Maine cannot get enough of native son and master of macabre, Stephen King. I know all about his books, movies, mayhem, and dark characters. I love diving into a Stephen King book and getting scared out of my wits, loving and hating every minute of it. I swear the scariest movie I've ever seen is The Shining.

Everyone needs access to good Thai food. It should be a requirement wherever one lives. When I lived in Southern Maine, there were several to choose from. And honestly, it was one of things that was kind of hard to cope with when I moved back to Bangor 10 years ago.

Stephen King has been the King of providing us with the scariest thrillers of all time. My personal favorite book is...

All together now! "I should have bought it when I saw it at Marden's." If you think about it, there really aren't many retail stores quite like Marden's. To say that it is unique to Maine would certainly be an understatement, so it makes sense that they would have an insanely catchy jingle and back in the day, a very Mainer type of spokesperson.

Nowadays, it may seem like a new restaurant is popping up in that space every week.
