I think I'd rather have a train between the two. It'd be about as long as the ride from Portland to Boston.

The more people that go to OOB, the more people miss the good shit that's right down the street and is much calmer.
I could literally grab some food at OOB, take a small drive, and eat it in a quieter place without crowds that make my anxiety go whoa there.

Reply to I, too saw the Musk satellite stream. I’m concerned we will one day look up and see advertising instead of points of light. by k_mainer
I would contribute to missile launchers if drones and satellites try this. It's bad enough that light pollution has made the night sky impossible for most people to appreciate.

Good job showing your ableism. You couldn't find any other adjective to use other than a slur? Specifically wanting a female DJ is dumb? Stupid? Idiotic?
FWIW, it helps me weed out people who are ableist and don't have a good grasp on the English language.

No knock on Bangor but I'm not sure I would use the term "shoot up" for an a car ride that's usually close to 4 hours from Boston.

Besides what others have mentioned, having worked for the Umaine system, it seems like there is crap leadership within the university system as well as crap investment by Maine into the public universities. I think umaine will continue to hold on and get by rather than flourish.
Universities can bring a lot to an area. And, yes, I know New England has a declining rate of young people, but there are plenty of universities that are doing well across the country, and Maine has a high need for trained medical professionals especially with its aging population. There’s actually great opportunity here in that sense. It really feels like the umaine leadership sees that there are fewer young people in Maine and have just decided to give up, which is pretty depressing. So, I’m just not sure that Bangor will benefit from the college in the future unless the leadership changes and some actual vision is adopted.

You think Bangor is bad, you should see Lewiston.

I guess I kind of forgot when restrictions loosened and tightened again.

We’ve started doing day trips to Bangor. Great coffee at wicked brew, good used book stores, and good shopping (rock and art store is my favorite right now, followed by one lupine — the paired yarn store is fantastic with local wools). We often pair it with Waterville to do vinyl record shopping and a meal at opa’s or buen appetito. Would recommend

Maine North of Bangor is very sparsely populated, so mostly can draw from communities to the east and south, UMaine being the exception. Portland draws from all directions, and even into NH and Mass.

It's a 2 hour drive tops up 295/95... I can't see that ever being a profitable or popular commercial flight.

It won’t be a typical wedding, disco camp vibes is the idea. So something different is what we want.

They are known for underground dance, but they both also play retro hits and can do music for a wedding with old people and kids and stuff.
