DEAR SUN SPOTS: I’m hoping you can tell me what happened to the restaurant Little Dan’s BBQ, which was on Main Street in Lewiston across the street from Marden’s.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I hope you or your readers can help us. We are having a big problem with pigeons on our roof — as many as 20 or 30 at a time. Their droppings fall on our walkway and driveway. It’s very messy and dirty. We’ve always had a few but not like this […]

When Lewiston Public Works repairs a manhole, they cut out a trench surrounding the cover and then just leave it for days or weeks, placing traffic cones and traffic signs up. This can be a huge inconvenience and a safety hazard. It makes getting in […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: My granddaughter, Avery, just turned 1. I made various size adult and kid T-shirts for people who came to her party. Most adults didn’t take theirs home.
