LEWISTON, Me. — A couple of times each month, with the rate accelerating during summer, a car will pull into the parking lot of a small, quaint multipurpose arena on Birch Street in this once-thriving mill city along the banks of the Androscoggin River.
Mike Cain, who manages the building for his father’s company, will notice the visitors from his office as they look up uncertainly at the property’s most modern feature, a two-tone gray brick facade built a decade ago, with their cameras or smartphones poised.
If he is not too busy, Cain will go outside, say hello.
