My wife was born in Lewiston and lived in Lisbon Falls throughout her childhood. My wife's parents owned and operated the MET Theatre which was on Main street. The time period was the mid-1950's. In fact on January 4, 1951 George Neagle bought sole ownership of the MET from his partner Adam Sichol.
I've been searching for any history and especially any photographs of the MET. If you could point me toward any information about the MET it would be appreciated. I've been in contact with the Lisbon historical society and the Maine historical society.
Nice job on your publication.

Posting my note is a nice idea. Of
course you may post my email address as well. It is fine with me if
readers send any information to you, forward to me, or send directly to
me.
The MET is mentioned many times in Stephen King's book "Cujo". My son found a few articles and some playbill prints but so far we have not found any pictures of Main street which show the MET. So, any information would indeed be very helpful.
BTW: My wife was indeed saddened to learn of the Kitty Korner closing. Her childhood home was very near the Kitty Korner. She would walk from her home to the store quite often. Thanks very much,

How well I remember the Met Theatre. It was located
next to where the optometrist is now. You can still see on the bricks on
the side of Downeast where the building used to be. Went to many
a Saturday cowboy movie there when I was a kid. I have a friend who worked there, selling tickets in
1946/47/48. I just called her and she doesn't have any pictures or
anything. I wonder if Dick Nadeau would have any information? He's lived
here all his life.
Memories.
