Same reason we drive big trucks. To compensate for other unnamed deficiencies.

I grew up in the County. It was a ghost town when I was in high school in 2009. Not sure how it's still open.

I remember seeing Quiet Riot in the early 80s Instead of Bang your Head. They were singing Bangor Maine!

There are tons of jobs on indeed, unfortunately with the increased cost of electricity and the decreasing value of herb, tons of growers are getting weeded out.
Pun intended.

That's um... Quite the detour, but I am so glad they are safe!

And this is an actual daycare that the public could utilize? I'm right next door to Brunswick and everything in Freeport and Yarmouth is $275/wk on the low end.

Grew up in the town next to PI (Fort Fairfield) and I watched this mall die. It makes me so sad, my friends and I used to love going on mall dates here. Still go back every Christmas just to get Chopsticks, the Chinese place in the food court. Knew it would happen eventually, but what a shame.

I feel like you could make a pretty funny (and probably offensive) movie about two intellectually challenged Maine ladies getting lost for a week on a short drive to get fast food. I love how they couldn't navigate their way out of paper bag but did apparently survive many nights in extremely cold conditions. Classic Maine.

That’s all I talked about with my parents— I only come home once a year but we always go to the mall to get Chopsticks!

JC Penney is one of them but ironically it appears they pay their own electricity. Who knows if they can even open alone.

Reply to comment by ecco-domenica in Anybody remember The Pine Tree Restaurant in Bangor ? by lobstah
Yeah, he was the most interesting part of it...although the cheeseburgers and fries were good. He almost, if not always wore a suit and saw you to the table or booth. He had a thickish accent and would ask " How Many ?", and then say "Pleasure" as he sat us...usually just me and my mom. We both loved the place and the quirky guy. It was very clean in there.

It's a glandular thing. We're taking all kinds of meds for it.

I'm happy to hear that these 2 women were found safe and are home but i have to ask how often does the state of Maine issue driving licenses to people who are easily disoriented and have trouble processing information ?
I'm asking sincerely.

Yes, they are licensed with the state of Maine. You can find them on the Maine licensed child care search website, that’s how I found them 3 years ago!
