Ebook "The Little City in Itself": Middle-Class Aspirations In Bangor, Maine, 1880-1920
Bangor's "Little City" is an eight-block area of former farmland laid out on a grid surrounding an active city park. It is a quiet neighborhood of tree-lined streets, tucked between the hustle and bustle of Center Street on the east, a busy thoroughfare dominated by a private Catholic hospital, and Kenduskeag Avenue on the west, a major route leading from outlying towns to downtown Bangor. Little City is filled with two- and two-and-a-half story single-family houses on small lots from the turn of the twentieth century. The area maintains a sense of secluded leisure, imparted by families gathering in the park and children riding their bicycles in the streets. Real estate agents currently instruct home-buyers that the neighborhood is one of the choice locations in Bangor (figure 1).
