A Very Sad Place With A Negative Outlook.
I have never lived anyplace and been as much of an outcast and a social pariah as I have been in Bangor ME. I have lived here for 4yrs. and have been met with contempt at every turn. Nothing I could have done would have won the respect of the people here. Racial and homophobic abuse are daily occurrences; rather I'm walking into the post office, the grocery store or catching a bus. Bullying and intimidation are the most common forms of communication. The majority of adults here do not possess any education beyond 8th or 12th grade, which would explain why most of them have the emotional maturity of prepubescent teenagers. The healthcare system is a disaster in terms of both, access and quality of care. Education is failing (and falling way behind), and retail, which is a dying industry, is the only industry to speak of. With an aggressive property crime rate, thriving drug epidemic, and rising violent crime, and a rapidly emerging homeless population; one would hardly reference Bangor as a city on the move.
