This park is great In that it also is next door to the Brewer municipal pool. Very clean and well maintained. The reason for the 4 star review instead of a 5 star review is the fact that there is not a decent sized grassy area for the Kansas did to entertain themselves with a ball or something. I could've said well the pool is enough to make this 5 star, but a park/playground should always have a grassy area imho. This is however just about the perfect park in the area regardless of the rating I gave it.

I was in this school about a month ago looking to join a martial arts school. My first impressions…read morewere awful! For starters the school is a barn! The instructor that night was giving an off putting speech to the children maybe twenty minutes before I started what was my first and would be my last class. He by title was a Sempai and basically was demanding in a rant respect from these kids far exceeding what one might expect, not that the kids were being off putting or wrong in any way he just simply was using this school for little man syndrome and what came across as him using this school as a platform for his personal empowerment. There was no self defense training whatsoever and between both the youth and adult classes way too much emphasis on traditions such as trivial history, Japanese words or commands, and bowing! This guy literally had a couple of small boys knife fighting each other! OMG! Absolute nonsense, could not get out of this joke of a school fast enough! We did more literally nothing to learn and develop technique but they had the time for my money spent to run me through my first Kata. Karate Kata is more a tradition than actual development of technique! I say run for the hills, stay away from this Mickey Mouse Karate club as it's clearly for people fantasizing, maybe sport, but definitely not quality self defense! This school also had way too many Karate weapons, I was truly weirded out! I understand that they have some in general and that's okay but the amount was absolutely just giving me that weird vibe I would think most anybody would get that this school is a complete joke! I am telling you that you will not learn to defend yourself here in this school! You can know there are way better options available and if you give it the basic effort to look you will find it!

Evolve Fitness located in Banger Maine is a gym that was previously Gold's Gym. The gym has…read moreliterally everything you need for a good workout. There is free parking at the gym. The gym was a very nice gym. It wasn't too crowded and had a lot machines to workout on. You have your cardio machines and free weights and much more. If you staying at the hotel next door. I highly recommend coming here because the hotel gym isn't the best. If you want a good workout then come to this gym. The staff were really nice and loved how they make shakes at the shake bar they have. Each staff member had a smile and looked like they wanted to be there. At the shake bar, You can get a shake for only 8 bucks I believe. It wasn't expensive at all. The place is cleanish if that makes sense. It's a gym so it's hard to fully clean the gym. The lockerroom and bathroom was very clean. I felt really safe at the gym and comfortable. It was really nice to have an atmosphere like that while you are working out. All equipment was very well kept up in maintenance and didn't feel old and run down like some gyms are. I was really happy about that. Overall, I give them a 4.4 out of 5 because there isn't really any accessories in the gym like hot tube etc but highly recommend them to have a good workout.

I have the PF black card and have been to most of the gyms in Maine & elsewhere. The good; The…read moreBangor PF has plenty of machines for anything you want. The not so good; this place is really filthy. Bales of dust & hair are everywhere underneath dumbell racks, around the bases of machines and on the bottom of lockers. Kind of gross. Each day around 3 the sun hits the nearby bank skylights and sends a retina-searing, lincoln arc welder-like white light into the space. Really difficult to see with the blinding solar glare - but what you do see is every spec of dust/hair/detrius on the floor, on machines, etc.. I realize he light thing is not their fault but maybe get some glare screens for the windows? Lastly, it's cramped - tons of machines but not a lot of space around them to work out comfortably, you are really on top of each other. The gym has great potential though & I hope that they improve!

An amazing summer evening for a concert at the waterfront pavilion aka Maine Saving amphitheater…read more We were invited guest to the concert with glam rockers Vince Neil, lead singer of Ray, and the always amazing Brett Michaels. Parking was every where but our host is a season pass holder and drove to the VIP parking lot behind the venue. A short walk up a gentle incline and we were at the gates. The pavilion's web site gives clear instructions on what is and is not allowed. They checked my small bag and off we went. Tickets read the doors open at 6:30p but due to some heavy partying one band had not even done their sound check yet. They opens the gates 15 minutes later. We made our way to the way back of the theatre where the VIP section was. Showed our tickets got a bracelet and off to the VIP area where they have two full bars, 3 small fire pits with ample chairs and on the upper level couches and tables as well as bar stools to enjoy your beverage. We got our drinks and off we went to our seats. We were seated behind the orchestra section with the whole box to ourselves. We sat down for maybe 10 minutes and the show started. Ratt was OK but slow, they must have been the ones hung over, they sounds sluggish. Only knew one song they sang so glad they were not the head liner. A break for bathrooms and more beverages with some free popcorn. Then Vince Neil came on. He was good. Danced to a few of his songs from Motley Crew. The lighting and effects were great, really energized the crowd. Another intermission found it my turn for drinks. Two beers, a small box of wine, and a THC drink to the total of $58! WOW! $72 with tip ouch! The headliner was Brett Michaels. He was AMAZING! Energetic, talking to the crowd, and singing clear and strong bravo! Over all a great experience and will return when able

Our group of 7 attended one of the clubs lesson weekends. It was 100% great fun and something…read moreeveryone should try. The club is very nice inside with seats for watching the games, a nice kitchen, a room with lots of tables, and a full bar; in addition to the curling ice. The club has everything organized quite well. They have grips to put on your shoes for walking on the ice, they give a nice safety talk, then they assign everyone to an instructor and off you go. The instructors then go through all the steps of launching the stone, and you get to try each step a couple of times as they build up the steps until you can do the entire process. It is quite challenging and very funny as people realize that the people in the Olympics make it look a lot easier than it really is. They also teach everyone to sweep, which is also much harder than it looks just keeping up with the stone! Finally the teams get to play a couple of games and learn to keep score (also not as easy as you would think). The staff is incredibly nice, and I enjoyed learning about the dynamics of how the stones and ice work and are maintained. After everyone has gotten their fill, the winners buy the losers a beer; did I mention that full bar! Do it, you will enjoy it.
