When completed in 1923, the city had invested so much money into the structure, the majority of aldermen did not want to sign over the deed to the State Armory Commission. After a special referendum, the citizens […]

Do you find yourself sitting around the house not knowing what to do, wanting to be around water and yet don’t want to go all the way down to the coast? Well, you don’t have to look any farther than the Sebago Lakes Region (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebago_Lake). Sebago Lake is the deepest and second largest lake in […]
