Photos: Mural in Lewiston embodies history

Bright colors are included in a mural painted Thursday by Pembroke artist Alison Brynn Ross on the side of She Doesn’t Like Guthrie’s restaurant on Middle Street in Lewiston. The restaurant asked her to include a connection to the historic Portland-Lewiston interurban station, which was located across Middle Street from 1914 to 1933. Ross said the bright colors and Maine wildflowers will “give people something to look forward to in the winter.” Andree Kehn/Sun Journal
