Safe from Pennywise and the Crimson King by exploring Derry only via Google Maps, I happened upon something strange.

Luckily, life did not imitate art (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Bangor,+ME&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Bangor,+Penobscot,+Maine&t=h&ll=44.79063,-68.779736&spn=0.003601,0.006899&z=17)....

To the north of the image, between Lincoln and Larkin Streets, the satellite camera just happened to catch an aircraft passing over the Civic Center and Auditorium. I zoomed in on it but could find no traces of catfish in the area.

In Insomnia a plane is used to crash into the Bangor Civic Center where a Pro Choice rally is being held.

Wow now that is freaky. Good find. Low flying aircraft too.

Oh man, I sort of knew Derry was sort of loosely based on Bangor, but didn't realise there were so many real connections. If I ever get to the US, it will be one place I have to visit. Not to hassle Stephen King, just to snoop and visit story landmarks. Like the Paul Bunyan status for one...

Sigh I can see myself spending some time on google street view. Good view of the Paul Bunyan status from there.

Is there a thread somewhere here on Stephen King story locations in the real world?
