I'm trying to figure out why every other city in this state seems to have a respectable fine dining & cocktail bar scene for their size and all Lewiston area seems to get is Baxter brew pub. Couldn't even hold on to Sonder and Dram, not that I would call that a cocktail bar. There's Blue Feather and maybe one other I can't remember.

Is it just a demographics issue? Do we not have enough people with disposable income around here? Or interest?

For example, $200k+ households... Are there any? Or do these people end up moving to Portland/Augusta/Bangor area? I'm sure these types of people live nearby and want to enjoy the finer things every once in awhile without driving an hour.
