If you find yourself in Lewiston, Maine and are a fan of architecture (regardless of your faith preference), I highly recommend that you stop by this iconic landmark. The Basilica is not only on the national register of historic places, but is also the second largest church in all of New England. The church was built in the late 19th/early 20th century by the thousands of French Canadian (Catholic) immigrants that flooded into the area to work in the mills for a chance at a better life.

The newest coolest spot to get a brew and some grub.. hit this place after mt. biking Mt. Apetite trails. found their Happy Hour specials from 3-6 to be perfect for my wallet and pallet. Love the decour and rustic feel to the authentic Bates Mill setting. The huge wooden bar was impressive.. Love the beer they really have evolved as a power house in the micro brew industry.. loved every minute at the PUB..
