....Bangor!

It's Maine's Queen City of the East! A true gem in our woodland crown of amazingness, and according to various sources, supposedly Maine's most dangerous city.

According to a study by the Federal Bureau of Investigation , Bangor ranks among the nation's safest cities.

Scratching your head yet?

We are too. If Maine's most dangerous city is one of America's safest, that says a LOT about this country of ours, and our home state of Maine.

It's pretty well known that Portland, Lewiston, and specifically Bangor have been facing a range of drug-related issues over the last several years. Bangor has even been called the "Bath Salts Capital of America. "

But underneath the two conflicting superlatives, Bangor is one of Maine's coolest cities. (not by temperature, though... that title probably belongs to Fort Kent!)
