The Los Angeles Times ran a story over the weekend about Bangor, highlighting specifically the city’s history with Stephen King — from his iconic West Broadway home, to city landmarks mentioned in his books, to SK Tours, the popular tour of Bangor operated by longtime King expert Stu Tinker. The story mentioned Dysart’s Truck Stop in Hermon and Nicky’s Cruisin’ Diner on Union Street, along with places like the Standpipe, the Thomas Hill House, Mt. Hope Cemetery and others, along with a bit of history. While it’s a shame the story neglected to include any other details about Bangor (all the shops and restaurants downtown, the Waterfront Concert series and other Bangor landmarks and events) it’s still a great primer for the thing the vast majority of people around the world know about Bangor: that it’s the home of Stephen King.
