New Park Alley murals:
The Lewiston Public Art Committee commissioned local artists to add their personal touches to the alley behind 140 Lisbon Street, accessible off Ash Street. Many thanks to property owner Richard Avery for his support.

Kris Lachapelle painted this mural. He is a Lewiston native who is challenged daily by anxiety and mild depression; he uses many forms of art and creation to help him cope. Songwriting, playing guitar, writing short stories, and drawing are some of his outlets.

Music is his greatest passion, and he feels most comfortable writing songs to tell his story.

Kris is a champion supporter of the arts scene in Lewiston/Auburn. Watching the dreams of other creative spirits become reality not only fuels his fire, but sharing it all helps build the community he loves.

Art Walk season 2026 kicks off in downtown Lewiston on May 29. Cara Courchesne will be featured at Quiet City Books with a series called What Kind of Mother?

Cara's words: "In August 2025, I walked into my daughter's school and came face to face with a man who sexually harassed me 20 years earlier. I learned via a simple Google search that he had just left another Maine school district amid similar allegations. He was the counselor for grades 4-6 at my fourth grade daughter's school... [This series] asks viewers to look at what our institutions continue to look away from."

Peachy Palmers are the perfect summer drink! But this strawberry shaken espresso looks divine.

Also, an important PSA: the baked goods are all delicious and amazing. Blue Jay muffins are my favorite muffins (all the berries!), and the peanut butter cookie I had recently has not left my mind. :)

back at it tomorrow at 7 am! restocking the pastry case and shakin’ espressos all day long! πŸ“πŸ“πŸ“
