Here’s the quiz: “So, do you know Lewiston?”
And here are the answers –
1. Main Street, Sabattus Street and Lisbon Street, are all over 4.5 miles long, but Sabattus is the longest at 5.5 miles.)
2. The roof of the house on Russell Street between Sabattus and East Ave is entirely painted as a section of the American flag.
3. Lewiston’s highest point is Thorncrag at 510 feet and can only be reached by foot. Sections of three streets in Lewiston top 400 feet, East Avenue, Ferry Road and Old Greene Road, but Old Green Road is the only street over 420 feet above sea level.
4. Ashmount, Fairmount, Grovemount, Hillmount, Rosemount and Treemount.
5. Every street in Lewiston is over 100 feet above sea level, but the lowest point has to be on a section of River Road that is just a few feet above the Androscoggin River.
6. Pine Street and Ash Street are Lewiston’s longest one-way streets, with Pine the longest at 1 mile.
7. 16 streets leave Lewiston. Sleeper Road, however, soon dead-ends in Greene and Jordan becomes Town Farm in Lisbon, which quickly ends at a private residence.
8. Chadbourne Road, off outer Sabattus Street.
9. Switzerland Road, off outer Main Street, runs 1.3 miles parallel to the Androscoggin River and terminates at Florida Power and Light.
10: No Name Pond Road goes right by the public beach at the north end of No Name Pond. Parking is limited to three or four cars, however.
11. I came up with a minimum of two traffic lights using public streets in Lewiston, and one light if one uses a short private road.
