Read all about it here (http://www.mainevacations.net/vwest.htm). It's plain that whoever designed the site wasn't really up to the job. There's not a single mention of Rave On! (http://stereolaffs.com/vault.php) And how to explain the absence of Claude Y. Velndonom? Pretty bush league, if you ask me. Of course, I'm no one to talk. My strongest connection to western Maine is the "Fryeburg Fair 1995" travel mug from which I drink my coffee every morning. And that was a gift; I didn't actually attend. But I plan to put all this right come July, when I hope to participate in the annual "Eastern Maine Sucks" parade. I've already put in my application to serve as the token "stupid asshole" whose ceremonial pelting with blistering fast balls (hurled by none other than President Baseball) concludes the daylight portion of the event. Sure, it's going to hurt, but I'll wear those bruises with pride.

"...From the hustle and bustle that is Windham, Lewiston and Auburn"
I think I am falling head over heels for Western Maine. Patrick Dempsey is from there!
Also, they have "WhoopPies".
Labadie's Bakery has been in the same location since 1925. Back when this area of Maine was booming with shoe manufacturers, and textile mills. Lincoln Street, where the bakery is located, is part of what the locals call "little Canada". This area had many jobs and thousands of French Canadians came south to work and prosper. Because of language barriers, many of them moved in with family and eventually formed the small French speaking community within Lewiston.
Over the years Labadie's Bakery has grown and become a 24 hour operation. We now supply fresh baked pastry to most retail outlets, vending services, and Independent Grocers. People from Canada to Florida have enjoyed the delicious taste of our fresh baked pastries.
We are now expanding our horizons and offering them on the Internet. Individually wrapped and shipped Priority U. S. Mail so that you can enjoy them quickly.
Thank You for visiting our website and enjoy!
