Nearby: Rockland, MEROCKLAND — The owner of the High Tide restaurant in Rockland has submitted plans to convert the Heritage Office Building into apartments. Thomas Shanos, through Penobscot Rentals, LLC, submitted the application Nov. 12 with the Rockland code enforcement office for the Heritage project at 30 School St. Shanos purchased at an auction in October 2020 the restaurant at 275 Main St. that he opened in 2023 as High Tide. Penobscot Rentals purchased the Heritage building in December 2025 for $800,000. The proposal calls for creating 14 one-bedroom apartments that will be between 400 and 570 square feet. The name of the development will be School Street Apartments. The project is scheduled to be completed by October 2029, according to the application. Shanos said the current commercial tenants in the building have leases and he has given them enough time to find other commercial spaces before the project is underway.

Isla Rocca / Maine Campus There’s no room for Flock cameras in Vacationland By Joseph Greene on November 9, 2026 OPINION: Automated license plate readers (ALPRs), more commonly referred to as Flock cameras, have been making headlines for months now. While many claim they are a necessity and the next step toward protecting public safety, a fair share of people see them as a threat to privacy and a product of government surveillance. As it stands right now, there are currently an estimated 102 operational Flock cameras in the state of Maine. While this would rank Maine 47th out of 52 U.S. states and territories in terms of Flock camera surveillance, the state has certainly experienced its share of issues with the product.

Nearby: Bar Harbor, MEStephen Coston's path to Innkeeper of the Year began in a motel basement, with a stack of CDs and a job many people outside the industry don’t think about. BAR HARBOR — Before Stephen Coston was named Innkeeper of the Year, before the 13 properties and the renovations and the business accolades, before the recognition that comes with building something that lasts, there were a whole lot of cigarette butts. He wasn’t smoking them. The cigarette butts were a staple when Coston was a kid working at the Villager Motel on Main Street. His first work assignment was picking up what guests had left behind and a lot of what they left behind were cigarette butts. After that came the work of folding towels, cleaning rooms, scrubbing the swimming pool and, for years, washing laundry in a basement. There was a boombox down there in the Villager’s basement and a stack of CDs. Coston spent much of the money he earned doing laundry buying more of those CDs. They were rap albums, almost exclusively.

BAR HARBOR—Veterans Day in Bar Harbor was marked not only by wreaths, prayers, and moments of silence, but also by shared stories, familiar faces, and the quiet connections that keep the memories of those who served alive. In a room filled with photographs, artifacts, and the memories of generations of service members, an empty chair offered a quiet reminder of those who could no longer be present as Bar Harbor gathered to honor its veterans, November 11. Bits of the veterans’ stories are on the walls of George Edwin Kirk Post 25 of the American Legion on Cottage Street. Sepia-toned photos of men poised in uniforms look back at you as you walk by. Buttons, artifacts, memories are carefully displayed.
