When I lived on Howard street people would throw their trash on the streets and put food and trash on vehicles. My car was hit in the back while I was parked outside of my apartment, I was inside cooking dinner when a cop knocked on my door. People are loud and rude here. I finally moved to Webster street which is quieter than downtown. The good things about Lewiston would be my nice landlord and my awesome job. I work with individuals with IDD and they are wonderful people. I am earning a degree and cannot wait to move!
I've lived a lot of places. Lewiston is my favorite. I plan to spend the rest of my life here. None of the other reviews mention the lively French Canadian culture, which gives the city its distinctive vibe. Somali immigrants have joined the mix. I get along with them just fine. I wish I'd been born in Lewiston and never left.
Despite it being a little run down, there is a sense of home and community here. There are programs for the less fortunate to have meals daily together. There is a pantry that allows low income women to come and gather food. There is a monthly community bbq held for everyone to enjoy free food together in the center of downtown. Despite so many things that go wrong in this town, everyone knows everyone, we all grew up together. Our parents grew up together. It's almost as though most of the town is your family.
