“Downtown, Up River: Bangor in the 1970s,” my debut publication with Islandport Press, is now available wherever books are sold. Featuring hundreds of archival photos from the late 1960s until the early 1980s, the book details how Bangor, Maine changed in the years of urban renewal, big-box stores and nationwide social upheaval — transforming the landscape of a small Maine city.

I write Hard Telling Not Knowing, a weekly column about Maine history and culture, published each Tuesday in the Bangor Daily News. I also co-write a weekly newsletter, The B-Side, about news, events and life in the greater Bangor area, which goes out every Friday morning, and BDN Back Then, a weekly deep dive into Maine history through the pages of the BDN archive.
