Relief Is Only 1.5 Hours Away

From the Associated Press Wire Service:

TOWNSHIP 22 - Relief has arrived for motorists traveling along Route 9 in eastern Maine.

Beginning Friday, drivers will have a pit stop along the hour-and-a-half drive from Calais to Brewer. New year-round public restroom facilities will give drivers a break in Township 22, adjacent to the Airline Snack Bar and Lounge.

There were plenty of snickers and jokes when state Sen. Kevin Raye introduced legislation for the facility.

But he said the lack of public restrooms along the route was no laughing matter and caused a hardship for many Mainers, especially for Washington County residents traveling to Bangor for medical treatments.


I would think the town would want to name their town before they started throwing up pit stops, but maybe that’s just me. Also, did the Airline Snack Bar and Lounge not have public restrooms?

In any case, enjoy Township 22; I look forward to pictures of the ribbon cutting ceremony…
