I grew up in Orono myself, and lived in Bangor from middle school on. I managed to move away from Bangor a time or two in the past, once to Biddeford, which I liked for the "grass is greener" change of pace perspective, but I grew to not really care for it. I also moved to MDI for a while on the quieter side of the island, which I absolutely loved. Moving back to Bangor from MDI was horrid. Hopefully the third time is a charm, as we live between Bangor and MDI now, and I'm pretty happy here.
I can't say as I blame you one bit for wanting to rid your memory of everything Bangor. The BPD facebook page is great, but it's about the only thing Bangor has going for it, in my opinion.
