PORTLAND — Good things things keep happening for Abbie Jacobson.

Bank of Maine officials, who secured five tickets for Abbie and her family to the sold-out Justin Bieber concert in Boston on Nov. 10, now say they’ve secured a hotel suite for them to spend the night in Boston following the concert.
Renee Smyth, senior vice president at the Bank of Maine, said in an email that the Marriott Residence Inn on Tudor Wharf in Boston donated the suite for the late-night concertgoers.
On Wednesday, Portland Press Herald columnist Bill Nemitz shared Abbie’s story with the world.
The story, carried on the front page, so moved John Everets, chairman of the board and chief executive officer of The Bank of Maine, that he directed his staff to obtain the Bieber tickets for Abbie.
