Since it is National Pancake Day, it seems like the perfect time to ask this question again!. The National Pancake Day is celebrated throughout the United States each year on September 26. As we are sure you are aware, pancakes are round, flat cakes prepared from a thick batter made of flour, milk, and eggs. They are cooked on a frying pan or griddle.

Like Kevin Garnett said, "Anything is possible." Last week, I asked the question, "How Much Do You Really Have to Train for a 5K in Maine?" I was wondering this because I found myself in that exact situation. On Wednesday afternoon, while reading about the Old Town Riverfest scheduled for...

Hundreds of votes were cast, and the results are in!. Did you know that last Wednesday was National Pepperoni Pizza Day? We thought it would be the perfect time to pit two local giants against each other and see who comes out victorious. Now, of course, we know that there are many fantastic options for pizza in the Bangor area, so much love to all of those spots, but we wanted to narrow it down to two of the most legendary.

Take the kids and enjoy an afternoon of safe trick-or-treating in the Bangor Mall parking lot, on Halloween!. Candy, fun, family and community, is what it's all about this Halloween. There is a new trend in the last few years that is changing the way that people go trick or...

Over the weekend, it was announced that eight-time Grammy-winning artist Usher will headline the 2024 Apple Music Halftime Show for Super Bowl LVIII at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Now, I have great respect for Usher and his talent, but to my knowledge, he has never performed in Bangor.

Like if you were in the hospital, would anyone come visit? Ok, maybe that's being a bit drastic. Hopefully everyone who has any reason to be in the hospital for an extended stay has someone to come visit them. But say you were home with the flu...

You know those sayings "make something good out of something bad" and "when one door closes, another one opens?" That's kind of been my life since 2018. And as I look back at the last few years broadcasting from the Townsquare studios here on Acme Rd. in Brewer -- the place where I started my career almost 20 years ago -- I realize these past five years have been a really big deal for me.
