What’s Your Gripe?
My gripe is people who go to the Turner Recycling Station with their pick-ups piled high with unsecured bags and boxes of trash, going down the road, losing bags (littering) here and there.

Eats: In the kitchen — Wintertime and the livin’ is easy … if you’ve got some Hurricane’s soup in your bowl.
There’s nothing quite like soup on a cold winter day. It warms you up, inside and out. The first version of soup was introduced around 6,000 B.C. amazingly, as a means to make animal parts and certain nuts edible, and not as a clever way to warm a person after being out in the cold. […]
Surviving the darkness — light, music, outdoor fun, indoor pursuits, drugs and knowing we’re all in this together are just some of the ways Mainers weather winter.
Lauren Zito loves darkness. The creator of the vampire chronicle “The Weakness,” she spends most of her days in the world of the undead, a place where things rattle and moan and feed in the dark. Light is not a friend to the creatures she has invented. When the northern half of the world tilts […]
Spanx. Ugg-ly boots. Oversized bags. Butt slogans. Fashion through the decade

Of course, lots of our fashion looks were resurrected from decades’ past, but the first decade of the millennium likely will be remembered for a few certain unfortunate looks. Let’s start this recap of the decade’s fashions with the […]

Talk of the town
Christmas music, police scanner-style On Christmas morning, a woman in Lewiston scooped up all of the presents beneath the tree and chucked them out into the street. Police were called and, while I wasn’t there to see how it unfolded, I think it’s safe to assume it went like this: Officer 1: “Ma’am, we really […]
Clogs became the shoes you loved to hate. DVR-ing became a verb. You stopped making trips to get film developed. Facebook became a time-sucking obsession for more than 300 million users globally. Google became a part of our brain function. Check out 50 wa
NEW YORK — Was it only a decade ago that a blackberry was a mere summer fruit? That green was, well, a color, and reality TV was that one show sandwiched between music videos on MTV? There were, of course, huge political and social upheavals that roiled our world in the past decade. But there […]
