When ships are launched from BIW, they travel the Kennebec past Popham Beach before heading into the Atlantic. The Kennebec and Androscoggin do merge in Merrymeeting Bay in Brunswick.

A couple of little comments:<br /><br />Bath is on the Kennebec River, not the Androscoggin. (But, as you know, Durham and Lisbon Falls are on the Androscoggin.)<br /><br />The Worumbo mill was just knocked down this summer, after being empty for many years.<br /><br />This year, Frank Anicetti also retired and closed his store.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28690185.post-41113580836156551302016-10-02T17:04:15.228-07:002016-10-02T17:04:15.228-07:00My husband and my mother in law happen to be the o...My husband and my mother in law happen to be the ones who helped Stephen King after he was hit by the van in Lovell Maine on June 19 1999.He was very grateful and thanked them for there help, he even met up with them on his birthday to thank them personally.

As a random sidenote, I recently learned that Lewis's birth surname wasn't Kingsbury. It was Fevreau. I'm sure there's a story in that name change, but unfortunately I don't know it...Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02536096683421557320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28690185.post-49996611837869039982015-01-06T14:52:01.858-08:002015-01-06T14:52:01.858-08:00Hi TD - I'll defer to your expertise, since yo...Hi TD - I'll defer to your expertise, since you were there! The detail about the "converted hearse" came from George Beahm's book STEPHEN KING FROM A TO Z, which also says that the taxi was an "old limousine" belonging to Mike's Taxi of Lisbon.

Dr. Mike's at the time was a separate building (and wasn't called Dr. Mikes). However, the restaurant that was there started making breakfast at about 4 am which, when you're a starving teenager with the apartment windows open, isn't a good thing.<br /><br />Also, Deep Cut is in Brunswick. It refers to a railroad cut along Route 1. There is a bridge over Deep Cut. On the other side is a boulder that has been painted like a frog since long before my family moved to Maine in the 70s. I verified that it was still there two years ago.<br /><br />Deep Cut: http://goo.gl/maps/7yz2z<br />Jeffnoreply@blogger.com
