DEAR SUN SPOTS: My friends at the Odd Fellow Home follow Sun spots and the Looking Back column. The mention of the old sign for the toll bridge between Auburn and Lewiston on April 8 prompts us to wonder if a photo of this exists. It would be interesting to see what a pedestrian paid, […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I am writing to see if any readers would have a calla-lily begonia plant that I could get a cutting from. A calla-lily begonia has variegated green-and-white leaves and dark pink or red flowers. The plant is beautiful. I don’t have a computer, so I don’t have an email address. You can […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: You make our days sunnier! Thank you. Here’s my question: We have driven the turnpike from Gray to Portland and have observed that they are cutting down all the trees along the roadway. It seems eerily coincidental that they are also removing the official signage to attractions along the way. Is this […]

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I would like to buy some dry ice. Any vendors in the area? — Mark Zinninger, [email protected] ANSWER: Sun Spots found four in Maine, but nothing in Lewiston-Auburn.
