There is a new taxi service in the Shiretown. Barbara Ganem started Shiretown Taxi and it has been slowly building momentum. Ganem, a native of Massachusetts, felt there was a need for her service in the area. “We will pick up [customers] and take them shopping or wherever they need to be,” she said. “We will also pick up prescriptions or whatever someone needs.” The taxi service is located at 42 Court St.,
Houlton and Ganem can be reached by calling 538-8825. At the ribbon cutting are, from left, front, Jane Torres, executive director of the Houlton Chamber of Commerce; Cheryl Lovely, friend and owner of Mini-Music and Tack Shop; Ganem; Josh McLaughlin, president of the Houlton Chamber of Commerce and Jared Casey, Shiretown Taxi driver and owner of his own recording studio at Mini-Music.
