Lewiston is a city in Androscoggin County in Maine, and the second-largest city in the state. The population was 36,592 at the 2010 census. It is one of two principal cities of and included within the Lewiston-Auburn, Maine metropolitan New England city and town area and the Lewiston-Auburn, Maine Metropolitan Statistical Area, which as of 2006 census estimates has a combined population of 107,702. It is also part of the extended Portland-Lewiston-South Portland, Maine combined statistical area, which has a combined population 621,219 as of 2006 estimates.
A former mill town, it is located in south-central Maine, at the falls of the Androscoggin River, across from Auburn. Lewiston and Auburn are often considered a single entity and referred to as Lewiston–Auburn, colloquially abbreviated as L-A or L/A. They have a combined population of 59,647 people. Together, Lewiston-Auburn is somewhat smaller than Maine's largest city, Portland (excluding its own suburbs). Lewiston is home to Bates College, the Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, the University of Southern Maine's Lewiston-Auburn College, and two significant regional general hospitals: Central Maine Medical Center and Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center.
Maine (i/ˈmeɪn/; French: État du Maine) is a state in New England, in the United States. Maine is the 39th most extensive and the 42nd most populous of the 50 U.S. states. It is bordered by New Hampshire to the west, the Atlantic Ocean to the east, and the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Quebec to the east and north, respectively. Maine is the northernmost state in the contiguous United States east of the Great Lakes. It is known for its jagged, rocky coastline; low, rolling mountains; heavily forested interior, and picturesque waterways; and also its seafood cuisine, especially lobster and clams. In spite of its maritime position, it has a continental climate even in coastal areas such as its largest city, Portland. The state capital is Augusta with a population of 19,136 (2010), making it the third least-populous state capital (after Montpelier, Vermont and Pierre, South Dakota) in the nation.
For thousands of years, indigenous peoples were the only inhabitants of the territory that is now Maine. At the time of European encounter, several Algonquian-speaking peoples inhabited the area. The first European settlement in Maine was by the French in 1604 on Saint Croix Island, by Pierre Dugua, Sieur de Mons. The first English settlement in Maine, the short-lived Popham Colony, was established by the Plymouth Company in 1607. A number of English settlements were established along the coast of Maine in the 1620s, although the rugged climate, deprivations, and conflict with the local peoples caused many to fail over the years.

Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel is a monthly sports newsmagazine on HBO that debuted on April 2, 1995. The show was "spawned by the fact that sports have changed dramatically, that it's no longer just fun and games, and that what happens off the field, beyond the scores, is worthy of some serious reporting," according to Bryant Gumbel, the host.
Each has four stories, all of which are about society and sports, famous athletes, or problems afflicting sports. The show also has investigative reports, interviews, and interesting stories that don't necessarily occur in the professional leagues. This show goes beyond traditional sports reporting, like box scores and statistics, and presents exclusive stories that other networks don't usually cover.
The show has been honored with 26 Sports Emmy Awards and won a Peabody Award in 2012.
Real Sports was the inspiration for two other HBO shows, On the Record with Bob Costas and Costas Now.
Correspondents include Mary Carillo, Frank Deford, Jon Frankel, Bernard Goldberg, Andrea Kremer, Soledad O'Brien, Carl Quintanilla, David Scott and Bryant Gumbel.

Orion Breen on Time Banking and www.HourExchangePortland.org for the TEDxDirigo Speaker Tryouts at the Lewiston Public Library 6/27/12. Filmed by Patrick Russell of rambleproductions.com 'I am in debt. And that's okay. So are you. We are all born in debt. 9 months in the womb living off our mothers, and that's just the beginning. We are born in need. That is the human condition. We were made to need each other, and fortunately we were also made to fulfill each other. So I joined a bank where I can say "I need you and I am in debt to you" without guilt or shame. It's called Hour Exchange Portland and it is a Time Bank. Hour Exchange is a pay it forward community, you help a neighbor in need and you earn a time credit you can spend having someone else help you. Everyone and their ...
Clyde Walker Pierce, Jr. (1915-2011) - This is an edited segment of an interview that has been set to background images from postcards, illustrations, and a Portland Lewiston Interurban advertisement on white porcelain. Interview is used with permission. The picture-postcard of an interurban in a very rural setting is PLI No. 20, The Maine. The Marty Braun (Peaks Island, ME) illustration of the 1912 Portland Lewiston Interurban No. 14, Narcissus was commissioned by the Seashore Trolley Museum. Colo. Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States, was a passenger on the Narcissus on August 18, 1914 on a trip from Lewiston to Portland. The last image is an illustration that will be used to promote the fundraising event for the Narcissus being hosted at Seashore Trolley Museum on Au...
https://www.facebook.com/pages/84-Court-Pizza-Restaurant/258850064176552 Although Lewiston House of Pizza has earned its place in the proverbial L/A Restaurant Hall of Fame, they have a very worthy rival just over the bridge in Auburn. 84 Court Street has a better pizza, the best in the area in fact. The crust remains crispy, the sauce is pleasantly seasoned and they are generous with high quality cheese and toppings. Although the crust is crispy, it's not so thin that you end up wearing it. There's a just an ever so slightly fluffy inside to it that makes this an all around very satisfying pizza. At $6.25, you can't beat their 1/3 lb loaded burger cooked to order, served with a side of fries. 84 Court Street also offers an extensive menu of sandwiches, wraps, appetizers, salads and g...
