Time camera?
 

Alright, now I'm convinced. McDude is either from the future or an alien! He has some sort of camera that allows him to photograph scenes from the past at will. He sets the date and he or the camera travels back in time and takes the picture. All he has to do is imagine the location, and poof!, he's got a .jpg of the past. I know it, I know it! I'm calling homeland security tomorrow.:laugh:

You are on to something...I see a Delorean flying off Alton Mt on a regular basis, usually about an hour before McDude posts a new picture.

Well excuse me!
 

I did not get intimate with the critter! The only place to eat near Karl's now has a plane stuck to the roof.

There was another place called the Alberg or something like that now I think it is a ski shop. Its near Gun Stock.

McDude has a photographic memory.... and a USB port in his ear to download the images to his laptop. ;)

OK mcdude, hows about you take your camera back to Karls location during last bike week, when the "ladies" were there.

Come to think of it, I really don't miss Karls all that much now.....:D

Jerry's Shore Diner
 

Hi Dick,

Yes, who could forget Jerry's Shore Diner and Spider. He was amazing with the speed that he demonstrated cooking all the food orders on the grille. That was THE place to go for a late night Hot Dog or Burger. My dad liked the Tripe that they served at the diner. Not too many places have that on the menu. The Diner sat exactly where Burger King sits now on Paugus Bay.

karl's
 

karl's was nothing to write home about the food was meh at best and I went there once back in the late 1990s and I never cared for it and never went back. I did go to Road Kill Cafe a few times in Laconia the food was good but the sound effects and the gimmickery got annoying after a few times

Karl's
 

Back in the late 1950's and 1960's, Karl's was known to the local's as a place where the Touists stopped and ate, primarily due to it's great loaction at the junction of Rtes. 11-B and 3. It was not known for it's cuisine. It was a popular place for the college coeds to work at in the Summer for they got a lot tips there from the touristas.

something new
 

Thats something new I learned because I was not around back then in the 1960's I was born in 1980 so I did not know about that. Thanks for the info Carguy!

karls to crossroads
 

After Karls became Crossroads they did feature a nice prime rib buffet.

Thanks a lot!
 

Sure rub it in, born in 1980. As a coworker used to tell the youngsters "I have socks older than that" ...and further more a METS fan. DO YOU REMEMBER 86?

Karl's..........
 

Well, my German FIL loved the food there, said it was as close as he could get to the food he ate in Germany........ he was by no means a slouch, either gastronomically or in any other matter, but it's all irrelevant anyway, Karl's is long gone and my FIL will be gone three years come this Saturday. RIP, Dad!

Correction.
 

Yes I do remember 1986 and yes the Mets have not won since , I thought last year was the year but oh well lol. I did realize I wrote write wrong it was supposed to be write not right. Also I am not a big fan of German food maybe thats why I did not like it much. We had spaghetti and the sauce was not good it was watery.

Oh no Mr Bill not 1986
 

Aaargh .... 1986 .... World Series .... Red Sox vs Mets .... Bill Buckner ... must drink heavily now ! Aaargh :eek:

Dang it, all those years of my counseling out the window........:emb: :emb:

Half Moon Restaurant & Jeans Cafe
 

I came across this thread and was surprised to see in the list of extinct restaurants no mention of the Half Moon Restaurant. Doesn't anyone remember the Half Moon Restaurant, at the center of Weirs Beach? It existed for almost 50 years, from the mid-30's through the early 80's. Here's a link to the history of the Half Moon, including the restaurant:

Also, does anyone remember Jeans Cafe? It was around for probably 30 years, from the 50's to the early 80's. Later it was Elvios's Pizza, then Mike's NY Pizza. Here is a link to more info about Jean's Cafe:

Hey, Bill Buckner felt horrible about that
 

I heard he tried to commit suicide by jumping in front of a train... but it went through his legs..:laugh::laugh:

The folks at Pasquany Inn will be surprised that they are no longer there. We had a very nice dinner at Christmas time and the last time I drove past it was open.

Another that is gone is the Arlberg. As I recall it was on the road up to Gunstock

The Alberg - For Sale
 

Got a cool $589,900?

Meredith Station
 

Here's a matchbook cover from Meredith Station. When the place existed it was my favorite hangout cause they had really good live bands.

Word has it the train moved into the mountains of Colorado and refuses to be interviewed.....

I remember Elvios's Pizza, but do not remember the cafe` before it. I see some work is/was going on inside the building, hopefully someone re-opens it.

Better late than never!
 

Sorry to dig up this old thread, but I was just crusin' the boards and couldn't help myself... these places seemed to have been left off the list... (this is my first post btw!)

The Hi There! (Moultonboro) (Became the Chowder Barn.)
The Country Fare (Moultonboro) (Where Maurice's was/is?)

The Dragon Villa (Weirs Beach -- where the Smokehouse was.)

The Depot (Meredith) (I believe that's what it was called... it was on the hill near Harts... they used an old rail car as a display... someone was shot there... someone fell down the stairs... they were sued... end of story.)

And... does anyone remember there being an A&W drive-in on route 106 in Belmont???

(Ouch! My head hurts!)

Paras Pizza
 

I guess I should jump in and mention Paras Pizza on Union Ave across from Busy Corner in Laconia. I think they were one of the first pizza only shops in the area. They served only one size pie. 8 inch if remember correctly. The shop was owned by two brothers and they also owned several other shops in NH. One of the brothers would visit each shop on Mondays and make the "secret" sauce for the week. This was in the early 60's. Out of business for years now.

I do miss those pies.

Does anyone remember the fish and chipps shop at the same location prior to the pizza shop? I believe it was owned by St. Pierres

Of course. I remember the Half Moon Restaurant and Jeans Cafe. Also, not mentioned, is the Dragon Villa that was next to the Drive In and JJ Beef Sea where the Weirs Beach Water Slide is now.

Wakitatina
 

Samiam, I'm shocked. I'm guessing maybe 1965? If you remember that, chances are you remember Parisi's are well. Not far from the Wak in Meredith as well...

Do any of you guys remember "The Pirate's Den" in Wolfboro? That was our friday night go by boat place. My parents loved that place and Dot's in the winter.

I remember Parisi's. It was an Italian restaurant. My family use to eat there when I was quite young.
