Here Are Some Cool + Weird Gifts For People Who Love Bangor, Maine [GUIDE]
Living in Bangor is a pretty cool thing. People who don't live here ask you if it ever stops snowing, if you've ever heard "King of the Road," and, of course, if you've ever met Stephen King.
Then there are the people who've moved away. Florida's probably pretty nice, but you know they miss the old Queen City. And then there are the visitors, all those people who fly in and out of Bangor International Airport or come to the summer concerts on the waterfront.
So, here are some unusual gifts for all of those people plus anyone who lives here and loves it!
