Hi

Are police suck y’all literally don’t do anything except harass the homeless and you refuse to help them. Y’all ban them from their usual spot hidden away from the public so then they have to resort to a public park. What do you guys expect? Maybe if you weren’t so ill advised and had a little IQ with brain. You’d understand that they don’t have anywhere to go so if you keep banning The places where they stay hidden away because trust me, they don’t wanna be publicly shamed then they’ll mostly stay out of the way and not cause trouble, but I guess a 16-year-old is smarter than your entire town😢

Great stuff! Proud Rockland resident here, love to see my city’s history.

So many of these beautiful buildings lost to time. Town square been a gas station for ever. Looked better before.

Bangor's number of drug addicts is soooo hiiiggghhh. And then there are the crimes and Rednecks...

At 4:04, the photo with 7 men standing in the street in front of a couple buildings, that's Main Street in Madison, right across from Camden Bank and the Elm House Laundromat.

Do you have any pictures etc of my great grandparents Ora "Buck" Heath and Frances "Nanny" Thomas ? They had a farm that was turned into a parking lot for a Walmart I believe

Very sad.

That's my hometown! I was born at Cary Medical center in 01, I graduated from Caribou Highschool 3 years ago, I love my town. Caribou Vikings is the best team around!

Machias's water is so gorgeous. The best day always in my memory up there

Who is posting this am from maine

Get rid of its large percentage of Rednecks.

ENJOYED VIDEO VERY MUCH I AM FROM LAMOINE MAINE

My family is moving here soon from oregon! I am so excited!

My grandmother grew up in Machiasport, and told my grandfather (from Massachusetts) the history of the area, which he carried on to me after she died. It is amazing (and sometimes sad) to see how much the downtown has changed. I still miss how Downtown Machias used to have a wide variety of colours, which is now sadly narrowing down.

sad to see Skowhegan not progress at all in 100 years.

So cool!, I live in Calais Maine, born and raised and i still reside here to this day, as an 18 year old i say its kinda boring so we go to Bangor or Portland to do stuff. But other then that the history is really neat! :)

Enfield is the best suburb of Lincoln.

Wonderful pictures

Looks like Creepshow 2 movie entrance was filmed here

I know you

I was raised in Sanford ,Maine . (1984-1992) Sanford was the BEST in the 1980's. I remember MARDENS , BOWL ARAMA, SANFORD HOUSE OF PIZZA , SCHOOL STREETARKET, and BABES STORE ,right near BENSON PARK ,now called GOODALL PARK. Sad that Sanford ,took away it's beautiful history! I love Sanford still , til this day (March 9,2023

Shaw's and Mitton Store on the corner of Main St. and Water St. Henry S. Mitton was my great grandfather. Further up on Main Street is the Mitton Mansion which still stands with its original slate roof and turret. I have pictures of it surrounded by lawn and gardens. Today it is surrounded by asphalt and is a 6-family apartment house. My mother Ottilie Sarah was born in Caribou in 1920.

Great video. But that background music makes me sad.

This was fantastic! I retired to Gardiner from MA and absolutely love the city.

Like to see some cemetery photos. :) Great video.

Very nice to see these photos, I was Stationed at Loring AFB 1961-1965. Thanks for posting.

Nicely done!!!!

Memories! Glorious memories! My WTVL from 1944 to 1973. Worked as Bell Hop at Elmwood Hotel, cleaner at City Job Print, worker with A. J. Cary & Son's [const]. Schools: Myrtle St, St Francis, Sacred Heart, WTVL's Jr. & Sr HS. Played LL Baseball with Jaycee's, ?. HS Track & Field/Football. US Army Airborne 1961 -> 1964, VN 1962. Grew-up seeing her at her finest! The Grandest Dame of them all - The Elmwood Hotel, with all her magnificent splendor. When walking the halls in the wee hours of any morn while doing winds of the Night Watchman, the silence was deafening and the old wooden floors creaked in unison as if to speak.....with devil-tongue sounds that could rattle you to your bones.....your walks are cautious, at best! The lobby's coffee was always a good hot moment to regroup. Watched the Cobern Classical fire in ~1954, Brook's Tire Co. fire in ~1952-3or4. Street Dances 1956 & 57. HS Foot & Base ball games and Track & Field at Severn's Field or Old Colby Campus on College Ave with its large concrete stadium. Watched how WTVL was destroyed with Urban Renewal. The living streets of a well lite boulevard illuminated our youthful eyes and filled them with wants of more as the every-day spectacle expanded ten fold for the holidays. Woolworth's sat at a most convenient spot that would fill the air with delicate aromas of hot peanuts, and the other end was Diambries sp whose racks of fresh produce/fruit lined the walkway, and the pasta delectably prepared - as always, filled the air with an open invite to travel to Italy by passing through their doors for a sample of the finest cousin the downtown had to offer. Clothing stores that would/could/and did make or alter your clothes as needed. Shoe Stores that offered those same alternatives. Often either did work as was needed for quick repairs and you were on your way. We were a family of six. All were born at the Sisters Hospital off College Ave. I watched the little ice cream shop being built in the early fifties that was, and still is the Dairy Queen on College Ave. Waterville was my everything!

My new home town. Been here two years now.

Lived on Elm wood ave.....Collins street and airport trailer park in the early to mid 70"s

wow, cannot get enough after all these years. 1954-2022 still living in Italy but, miss My Maine. My amazing State of Maine. And Waterville. My entire family was Born here....Lacombe, Veilleux, Michaud, Hall, Pitts, Pettipas and others I never met. I just foound out my grandfather on Fathers side was NOT a 'HALL' but, Walter A PITTS. My God what is wrong with a Family which keeps this info. from their kids? Disgusting. A Secret? why? Pitts family of Tricadie, Nova Scotia. Anyway, I can respect my Mother and her family...Veilleux and Lacombe of Waterville, Maine. Goingbback to 1823.Before that Beauceville, Canada and in 1700s Cadillac, France. We are ALL IMMIGRANTS folks. O.K. Memories of Levine's, Sterns. 2 cent Bridge Becky Veilleux showed me in 1968 when I returned to Waterville from Malibu, California. My dad kicked his Hippie, Rock & Roll son out and sent him to Maine by Greyhound Bus. lol Thanks Dad I actiually loved it....Becky Veilleux, Patricia LaChance, Paul LaChance, Mark Carter, Danny Veilleux, Leonard Audet, Paul Coates, Pat coates. Foxy Pool Hall. Colby College. Arthur Ganya Ice Skaiting rink

The house at 2:41 is the Charles W. Vose house, where my great-great-grandmother lived. It's mostly hidden by a tree, but this is the best view I've found of it so far. Thank you!!

Awesome. Thank you.

Wow ! Great Pics !!!

Interesting, thank you. So much that really doesn't make sense about such grand buildings being built when it is said they were and then used for many of the things shown. Nothing really has changed, they are still used for apartments, shops, bars and cafes, etc. Then there's Dorthea Dix, it's truly stunning and for it to be built and then used as a mental asylum doesn't make sense (and really why such a gigantic building for mental patients in that time, how much of the population needed an asylum 🤔), much like many of the mental asylum across the country and also so many of the prisons. I mean why build a castle, use it for ten years and then turn it into a prison or a weapons storage. Nonsense.

Pretty sure that last shot was the Olympia Hotel, where I lived in the late 70's & That dormer looked down on the square. I could sit at my window and watch the fog roll in. Sadly, every place I ever lived or worked in that town was turned into a parking lot by the '90s. Sure did have a good time there though, while it lasted,

You made me love where I live more most of the buildings are still there

At 4:55 has a diesel locomotive but a steam locomotive in the engine house so must be in the 50s when Maine Central was replacing steam locomotives

Wow how awesome! Would love to have a pic of the old Masonic hall. Where do you get the pics from. Thank you for a peek in the past👍❤️🥇

My great great grandfather was street commissioner in this lovely place when he died after a trench collapsed on him on September 1921.

Brings tears to my eyes,good thing my girlfriend is asleep,I only live there 4 years but I cant forget Sanford,Maine.i recognize alot of th ed buildings and I wish I still lived there,not the most beautiful place but I lived there from my freshman to junior year in highschool,best time of my life and I'm now pushing 50 and still cant get over it

Kevin when most of these photos were taken poles were the only way to distribute power or telephone.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to watch this video! Many, many of my ancestors walked those streets!!

What happened to calais, it looked so lively back then but now it's a ghost town

Best damn town to live in

Thank you for making this wonderful video!!! I really, really enjoyed it!

Home sweet home ❤️

Aye- I fell if a ride there once

I grew up in Dexter and my family was well known around town due to my grandfather Hal Wilkins, National Retail Operations Supervisor for the Dexter Shoe Factory Outlets. He was the point man for the planning, development and layout of locations for the outlet stores and was the senior spokesman responsible for hiring and overseeing the day to day operations of all stores. Hal spent over 35 years contributing his best efforts to making the Dexter Shoe Company nationally recognized, until its demise when it was taken over by another company......Dexter is not what it used to be..
