Maine: The Way Life Used To Be

Beverly Derosier of Luiggi’s Pizzeria in Lewiston is going to be replacing the circa 1950’s neon signs on her shop and needs to find a new home for them. If you are interested in inquiring about them, please contact her directly by calling 207-576-3084. You can see a picture of the signs here. Also, their food looks very good, and they have been around since 1953!

Another Maine institution! I don’t know how long they’ve been around, but it’s a while.
