What meanings do permanent residents and second homeowners construct and ascribe to Rangeley? Both groups of actors rely on similar narratives of the rural idyll to construct Rangeley’s place distinction—they imagine it to be safe, isolated, and removed from the problems associated with the rest of the world.

The most daunting separation that occurs between the races is in the living space.
