The people who oppose this arena say it could cost taxpayers. But I don’t see that in this plan. Hollywood Slots will cover the costs of building it, and it will be a great asset for this community.

To that, the opponents say, what if Hollywood Slots goes away? That seems unlikely. We can come up with a million “what if’s” to keep us from progressing to make Bangor a better place. What if the Bangor Mall closes? What if there’s an earthquake?

We can’t let fear of the unknown keep us from being a better place to live.

Vote  “yes” on May 4.

Belfast is one of my favoite Day trips in Maine.  It offers outdoor recreation, unique shopping, incredible dining options and if you want to stay longer, some fantastic B & Bs.  Here are a few photos I took of the area.

A day that changed us forever.

Many of my clients know I am a big Keith Urban fan so I thought I would share pictures from his next to last show of the year in Essex Junction, VT.  Kris Allen from American Idol fame opened the show and really got the crowd going w/ his cover of Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror".  When Keith Urban entered the stage it started raining (outdoor venue) and it really created a dramatic feel with the wind & rain, but just as quickly as it came it passed.  This concert was one of the best I've been to (and I've been to a lot!).  As Keith Urban said "it was a magical night in Vermont!" 

The American Folk Festival is a large-scale, three-day event. Held each year at the end of August in downtown Bangor, Maine, the Festival presents the music and dance from the many cultures that make up America today.  Here are few photos I took at this year's event.
