My first…read moreservice here was for 2 pairs of jeans that were 12$ each to get hemmed, the lowest price for hemming I've encountered in years. I came back with a dress, and Judy ended up being my personal stylist! She helped me realize it couldn't be altered without changing the style of the dress, and brought up that I could get a really gorgeous shirt out of it. I said yes and then she mused that she might be able to make me a skirt of the bottom, and still charged me the $20 she quoted earlier. I've been recommending her all over.she also gets your stuff done in less than a week, even though she's busy. There's always someone there before or after me.

It's located on the Androscoggin River and does indeed have some pleasant water views. Most of the gravestones are simple but there are some modest obelisks scattered around. For some odd reason the village schoolhouse was actually located within the boundaries of the graveyard and wasn't moved to another location until 1904. The land where the schoolhouse once stood were then sold off as gravesites. There are no more open sites for sale in the cemetery but there is a lovely, marble columbarium that has small spaces for urns that can be purchased. RIverview Cemetery is beautiful, peaceful and unique old graveyard. After all, how many people can say they went to school in a cemetery.
