Can we help the tourists enjoy Maine even more this summer? Would all the wonderful businesses along our major avenues in this great city of Bangor, on Broadway, State, Hammond and other avenues please display large pots of colorful flowers for the tourists to see as they drive through the city?

In Albany, New York right now between 5,000 and 10,000 tulips are in bloom because of careful planning. They have a Dutch heritage and that city looks great. However, our city of Bangor and other major cities in Maine could look even better. The Lord blessed us with colorful flowers, so maybe we could identify Bangor with them this summer.
