I might be crazy but I think NH has plenty of culture.

I remember the Globe and KMart. I even worked at the Big Banana. I do not remember Mammouth Mart.

You got to get with the times, people: it's a new millenium.

Turn it into an Amazon fulfillment center.

I remember back when they were building "The Mart". Waking up listening to LNH (AM, only had AM back then) and hearing some guy operating a backhoe was killed putting the water tower up... Funny how some things stick in your mind.

Was there ever a "Grants" store in the other plaza where the K-Mart was.

We grocery shopped at the Star Market in the shopping plaza located where Hannaford's and Lowe's are now. 🛒

My first job was at the Papa Ginos in that plaza the year the camper came crashing through it. It was crazy.

Right, that was WT Grant and then Kmart. Globe was over where Paugus Bay Plaza is now; Keller's Ice Cream was there too. Globe later moved over where The Mart used to be. Big Banana was at the traffic circle where Shaw's is now

And I can remember when you could not get a cocktail in a restaurant in NH unless it was connected to a hotel with at least 12 rooms. And one of the best hotels in Concord was the Endicott on Main Street.

Maybe it was a hotel with 10 rooms, and your state of mind didn't count right

They should have kept the Banana there instead of putting Shaws in
