I cross the bridge from Auburn to Lewiston. I have been looking for the beautiful gateway to your city.

All I see when I cross the bridge is more ugly buildings. Removing those two businesses only opened up more eyesores than before.

You better start with the following: the back side of Bates Mill, the old Holly and the old Empire theater. Because when I cross over, those stick out like a sore thumb.

I also just love the gateway of sand and rocks. Those buildings looked better than the ones I mentioned that are still standing.

Good job to the city of Lewiston for the beautiful gateway.
