Maine is well-represented in the prestigious Travel + Leisure magazine's top 100 hotels in the world. To make the list at all is remarkable. To make it twice is a very big deal. The featured hotels are based on customer reviews, so the guests who have stayed there know what makes them amazing. Which Maine hotels are ranked among the top 100 in the world?
How Many of These Huge Maine Concerts at the Augusta Civic Center Do You Remember?
Years before the Maine Savings Amphitheater in Bangor, the Cross Insurance Arena (formerly the Cumberland County Civic Center) in Portland, and Bowl in the Pines Amphitheater became the prominent concert venues in Maine, there was the Augusta Civic Center. Built over the summer and autumn of 1972, the 49,000-square-foot event...

Thankfully, Officers Chandler Wyman and Chris...
Look at One of the Most Stunning and Unique Moths in New England
I really do love nature-y things. While I don't spend as much time in the woods as a lot of people, mostly due to allergies and an old leg injury that makes it no fun to walk long distances... I really enjoy the fact that the internet can occasionally not be a total dumpster fire, and that you can legit find cool things about where you live, that may have never known.

Deadpool & Wolverine Cameos: The Full List of Marvel Characters Who Appear
The following post contains SPOILERS for Deadpool & Wolverine. SPOILER ALERT: Deadpool and Wolverine are both in this movie. I just thought you might want to know. It’s called Deadpool & Wolverine, but really that is selling the new Marvel movie short. Sure, Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool and Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine are the two main characters. But this movie is like a cinematic universe unto itself. It’s got more cameos than It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. (Kids, ask your parents. Or maybe your grandparents at this point. Or just ask me: It’s an old movie with a lot of cameos! This is a good joke! Trust me.)
The Setlist From Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Woodstock ’99 Fiery Finale
What did Red Hot Chili Peppers play during their festival closing set at the notoriously chaotic Woodstock '99? Their 16-song headlining performance featured a wealth of hits, some deeper cuts and a pair of covers with the closing cover being unfortunately timed given the events that were going on in the crowd.
Here’s Why There Are Rows of American Flags Inside The Maine Mall in South Portland
If you take a quick stroll through the Maine Mall these days, there are a lot of new stores and kiosks to discover. While other malls across the country are struggling, the Maine Mall is thriving.

From Newton, Massachusetts, to Scranton: John Krasinski and B.J. Novak Together for Decades
There are so many actors from New England who have made it big. From Adam Sandler to Seth Myers, Sarah Silverman, Dan Brown, Stephen King, Mandy Moore, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, and Rachel Dratch, the list goes on and on. I have to think, however, that The Office deserves a Dundee Award for the most cast members from Massachusetts. Two of them are even from the same city.
Every M. Night Shyamalan Twist, Ranked (and Spoiled!)
If the headline didn’t already make it clear, the following post is going to spoil the endings of a whole bunch of M. Night Shyamalan movies. When you go into an M. Night Shyamalan movie, you know that not everything is as it seems. Not all of his movies end with narrative-shattering twists, but most of them do, and his most iconic third act reveals altered movies, and the way we think about them, forever. Because we love Shyamalan’s movies, because we love a good twist, and because we love to rank stuff, we’ve decided to rank every Shyamalan twist, from The Sixth Sense and beyond.

Did My Chemical Romance Get Hacked? New Photo + Post Suggest So
Did My Chemical Romance's Facebook page get hacked?. At first, it appeared as if the band was getting ready to tease a big announcement after their profile picture was updated to a new MCR logo. A followup post linking out to a news article about a country music star, however, seems to indicate that perhaps something more nefarious is afoot.
‘White Lotus’ Star Jennifer Coolidge Spotted in Provincetown, Massachusetts
Jennifer Coolidge, a Norwell, Massachusetts, native, rose to fame in the late '90s/early 2000s. Her role as Stiffler's Mom in American Pie, which came out in 1999, really put her on the map! Many American Pie's came after the original (four total), and in my opinion, they were all awesome.
Jerry Cantrell Announces New Album, ‘I Want Blood’
Jerry Cantrell will release a new album this fall, titled I Want Blood. "This record is a serious piece of work. It's a motherfucker," Cantrell said in a press release. "It's hard, no doubt, and completely unlike Brighten. And that's what you want, to end up in a different place. There's a confidence to this album. I think it's some of my best songwriting and playing, and certainly some of my best singing."
Maine’s State Bird Falls Short: 20 Feathered Contenders Who Could Soar
Let's face it, Maine's state bird stinks. No offense to all you black-capped chickadee fans, but what has that dorky little loudmouth ever done to deserve the recognition it gets? The honor of being the state bird from the greatest state in the nation is just too important to give to some lame bird that has nothing going for it.
The Dunkin’ Location in the Scarborough, Maine, Walmart is Never Going to Reopen

Why Matt Damon Belted Out ‘Sweet Caroline’ on Live TV
Late night talk shows can get pretty funny, as is the case with NBC's "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon." The host loves music, and actors who can sing, so naturally there's a connection for both to collide. Fallon writes and performs musical parodies and videos for content to his...

According to an article by thestreet.com, Olive Garden plans to increase its menu prices across the nation, including its three New Hampshire locations in Newington, Manchester, and Nashua.
Those Aren’t Clouds in the Sky Over Maine. It’s Actually Smoke From a Huge Fire
It's something that, especially over the last several years, we've noticed happening more often in the skies of Maine. That, of course, is seeing smoke in the form of haze in the daytime sky. According to the National Wildland Fire Situation Report in Canada, there are currently 118 uncontrolled fires...
