Great story thanx for sharing

Maybe it was Tanglewood in Lincolnville.

😊

Thank you, Peter!

Peter, I am in agreement with you that these are interesting videos to watch. I, too, looked up the home. An incredible home with lots of beautiful architectural design.

I read this comment before watching the video and knew this had to be the house down the street from Stephen King! I went on the Stephen King tour recently (SK Tours of Maine, would highly recommend) and did the same thing when I saw the house for sale

They had to keep dropping the price. In Dec it sold for $882,500.00

Enjoy your video on Bangor but you missed the downtown area. You skirted all around it.

75 Broadway West the house 3 doors down, is also 5 bedrooms, with 3 1/2 baths, 5,400 Sq. feet. going for $919,900.

King’s house has been donated to be a writers retreat- not sure if it already is or going to be in a few years. The historical society of Bangor just showed Pet Cemetery at Mt Hope Cemetery. Hannibal Hamlin is buried there too. Next time you visit you should do one of the historical walking tours- the Great Fire of 1911 is very interesting. Even just walking Mt Hope is interesting and you can do a self guided tour on the historical society’s page.

We have our fair share of dying towns that are ruined. Most are old mill towns or some other industry that has died out or moved overseas.

Sometimes better when we do lose half the population. Lol. It's usually the people who start problems here that leave first. 😂

Hey! I actually live in bangor and I can tell you it's always very busy, if you ever want some pictures of the area hit me up!

Yankees are famous for their frugality. There's an old saying I can remember my Grandmother quoting: "Use it up, wear it out, make do or do without".

Things used to be made by actual craftsmen and with immense pride.

Thanks, CL!

This is a very complicated conversation. "Respect" is tied to value. Some folks feel as if they have no value. Those links are quite systematic. Looking at a few simple videos where the majority population is white and middle-class (another entire psychosis and conversation for some in this society) isn't going to help. I grew up in the suburbs of Maryland (and I'm of that 1% I'm sure so many sigh in relief over), so I had a clean neighborhood and an excellent place to live. It wasn't rich, but moderate and modest. Those who don't come from a people robbed of value and equity from the start may not understand what it takes to build respect. The inner cities were red-lined and abandoned, set-up for poverty. It is no wonder big alcohol and tobacco place their massive street signs and liquor stores throughout those areas, in large numbers, and business owned by certain ethnic groups simply abandoned the regions, after industry shut down. Without understanding the systematic causes of poverty and inner-city mechanisms, you can't just judge them like that (thought, I gather you 'meant well', as so many claim to). I live in rural Vermont now, but have great empathy for those having to grow up inner-cities. I never had to grow up that way, but I understand the intricacies and social nuances that create those places. Believe me, the mentality of some of the majority is not innocent in this. Having to give "race" numbers is a misnomer, since "race" is NOT a scientific concept, but a social one. It makes my skin crawl to be told those numbers, as so many people find it so important to their identity.

Thanks, Vince!

And then meet a handsome widower with a cute kid. Which is the plot of every hallmark movie

@@andrewward5891lol he would own the local winery but would be so modest and down to earth

@@silverlining7112- we’ve already written half the script for the movie. We just need the Evil Corporation the New York executive works for to try to buy the local landmark

@@andrewward5891 lol and offer her a VP position if she can sway the council in their favour

The hansom widower's wife died in a tragic boating accident, he he has wistful yearning for the water, but he won't go on his boat because it brings back bad memories. He goes everywhere with his golden retriever named "Dylan' after his favorite poet. He smokes a pipe and wears tweed and spends his time looking pensively out to sea. We can feed these parameters into an AI app to write the script. As I remember Belfast used to have a famous old wooden ship wreck stuck in the mud flats with three masts and spars. It gave the town an eriee ghostly feeling.

Should have made a video and started your own channel.

Wow! Thanks for that information! It's so wonderful to get the chance to see the inspiration for such works! Funny how our reap life experiences plat so much into our creativity.

I hope Joe and Nic will visit that area too, unless it's dangerous of course(no idea, I'm from Europe)

Did you know the shinning was based off the resort in st andrews by the sea in NB? His parents were regular vacationers there but the owners of the lodge didn’t want a ghost movie to take place at the resort so they moved location to Denver.

I remember watching the movie, Stand By Me. In 86, my freshman yr of HS, I thought it was "meh 🤷‍♂️"....Probably because the movie was aimed at a target audience of 30+ to stir up their childhood nostalgic memories from the 60s. With child actors in hopes of attracting kids to the movie.

I can kind of agree with your thoughts. Movies are a rough translation of novels. SK novels are usually ten times better than the movies which followed. But this is just my opinion. Some people enjoy reading and some can’t stand it. On a side note my youngest daughter really enjoyed the movie and considers it a top five. Also I read somewhere that the movie was filmed out in Oregon I believe. Maybe wrong about that though. If you ever get up to Maine check out the rural Durham area. You get a better understanding of SK and his ideas for writing his novels.

Hello! You have a great weekend too! 😁

Wow!

Compared to prices in my country(the Netherlands) this is too be honest a bargain. They did all maintenance not too long ago. Wondering if it's built on an old graveyard? Especially the large piece of land behind it, aah well I hope that there isn't a writer nearby who reads this and decides to write a horror book about it...

Seems like that’s it. 👍

You’re correct. I went to college there (a while ago).

yes lol. Think Oreo but instead add ahno at the end haha

My dad who was born and raised in Maine wouldn't consider Kittery part of the state at all! Haha that's just to say it's a totally different world as you go north and especially inland. Definitely try to get up there sometime.

It was there like everyday this summer so it's a possibility. Fun Fact, a deer impaled itself on that fence a couple months ago. spooky

It is pretty in winter also but pretty miserable to be outside!! LOL

@@DavidSheridan-kt7hv As long as you have heat and a good book, who cares? 😉

Yeah those nice Belfast homes in the video go for at least $500k. And none were for sale.

@@andrewward5891 I just looked at Redfin and the houses in that part of Belfast range from a low of $500K to $1.45M. The specific area Nic was in is where the $1M+ houses are located. Belfast is no longer affordable except for people from away looking for a summer or retirement home.

Yes thanks for this! No way those nice downtown mansions are going for under 500k.
