Who would have thought that a refrigerated case of desserts at the Old Town Governor's Restaurant would have been a victim of the oppressive humidity that hit our area in July? This video was a big hit on our site.

Of course, we're big New England Patriots fans. When wide receiver Julian Edelman stopped at Evenrood's, we caught up with the restaurant's owner to ask some important questions. Spoiler: He had the salmon. As you may remember, it turned out he was in town to talk to Bangor Savings Bank employees.

When our friend and coworker Chuck Foster passed away, we were devastated. Our story on his death was most viewed story on our site in 2018. That's fitting considering the impact Chuck had on us and many of you during his long and memorable time on the airwaves here in Maine. We miss you, Chuck.
