A Walk Through Augusta, Maine















Augusta, Maine's capital and nerve center. Teeming with state employees from 8 to 5 on weekdays. At 6:00 AM on a Saturday, not so much.















The famous Mid-State College (not to be confused with Max-State College or Average-State College).















The Colonial Theatre, built in 1913. Every 10 years there seems to be a movement to restore and re-open it. Alas, not yet.

It really is sad about the Colonial Theater. One would think that they could make something out of it like Lewiston/Auburn and Portland have with their old theaters. Make then concert halls, and alternative movie locations. Show Warren Miller, Cannes, Sundance. Advertise as a more cost effective (and intimate) venue than the Civic Center.

If I win Powerball, renovating the Colonial is on my short list.
