It is the city that inspired the fictional town of Derry, Maine, where a possessed Paul Bunyan comes to life and attacks Richie Tozier. It is the place where Stan Uris encounters something so terrifyingly horrible at the local standpipe that he would rather die than come face-to-face with it again. And of course, it is the place where Georgie Denbrough chases his paper boat into a storm drain and succumbs to Pennywise the clown.

Stephen King was already a well-established writer when he and his wife, Tabitha, moved to Bangor in 1980.

Hydrant parties have been seen throughout South Dakota as a great way to connect with the community. When Lindsey Myers, Rapid City, S.D., Parks and Recreation specialist, was looking for new events that had never been done or had not been done in a while, she began looking at other local parks and recreation departments. She saw the success Sioux Falls had with hydrant parties and decided to pursue the idea for Rapid City, teaming up with other local departments to put a smile on children’s faces and give families some free family fun.

Hydrant parties have become a popular way to connect with the community throughout South Dakota.

Des Moines, Iowa’s, mobile recreational vehicle may not be an ice cream truck, but it has the same Pied Piper appeal. When the Park-N-Play van pulls up to a park or a schoolyard, families know that a good time will follow.

The Park-N-Play program may be kid-centered, but the whole family is invited to take part in the games and activities.

Residents of Charlottesville, Va., are able to take advantage of a free mulch program offered by the Rivanna Solid Waste Authority. The program started as a way for residents to reuse the tons of vegetation collected each year, which benefited residents and the Solid Waste Authority by diverting organic waste from the landfill and then turning it into something useful.

Rivanna Solid Waste Authority likes to make sure there is plenty of free mulch available for the busy spring and summer seasons.

Curiosity about fire is a natural part of childhood, but when that curiosity leads to fire setting behavior, it becomes a serious concern. Unfortunately, children under 18 account for nearly 50% of all arson arrests in the United States, which is why most larger fire departments have adopted programming and have specially trained personnel who can intervene before it’s too late.

Boise began its Youth Firesetting Intervention Program shortly after the North Ada County Fire and Rescue fire marshal learned about it.

Across Texas, water scarcity is no longer a distant environmental concern. It’s now a reality already reshaping how communities live, plan and survive. In 2025, Texan cities like Beeville and San Marcos are navigating distinct, but connected, water challenges, ranging from drought-driven infrastructure failures to long-term population pressures. Both municipalities are taking urgent steps to address the present crisis while preparing for an increasingly dry future.

Across Texas, water scarcity is no longer a distant environmental concern. It’s now a reality reshaping how communities thrive.
