Sarah Smiley joined Downtown on Tuesday afternoon to talk about her upcoming appearance and reading in Bangor of her most recent book. Smiley talked about her connection to Bangor and how she also ended up in the region due to the military obligations of her husband. She also talked about some of the stories in her columns and her books, including one of her sons not being featured in any of her articles for a few years after he pitched a fit being called the “Waffle Flopper”.
