We suspected that our readers would have lots of opinions about our March 7  article on iconic Bangor restaurants of the past . And boy, were we right. We received more than 50 emails and comments from readers who had strong feelings both positive and negative about restaurants old and new. We love to hear from you, so please keep them coming for future articles about Bangor area history and culture. Several readers thought no list of classic Bangor restaurants was complete without including Benjamin's, the bar and grill on Franklin Street that was a downtown mainstay throughout the 1970s and 1980s.
