    this happened at a crowded bowling alley

    Lewiston, about 35 miles north of Portland, emerged as a major center for African immigration into Maine. The Somali population, which numbers in the thousands, has changed the demographics of the once overwhelmingly white mill city into one of the most diverse in northern New England.

    any indication that the crowd was any particular complexion?

      I haven’t read anything about it, so I can’t say for sure, but I work in the Lewiston area and I’ve heard both the bowling alley and bar to be more “local” oriented businesses.

      The Walmart distribution center is a weird one though, because it’s not really a store front.

      Whatever his motivations are, it breaks my heart to see it happen in our neck of the woods.

      White military guy, firearm instructor, buzz cut, wrap around sunglasses. Bet he knew where he was going.

      No. There was a youth league Wednesday, though.
