Probably the most conflicted state there is when it comes to time. They were always arguing about it in the state legislature.

That happens to anyone who lives near a time zone border whether they are in the same state or not. I spent some time in Houlton, ME which is right on the border of Nova Scotia. There is a lot of travel between the two countries for people who live in border towns like that. We had Canadians that worked in Houlton and some Houlton residents worked over the border. We would take the kids for dinner in Canada, but it was always an hour later when we got there.
