Bangor area nightlife...? (Poland, Dedham, Franklin: university, live, moving)

Ok, but it's your turn for the pole. I'm getting old you know.

I don't really care for LIIT. I prefer Kentucky Burbon, than you. For the rest of you non (like me I an living (?) in New Hampshire) Mainers, going anywhere in the freezing dark on ice slicked roads is practiced by relativly few. The survivors learn to just stay home. Ok this is also an old guy's perspective. BTW the American Legion Post I belong to is not exactly a hot bed of descirnable activity. Unless sitting around BSing with a bunch of fellow old farts while getting hammered in a smoke filled room is considered an activity.

I stay home and watch a DVD of Battlestar Galactica with a glass of Knob Creek.

Have a happy holiday season and be careful out there.

Some have meat raffles each month,
some have holiday parties,
some hire a band each weekend,
some just hire a DJ each weekend.

It varies. And some are just dark smoke filled pits filled with heavy drinkers.

I seriously doubt this person would be interested in Fusion, which is an organization of young professionals. Diva's is on the other end of the spectrum. I have lived in Bangor for decades and have never heard of "South Bangor" . Perhaps you mean Dysarts in Hamden.

This brings back alot of old old memories. When we were young, the place to go was the Bounty Tavern. Ah, what good times were had there. Now the old Holiday Inn building is part of the new racino grounds.

Yes, I am old. LOL

[mollysmiles]

lol...nope! I remember it too....also when I was in college there was a great place in downtown Bangor we used to go, but darn it if I can remember the name--lol A friend of mine was a bouncer there for a bit. I think it was in the building where Cadillac Mountain Sports is....was?...anyway, there is still an outdoor sports business there! and they're great...as opposed to my memory

I actually met my first husband, who is the kids' dad, at the Bounty. Should've been a sign.....

In 1860 my great great aunt wrote in her journal her experience in going back to a place she used to hang out and enjoy the company of friends and comrades.....she could have been writing today and talking about the Bounty or any other place from her youth. Things don't change that much over the generations.

We passed the night at the old “red inn’ not so in these days for it is no longer a red inn but refitted up.
Ah, many a story might I tell and have the scene that same old dwelling.
Many a happy hour have we spent in our girlhood days beneath that same old roof in the hall which was then ample for our accommodations.
The group we met there are:
Scattered like roses in bloom
Some to the Bridal, and Some to the tomb.”

All have sipped at the cup of Sorrow. Some have drank it to the dregs.
Then My future was a hopeful sunny one, few had less clouds above them.
I have received much, have enjoyed much, but it is now “like a tale that is told.”

I love when you post these....I can't tell you enough how it warms my heart. Each time I am reminded that even though so very much has changed from that time til now, hearts are so much the same!
