This, my dear friends and followers, is Stephen King's house.
He lives in Bangor. His house is on a road full of huge Victorian Era houses. It is a benefit of Bangor's logging past. For the most part, he lives a fairly normal life. People in town just let him live.
Although, I heard him speak at the Bangor Auditorium once. He related the story how a bus full of Canadians were flashing pictures of him taking out his dog. He was amazed at how many pictures were being taken of his dog taking a dump.
Here is the thing. Love him or hate him. Love his work or reject it. Stephen King has been very, very good for Bangor.
He and his wife Tabitha have put their money where their mouths are when it comes to the city. They donated money and did fundraisers (the talk at the Auditorium was one of those) for the Bangor Public Library He donated money to build a ballfield in town. Both projects were successful.
He also owns a radio station in town.
I am sure there are other endevors. Those are just the ones I know offhand.
Let's face it, Bangor has benefitted from having Stephen King reside there.
And you gotta love the detailing on his gate.
Be seeing you.
