Waterville, ME - Hostile Takeover at Hobos Inc.

from Small Town News · host Small Town News

Welcome to Waterville, Maine!  Despite its simple name, it is surrounded by places that Keith can't pronounce.  It is situated on the Kennebec River and was originally settled by the Canibas tribe of the Abenaki people.  It was burned in 1692 during King William's War, and was subsequently abandoned by the tribe.  Waterville was incorporated in 1802.  Early industries included fishing, lumber, agriculture and boat building.  Waterville is also home to Thomas College and Colby College.  Notable resident, Heister Richard Hornberger, Jr, wrote the novel, MASH, under the pseudonym Richard Hooker.  He sold the rights to the film for just a few hundred dollars... yep.  Bad move.  Let's see if we can keep from "pulling a Hornberger" in this latest episode.Small Town News--whose headline is it, anyway? @SmallTownNewsImprov
