Belfast, Maine, named after the larger city of Belfast in Ireland, is a pretty small city on the edge of Penobscot Bay. This Lucky 7 highlights a few things that are in the center, within easy walk from one another.

2 (Buildings) - Former Masonic Temple - Belfast, ME - WMQ0EW - (

3 (Business) - Traci's Diner - Belfast, ME - WMQ10B - (

4 (Culture) - Relax to the Beat of a Different Drummer - Belfast, ME - WMQ17C - There were many artistic benches in the center. This one looks like a guitar and drums. They didn't look like they were playable though.

10 (Oddities) - OLDEST - Shoe Store in America - Belfast, ME - WMQ1J8 - (
