1. Well, well, well, it looks like summer decided to make a last minute appearance this week! It’s been a doozy of a gorgeous few days here in Maine, and it looks like it’s going to last right through the weekend. What fun can we get up to this time? In the Bangor area, Friday […]
By now, a pretty large percentage of you have already seen the “IT” movie — judging by the film’s record breaking $117 million box office haul over the weekend, and reports of multiple sold-out screenings all over the Bangor area, you flocked en masse to see everyone’s favorite demonic clown. Which is why we don’t […]
As the “IT” film enters theaters, moviegoers are getting into the spirit of the movie by planting one of the story’s iconic images — the red balloons Pennywise “gives” out — in various places.

1. Real talk for a minute: If you haven’t done your part to help relief efforts for Hurricane Harvey, go online and donate to any of the excellent hurricane relief organizations listed on Charity Navigator. And you know more help will be needed once Irma hits. Scary times, my friends. You can spare $20 to help […]
1. Well, we’ve made it. It’s Labor Day weekend. Doesn’t seem possible. It also happens to be the first Friday of the month, which means there are First Friday Art Walks all over the state, including right here in Bangor, from 5 to 9 p.m. Also in town that night, there’s music from Bandwich at […]

The building was formerly the home of Kingman’s, […]
We noted on Monday that at some point over the weekend, a red balloon — the symbol of Pennywise from “IT” — appeared in one of the front windows of Stephen King’s house on West Broadway in Bangor. We assumed Mr. King put the balloon there himself. When we asked him, though, he said it […]
As if to suggest that perhaps there is something to the idea that an evil, immortal supernatural being lives in the sewers of Bangor — excuse me, Derry! — Stephen King has hung the unofficial symbol of Pennywise in the window of his West Broadway home: a red balloon. You know, the harmless plaything Pennywise […]
1.It’s American Folk Festival weekend in Bangor! That, to me, means two things: we’re in the home stretch for summer, and I’ll be spending the vast majority of Saturday night at the dance pavilion. A full schedule of all the excellent music to be heard this weekend can be found online at americanfolkfestival.com. Elsewhere in town, the […]
Going to see the new adaptation of Stephen King’s classic novel “IT” in the movies next month will be scary enough — for King fans and horror fans in California, they get to experience the menace of Pennywise first hand for the next few weeks. New Line and Warner Brothers have created an immersive haunted […]
