I noticed that the Bangor location just seems to be slowly depleting their stock of TTRPG materials without really restocking or getting any new material in.

I'm in there on occasion and haven't seen their shelves hold something new in weeks. I visited the one in South Portland, which seemed to have so much more and even some pre-owned books of 4e dnd, which got me pretty excited.

Bangors location seems like it's running itself down, and I'm not super sure why but I hope it gets better because it's the closest one to Belfast.

In Lewiston it's absolutely management. The new manager is completely ineffectual as a leader. Firing well liked employees, hiring friends to shift leader with no training or experience. They're also incapable of taking constructive criticism, or having direct conversations with employees. As a person, I think the manager and assistant manager are chill people, but they have the leadership qualities of rancid shrimp.

CoA is a nice school but way over priced and from the people I know that went there, didn’t give them any kind of a leg up compared to other graduates. UNE is a good school but also very expensive. UMaine is well known for getting students hands on experience throughout their degree process. Honestly, what really sets one application apart from another after graduation is grades and hands on experience in and out of the classroom. Internships are everything in environmental sciences field. If you have any questions feel free to message me.

So that’s the cost to purchase a lifetime hunting license if the person is currently an Infant to Age 5.

Any hunter under age 16 must follow these rules:

•Hunters from 10–15 years of age must be in the presence of, and under the effective control of, a junior hunter supervisor.

•Hunters under the age of 10 must be in the presence of, and under the effective control of, a junior hunter supervisor who remains at all times within 20 feet of the hunter.

The Lewiston store has a weak inept manager. Their assistant manager and her are both deeply insecure and are slowly alienating or firing the competent staff

The Manager literally just fired one of their best staff for no cause, and hired the assistant managers friend directly to shift leader with no prior experience.

Give it a month it two before they fire the other two competent staff and hire their own cronies/friends.
