Tim O’Brien, author of a new guide to Maine will talk about Maine fun facts when he visits Bangor Library on September 7 at 6:30 pm for a colorful presentation on his book, “The Maine Roadshow: A Roadside Tour of the State’s History, Culture, Food, Funk & Oddities.”
A slideshow of Tim’s photographs from around Maine will accompany his presentation.
About the book
The book is lavishly illustrated with nearly 450 photos, all taken by the author, and more than 400 listings, all visited in person by the author, during a five-year, thousands-of-mile journey exploring and documenting all corners of the state.
A bit of a teaser that is an example of what you may find in the book: “The couch on which a U.S. Vice President and the highest reigning political servant born in Maine died upon still exists and is on display. In Bangor, one can visit the Ice Cream Saloon, take a walk on the wild side through the former red light district, or stop by city hall and see the official birth certificate for our favorite giant, Paul Bunyan.”
