Rockland cafe OK’d to use veterans park
The Brass Compass Cafe in Rockland has received unanimous approval from the city council to use a part of a veterans park for outdoor seating during the summer.
The Bangor Daily News reported that the cafe’s proposal to use a 10-foot-wide strip of the Winslow-Holbrook Memorial Park received opposition from community members who are related to one of the park’s namesakes, Lt. Albert Holbrook.
One of the councilors, Vallie Geiger, defended the council’s decision by saying that it was not disrespectful to the military and that she lost her father while he was serving in the U.S. Navy.
