Did You Know Maine’s Stephen King Was a Contestant on ‘Jeopardy!’?
I still watch Jeopardy! occasionally, especially recently, when I stuck around after watching Pat Sajak's final week of hosting Wheel of Fortune. These two game shows have been back-to-back in syndication since September 1984. Wheel debuted in syndication a year earlier, and the brilliant Merv Griffin decided to bring back another of his creations, Jeopardy!, to pair with Wheel. It's been a huge success.

Maine Rightfully Named One of the Most Peaceful States in America

5 Things Gen X Never Had to Worry About While Growing Up in Maine
Being of the Gen X generation, I feel like my age group (born in the 1960s and '70s) is the best generation. Of course, every generation thinks they are the best. It's our childhood that sticks with us and makes us who we are today. Gen X can't remember where they left their glasses or their phone, but they can remember when gas was less than $1 a gallon, phones had long cords so you could talk to your friends in private, and you spent more time outside playing than you did inside (with the exception of Saturday morning cartoons).

Oldest School in America is in New England and Almost 400 Years Old
New England is chock-full of history. We all know the story of Plymouth Rock, when the pilgrims arrived on the Mayflower, yadda yadda. No, this is not a history lesson. But there were many "firsts" in New England before there were "firsts" elsewhere in the United States because of the early colonization in the early 1600s. And that is what interests me.

When the heat and humidity combine to bring us the real summer weather, all of a sudden Maine isn't as pretty as they thought.
