I'm sure you've heard of this program from the United States Postal Service. Okay, maybe that's pushing it for the younger generation that isn't really into snail mail at all. But it's still back, and would love your help. USPS Operation Santa is a 111-year-old program that not only helps...

There's nothing like the beauty and stature of a lighthouse. The iconic structures sit idly by, almost stoic-like, through changing seasons and the fickle weather. Maine is no stranger to these historic protectors of seafarers. Incredibly, the Pine Tree State has 65 of them still standing. While Portland Head Light...

There's a very good reason why the phrase "life is short" has been prevalent in pop culture for decades. The statement is direct and to the point, a reminder to make the best of the days you have on planet Earth. Data compiled by the CDC puts our mortality into...

Not only has this North Conway Christmas attraction been open since 1984, it's open every single day of the year (except for Christmas).

If you're a kid at heart, check this out. Story Land is 70 years young, and still tugs at the youth in all of us. Once again the amusement park in Glen, New Hampshire, is serving up a good time on special nights in 2024. The difference is that no...

The hustle and bustle of the holidays is already buzzing around in the air. You can feel the wallets bulging, the receipts- receipting, and the crowds of people rushing through the aisles.

Here in New England we really love our overstock and discount stores. They are so popular in this part of the country that we have several discount store chains. Yeah, we don't just have discount stores, we have entire discount store chains. The most popular of these are Ocean State...

Whether you love this time of year in New England or not, there's one thing that can't be denied -- New England in the winter time is something special. Majestic, even. Sure, when you take a deep breath in during the most frigid parts of winter, your nose hairs may all instantly freeze -- and from personal experience, don't ever try to see if your tongue really does stick to a pole when it's cold out, because first-hand experience says it does -- but there's something freshly crisp about that cold air.

It's the Sea Dogs annual Holiday at Hadlock this Saturday from 10 AM to 12:30 PM. It's a quick stop for Santa because obviously, this is his busy season. But it's quite the sight to see Santa give his reindeer a break and drop into Hadlock in the ELF One helicopter!

If we have learned anything from 2023, it's that Grimace is a cultural icon when it comes to fast food. Now, it appears McDonald's is ready to capitalize on the purple character's popularity once again as we head into the holiday season. How Grimace Became An Iconic Character For McDonald's.

Let's be real... Everyone in Maine thinks they're a good driver. I have a theory that all this chit-chat surrounding the idea of "Mass-hole" drivers is a lot of bull crap. I've driven in Boston more times than I can count and have never run into any issues. If I need to merge, I just merge. And drivers there have no problem with that. Ever try to merge onto anything in Maine?

The young whale was found washed up on a Steuben beach, and people were soon posing with the carcass and posting it on social media.

Christi (Holmes) Elliott posted a photo of the whale on her Facebook page.

Count this as yet another reason I love having a fake tree. Several years ago, my wife and I both realized we were keeping the real tree dream alive in our house, because we both thought the other one really loved having a real Christmas tree. Turns out both of us couldn't stand it and were more than thrilled to hop on the fake tree bandwagon.

David Letterman was, in my humble opinion, the best late night talk show host behind Johnny Carson. His wit, sarcasm, and ability to find a funny angle on just about anything happening in the world or his own studio, make him a legend of late night. After 35 years of...
