What's wrong with it now? Genuinely asking, I did not grow up there.

After Loring Air Force Base was shuttered, the main source of income locally, there was nothing coming in after to replace the facility....

Visited cousins in Caribou in the 50s and 60s. Stationed at Loring from 83 to 85. Saw the location where my cousin's office supply store and building used to be when entering Caribou from Fort Fairfield.

Wow, looks like a thriving metropolis! When I was stationed there 1970-1973 there was very very little. The Rondevou was about it, great pizza burgers!

Yes, I have driven through Maine. Not one Starbucks, but Dunkin Donuts on Every Corner. Their not much for Putting up Fencing either. Beautiful country for Leaf Peeping. You really gotta like Solitude. We went to visit my Daughters In-laws. In the Metropolis of Corinth. Lol.

Why is there no sound. I was born and raised in Caribou, but now live in North Carolina, but I go back every chance I get. When Losing Air Force Base closed we lost a lot of our revenue from the base.

My uncle Warren was the only certified jeweler/watchmaker/clockmaker in the entire state and repaired watches and clocks for 50 years in Caribou. My grandfather George did the same in Ashland for 75 years. Anyone up northern Maine knows who they are. Pelletier’s.

Yeah. You might want to actually stop and maybe focus on the names of the streets, unless your goal was just letting the world know that you drove through a town and have little regard for traffic laws.@@tnlone
