Reflections on Kenduskeag Stream

The weather this weekend was amazing -- warm and sunny. I was outside, running errands and walking all over the historic downtown area. It was beautiful and I felt really inspired to take photos again, which has been missing these last couple of months.

This photo shows a reflection of an old semi-abandoned building on the Kenduskeag Stream.

Mural of Al Brady

Al Brady was a robber on the FBI Most Wanted List in the 1930s and was killed right here on Main Street, Bangor during a shootout with FBI agents.

Main Street, Bar Harbor

This is Main Street, Bar Harbor, a coastal town on Mount Desert Island off of the eastern coast of Maine. Bar Harbor is essentially a tourist and summer enclave where the population swells to over 50,000 between June and August each year. During the rest of the year, it is pretty much closed and inhabited by less than 10,000 people.

So have you been to a beach town lately?

Downtown Bangor

Here is another view of downtown Bangor from the corner of Main and Union Street.

So how has your week been so far?

The Charles Inn

The Charles Inn on Broad Street, off of Main Street in downtown Bangor is one of the hotels in the area. Bangor is the commercial and shopping center for the northern half of Maine so tourists from as far as Canada come down here to shop.

So do you have a favorite hotel?

Penobscot Theater

This is the entrance to the Penobscot Theater in downtown Bangor where I saw the play, Steel Magnolias last weekend.

The weather here has turned cold here in Maine and the heater is automatically on at night. So what is the weather like in your city?

Continuity of Commuity

This fountain sculpture, entitled Continuity of Community by Clark Battle Fitz-Gerald (1917–2004)is situation right in the middle of downtown Bangor. The buildings surround it have some of the best locally own restaurants and pubs around. In fact, my favorite cafe is just round the corner from here.

So what are your plans for the weekend?

iPhone Wednesday #6

This photo was taken at Thai Siam, a local Thai/sushi restaurant in downtown Bangor while I waited for my dinner to arrive. I ordered the same things -- Thai salad and pad thai noodles -- every time I got there.

Cross Streets

This is one of the major cross streets of downtown Bangor -- Market, Broad and Main Street. The red building in the background is one of the older buildings on Main Street. On the left is a small park with a fountain and a sculpture.

So what street did you grow up on?

Moonlight Night

This photo was taken on Hammond Street looking towards Main Street in downtown Bangor. I was driving down the street when I saw this amazing moon in the sky. It was so large and brilliant that I could see what appeared to be the moonscape. I pulled over and started taking photos. Unfortunately, I was unable to capture the details in the photo.

So when was the last time you pulled over your car to take a photo?

Downtown Bangor

This is Main Street in downtown Bangor where most of the businesses are small, independent retailers and restaurants. The big box chain stores are further north on Stillwater Avenue near the mall.

So do you have a nice downtown area in your city?

Kenduskaeg River

This is Kenduskaeg Stream looking north from Main Street in Bangor. See that statue on the right between the two lamp post? I have posted a photo of that statue early this month.

So do you live a stream or river?

Downtown Bangor

This is Main Street in historic downtown Bangor. The area has been making a come back with new restaurants and shops opening in the last couple of years. The only other shopping area in Bangor is off the interstate highway where the mall and chain restaurants are located.

So what is your downtown area like?

iPhone Wednesday #1

Kim of Seattle Daily Photo started a photo theme a couple months ago called iPhone Wednesday and since then, Chuck of One A Day - Mostly Seattle has joined in. I am posting my first iPhone Wednesday photo today.

This photo was taken in front of McLachlan Seafood, Inc. on Main Street in Bangor. On one side of the building is a retail store that sells live lobsters as well as other seafood items. On the other side is a lobster shack that serves steamed lobsters, baked clams and a host of other seafood dishes.

So what is your favorite seafood dish?

Reflection

This photo was taken at Giacomo's where I usually get my coffee on Saturdays. The cafe serves a great selection of Italian style paninis and desserts.

So do you usually go out for brunch or breakfast on the weekends?

Orono Pharmacy & Ice Cream Parlor

This old sign is located on Main Street in Orono, Maine. Orono is a small college town where you will find the University of Maine at Orono (UMO), which is about 10 miles from Bangor, Maine. I was here to meet friends for dinner last weekend. Unfortunately the pharmacy & ice cream parlor was closed.

So do you have a favorite ice cream flavor?
