• 7 Subway Shops in Maine Shut Down After State Revokes Registrations (wjbq.com) — Subway’s Wiscasset shop was abruptly ordered to close after the state revoked its seller registration certificate, leaving employees unpaid and confused. It’s one of seven Maine locations owned by franchisee MTF Subs that shut down without a clear explanation or reopening timeline, as state officials cite confidentiality rules. 
• Wild Conspiracy Theory That Surrounds Old Maine Yankee Power Plant (wcyy.com) — Residents may recognize the Maine Yankee nuclear plant site on Bailey Peninsula in Wiscasset, which closed after only 24 years despite a 40‑year license. The piece revisits its high construction costs, safety concerns, expensive decommissioning, and the lingering nuclear waste now guarded around the clock, while noting the conspiracy theories that have grown since its shutdown.
