~~ I have been to Bangor, it is a rather nice place.
The main thing I remember about it is going to see Stephen King's home.
An assistant in a tourist shop gave us the address; it is not a city secret.
Being an avid fan, I thought that was cool.
~~ The following is from the city's web site:
The Bangor region is surrounded by some of the most spectacular destinations in America for camping, hiking, recreational boating and more.
The Bangor Parks and Recreation Department provides 30 parks and specialised facilities throughout the community.
Our 650-acre City Forest has over five miles of walking, biking and cross country trails.
Stroll along the Kenduskeag Stream or the Penobscot River.
~~There's golf, outdoor swimming pools, tennis.
All the usual sports are catered for.
The website has more information on Bangor:
Downtown
Convention and visitor's bureau link etc.

The following link has Bangor's point of interest, historical sites, restaurants, entertainment etc.

There seems to be plenty to do in Bangor and there is always the rugged shoreline not that far to the east.
That is a lovely drive, lighthouses to see.
