Last time I was at You Know Whose was the night of the Winter Formal at MCI, 1988. We ate a pizza, then dropped the car off and dropped acid. Walked to the dance, stayed long enough to get our photo taken then left to go watch the finale of the Olympic women’s skating.

Anyhow OP, Waterville is fine. Decent grocery stores, wait for a haircut isn’t too bad, and there is a good frame shop downtown.

Accurate!

Can’t bear to ever since La Casa was torn down. 😪🍈🤗🍈😪

Bangor’s a great place to get a hotel room and take a nice hot shower after a few days of hiking in Baxter State Park. I recommend it as a central location utilized to make day trips to some of the most beautiful spots in Maine. Get up at dawn’s crack and climb Katahdin, or head to Belfast, or hike Gulf Hagas then keep driving to eat lunch at Abbott Bakery… visit Fort Knox and go up to the Penobscot Narrows Bridge observatory.

PLEASE, I am begging you, watch this clip. Dick Stacy was some sort of genius!

TV ad for Dick Stacey’s Plaza Motel

“he sends his pure

sweet

love.”

🤣 LEGENDARY.

Do you remember how Stacy’s sold ad time to New Brunswick destinations? I used to BEG my parents to take me to Magnetic Hill in Moncton. “Come on, PLEASE? It’s only five hours away!”

Don’t get me started on “Dialing for Dollars with Eddie Driscoll!” My older siblings worshipped him!

Interesting point. The loss of the tourists (and shoppers) from New Brunswick then the death of Great Northern meant two of the avenues into Bangor pretty much dried up.

It’s all been downhill since Stacy’s Country Jamboree went off the air.

Yes I know that was in Brewer, just give me this because you know it’s true!

Volunteer to help the elderly or housebound- it shouldn’t be too hard to find a local resource about this in whatever town you live in. Gets you out, good karma. improves someone’s quality of life and can be a potential life saver for them.
