Seriously, though, Alton could use a drug store. When my son needed asthma medication last summer, I had to schlep into Wolfeboro and wait and wait and wait.

Alton has a full service pharmacy in Hannaford.

One thing Alton does not need, IMHO, is a motorsport racing park.
Does anyone know what the zoning board meeting results were regarding the proposed motorsport park on Rt 28 S?

Serious ? I hadn't heard of that. With Louden not that far away, I'd guess it'll never happen. How about a short track for shifter karts ?

Yeah, unfortunately this was proposed for the Coffin Brook gravel pit site. The zoning board held its second meeting regarding this the other night. Petitions had been signed by local residents in abutting neighborhoods who are against it.
Lets hope you are right and it doesn't go through. Not only would this be a noise pollution issue, sanitation issue

, parking issue, I'm sure I could go on and on.

I agree that a pet sitting service is needed in Alton!

I am sure you would much rather all the kids stay home, play nintendo, get bored dabble with drugs, Right? Seriously, If everyone keeps up with the NIMBY mentality, and keeps fighting to stop motocross tracks, or snowmobile parks and trails, where do you propose kids with an interest in these sports go???

Don't get me started on this one.

WBB,
Trust me,if you knew me you would know that I am the first person who would want kids to be out in the great outdoors and not inside playing nintendo, computers games or chat,etc.

I am not a fan of having a track like this in my backyard...would you honestly want one in your back yard?

In all due respect,I do not put this in the same catagory as snowmobile trails. The noise factors are quite different, with the noise from a motorcross racetrack being a constant. Noise from snowmobile trails is quite transient.
