About 18 months is how long construction of the new Hannaford's been underway. It is built on a land fill, created in a large Winnipesaukee feeder wetlands, with 1300 dump trucks of fill in 1971. So, I was told.

Building the foundation under Hannaford's required a large number of aprox 30', hollow steel piling tubes pounded into the ground, and then filled with 'concrete.' Building the foundation took maybe six months. It has no basement. It is basically built on a slab with a sump pump, just like the foundation underneath the new MVSB/Charter Trust building, nearby.

So, who paid for that, Cross Point Management or Hannaford's, and how long is their lease? Could be that their long term lease is in the public records at the Belknap County Registry? ...interesting...

Hey, for 86 cents, the Meredith McDonald's has Paul Newman's yummy 14oz coffee, all day long, but you have to ask for a senior coffee and pass for 55. Be ready to get carded!

Hey, for 'no charge' to customers, E M Heath supermarket in Centre Harbor offers up a choice of six different Green Mountain Coffee Roaster's coffee, in those crumbly styrafoam cups. Excellent free coffee in not-so-nice cups. For a real nice, larger paper cup, it costs 50 cents.

Hey, for 1.99, every day, Heath's has serve yourself, 32oz of their famous home made chili that is the equal to jet rocket fuel. Powers you up, for the winter cold!

Plus, Heath's occaisionally has totally terrific, thick London Broil steaks, for like 2,29/lb. Watch for their second Wednesday of the month, truckload meat sales. Time to fill the freezer, every month of the year except for July and August, Dearie!

Hey, Hannaford's has like 165 stores in New England.

In that plaza building, what for many years were locally owned stores like Ben Franklin, ParaFUNalia, EM Heath Hardware, Brooks Drug (exception), Phu Jee Restaurant and October Farm Market has been replaced by big business....Hannaford's and Rite Aid.

Say, how can one trust a Rite Aid with one's drug prescription when they purposely chose to mispell Right as Rite. Plus, the Rite Aid founding president and brand-name creator, who thought up the name, now resides in a federal prison for security fraud?

On May 27, 2004, Martin Grass, age 50, the son of the founder of the original single, Rite Aid pharmacy (somewhere in Ohio), was sentenced to eight years for falsely reporting inflated values of the company so as to raise its' stock price.

Talk about a 'rite' prescription for Martin!
