Next stop is Bangor, Maine, home to the real King, Stephen, that is! This is his actual house, and it's immense. I suspect he might actually write somewhere in the rear of the property, long out of public view. Never mind, what a gate!
Our first stop is actually Betts Book Store, specializing in Stephen King Books, where I am fortunate to meet the owner, Stu Tinker and his cute dog, Sammy.
Our visit was prompted by an ardent fan, Granddaughter Hailey, who has a 15th birthday coming up, and I could think of no better gift. Our visit was rewarded with books, a t-shirt, and directions to the King house, only a few blocks away - sweet!
The next two pictures show the fabulous gate to the King home, and another picture of the house.
Now it's time for a late lunch. Stu suggests we give the Sea Dog Brewing Co. a try, and we're glad we did. The food, atmosphere, and brew is good, and it's along the Penobscot River. What's not to like?
