These are the Most Hilarious Rejects of Maine’s State Flag Designs
I made my own design for the new state flag... I never actually sent it in, because my design was for a mythical creature named Pine Tree Rex.

Can You Safely Swim in Maine Lakes Where You Shouldn’t Eat the Fish?
When I was a kid, we ate so much white perch... It was a staple breakfast food at camp when I was young. I'd catch white perch every night after dinner, right off the dock. Then I'd clean them and throw them in the fridge for fish and eggs the next morning. Trust me, if you want a heavenly breakfast, it's pan fried white perch and eggs. Add some home fries and toast? Forget about it... So good.

Exciting News: Trolleys Make a Comeback in Bangor This Fall
Bangor's public transit system has changed over the years. If we're being honest, I feel like Bangor has never quite found the right name for their public transportation system. When I was a kid, it was literally just called The Bus. That's it. It was painted in black letters against this orange-y, striped background. And they were these really small diesel buses. But they did the job.
Almost 75% of Mainers own their home. But is that a good thing?
Or condo, or whatever. The point is, most of us are homeowners. Now, buying a house in Maine 5 years ago was almost a cinch.
