I’d probably avoid renting anywhere in the south end: not inherently awful or dangerous statistically is just the “worst” part of town and it’s kinda gross. Cheap though lol

Oh stay the fuck outta Cancun too, it’s a trashy shit hole of a bar/restaurant trying to act like a nightclub. I got dragged in there three times last year and it almost always ended in having to deal with a belligerently drunk Colby kids that like to pick fights and will loudly exclaim they are Colby students like it makes them immune to the consequences of acting like a dickhead

Agree with this. Used to be the best food in town. Now it’s Rapey. Proper Pig and Opa are awesome to eat at as well. Amici’s is also good. Things to do? There isn’t a ton, but your only an hour from the Coast and an hour from the mountains. So that’s nice.

Had a friend who got roofied at Cancun, def avoid it. South end has a bad rep but really isn’t too bad, though chez paree area can get a bit dicey

It used to be a good spot for food, but I never hung out for bar crowd

Food might be good still; honestly I have no idea.

The bar crowd is ass though, that much I do know lol

I used to eat at Cancun before they changed it to the bar in the middle of the dining room. Went back to visit Waterville last year or so and someone told me they'd been shut temporarily for health code violations. Sad to read about women getting roofied there.

I like Silver Street Tavern and there's a bar in Oakland on the way down Kennedy Memorial Drive on the right hand side, after all the little strip malls and stuff. I forget the name but it's a nice little place. Used to get lobster rolls from the Korner Store in Oakland. The beach at Messalonskee Lake has a nice green space and there is also a nice trail running alongside Messalonskee Stream in Oakland.

I lived off First Rangeway, there are several streets running between that and Cool Street and some have apartments but mostly single family homes. There's also a ballfield nearby so take that into account if it would bother you. But it's close to the Hannaford and all the stuff on KMD, I like J&S Oil for car washes, but KMD can get backed up on nice days by people waiting in line for a wash.

Uncle Dean's is a local health food store past the Hannaford on KMD and down a side road, 104, I think? There's also a sushi place next to the Hannaford that does the flaming stainless steel grill table side chef stuff, but I used to just get sushi in the dining room part. Scallop sashimi and gyoza pretty good.

Silver Street dentist is good.

Library is nice too. Watch out for panhandlers near the Goodwill and that whole sidewalk up and down the strip mall. Especially at night. I've never felt unsafe in Waterville but I'm sure you will be able to tell who's cool or not if you are coming from Bangor.
