It's that special time of year isn't it? And while it has been a long, bumpy ride, I think we've learned a lot about each other. That is how we'll get through this: together.
I am speaking, of course, about the construction along Route 27 near Rome. They're reclaiming asphalt or something. Avoid it if you can; don't honk at me if you can't.
In either case, I hope you have a safe and happy Fourth of July. Assuming thunderstorms didn't interfere with the fireworks, the weather this weekend looks perfect to enjoy some music, a fun run and maybe a parade.
Also: The Maine Monitor will be hosting a listening tour this summer and the first stop is in Norway. What do Mainers need from news reporting? What are you getting from local news reporting? How does The Maine Monitor fit into your news consumption? How do you want to get news delivered to you?
Join The Monitor for refreshments, conversation and community:
Cafe Nomad, 450 Main St, Norway
