Exactly How Much Cocaine and Other Grossness Is on our Money?
Does 90 percent of our money have traces of cocaine on it? What about fecal matter and viruses?. Whether this is the first time you're hearing this or not, these are proven facts that are actually kind of mind-blowing (pardon the pun). We know our money is absolutely filthy and...
If You See Mainers Feeding Bread to Geese, Stop Them Immediately
This is a tough pill to swallow, considering feeding cute geese and ducks at the local pond was one of my happiest childhood memories. I think the thought of feeding bread to geese subconsciously comes to our brains the same way feeding a dog a bone would, but as it turns out, it's actually pretty damaging to them.
Creed’s Mark Tremonti Names the Darkest Time for the Band
Creed initially disbanded in June 2004, a full year after their last activity, but the band's darkest times actually preceded their split, as Mark Tremonti reveals in a recent Spin interview. In fact, Tremonti can point to the song "One Last Breath" as a track where the band was their...
Do Mosquitoes Bite You More if You’ve Been Drinking?

Four Easy, Everyday Items You May Not Be Replacing as Much as You Should
You know how our pillows start yellowing? You can be the cleanest person and it will still happen. It's from sweat, hair products, lotions, and natural oils from your skin. The yellowing is an obvious sign that we can only put off for so long before we need to hit Target, Home Goods, or Amazon and buy new ones.
Vermont Airbnb Has Private Golf Course, Bar, Gym, Tennis, and Room for 20+ People
I was debating writing this article, because I don't want other people to know about this place. Looking at rich and famous people's homes and properties doesn't get me too excited. I can't have that life, so why tempt myself?. Well, not this place. I am totally renting (booking) this...

But there's some good news to come out of our corner of the country.

Has the Iconic Big G’s in Winslow, Maine, Really Closed Permanently?
For nearly four decades, people in Central Maine have known that Big G's Delis in Winslow was the place to go for a great sandwich. Actually, Big G's not only served some of the best sandwiches in all of Maine, but also the biggest. These culinary delights were large enough to feed the average adult male for two meals.
Maine Neighbor Charges Parking Fee for Guests at Neighborhood Wedding
We all seem to have that one neighbor, or at least it seems like we do. A neighbor that we just have some unknown friction with due to conflicting personalities, different views, or simply just not understanding each other. But ideally, we keep the peace because, well, no one wants to turn what is hopefully a home full of peace into absolute chaos.
Benefit Event for Maine Twins Tragically Taken by Rare Virus
Like most parents, Kachira and Amanda were excited to welcome the joy of twins, Torben and Loxley. Shortly after they received their varicella vaccination, also known as the chicken pox vaccine, they were sadly admitted to the hospital. After a stay at Barbara Bush in Portland and then Boston Children's,...
The Heat Wave in Maine Shows No Sign of Letting Up
Here in Maine, the summer of 2023 was cooler and very wet. The same was true for much of New England. Clearly, this put a damper (no pun intended) on many people’s summer fun. If you were bummed by last summer’s weather, it looks like we are going to...
Redbox Locations in Maine, New Hampshire, New York, & Massachusetts Shut Down Suddenly
I am old enough to remember renting movies and video games from rental stores. My small town had locally-owned rental stores, but in most bigger towns, there were chain stores like Blockbuster and Movie Gallery. In the early 2000s, many grocery store chains got in on the rental action. It...
Go for the Gold: Maine Would Dominate These Five Olympic Events
It's crazy to think that another four years (well, technically, three, since the last Summer Olympics were held in 2021 because of you-know-why) have already passed, and we're on the brink of another few weeks of the world's best competing head-to-head for their country's bragging rights. The opening ceremonies for...
