These owners have been in Bethel a long time. It's barely 20 miles between the Gorham location and the SR Brew Pub, the business cycle is the same in Bethel. Their game plan is well illustrated in the new layout--come mud, they can shut one side down to lighten the payroll and still have bar...

2 of us were at Mr. Pizza for lunch on Monday. Melissa at the bar is Rick Savage's wife, they are owners, she's doing some floor shifts while they continue to hire staff. She was very comfortable saying that as June closed in on them, they put some stuff on the back burner so they could get...

Rocket, the whole sordid story can be found online in several newspapers, the Bangor Daily, Lewiston Sun Journal and Portland Press Herald. Rick and Ron could have backed down at any point in their defiance, come into compliance, and still be running the Sunday River Brew Pub today. Their own...

I watched a short video advert for the Kitty on Wednesday afternoon, in which Kevin St Gelais said they got 29 inches in that 3/13-14 storm. I do know just as well as the next person that ski areas buy special yardsticks, but MWAC quoted'a 23" inch measurement at about 3800 feet, across the...

At 28 years old, it's more than likely he was a graduate student or a pre or post- doctoral fellow right here in New England. Boston, Hanover NH, New Haven CT. Pick one.

It has been noted before now that NH F&G rangers are salaried personnel, who are exempt from overtime pay. Why, in the middle of winter, would hikers be assessed rescue costs labeled as Overtime costs for those state employees ? That has always been a sore point for me. If ever you asked a NH...

I'm still not sure whether there was 1 on MW, or one on Jewell, and another on Gulfside later in the afternoon. There is never a good day to think you are more powerful than Mother Nature.

Jimmy and LouAnne are at that place in life where bodies have pitched a fit after 80 hours + a week for dozens of years. No business is worth death. Neither of them wants to walk away, but life's too short even without a restaurant to run. My husband and I were there today, both of...

It's high density memory foam, IOW shape retention is a key feature. It doesn't slump under weight or pack down, the ventilation is a bonus.

Hit up a discount retail store for a really inexpensive egg-crate mattress topper in twin bed or cot size. Measure and cut to fit, egg-crate to your back, and the ventilation need goes way down.

How's Kennebunk doing being promoted as an awesome place to move a family ? Everyone liking the promotion of food trucks at Congdon's ? What do you think of the purveying of Flo's dogs ?

I didn't break anything, but had an epidural abscess and a double laminectomy in November, 6 weeks of IV antibiotics after the surgery and will be discharged by my Home Health PT next week. Doing the work is key--I got out of the house this week and made the steps back in look easy. The more...

I'm not Tom, but for years I've used the MyCoal Grabber ( and look-alikes) in the way that you describe-- with the warmers situated on the backs of my hands, not in the palms. As explained to me by an exercise physiologist, the blood supply for your hands and fingers mainly comes across the...

Because you can't always get a ride down from the summit.

Actually, the person to talk to about cleaning up the trackside at the Cog, is Dennis Tupick, of Randolph. Dennis was the one who did all the site work for the power line up the Cog ROW, and as part of the environmental mitigation, he also transported literally tons of Cog trash down to Cog...
