What a very foolish response about foreigners. I recall that was someone from Conn. I was raised here and you my dear also are known as a foreigner so untill you'r a resident you should probally just keep those comments to yourself.

Sawyers would be a perfect spot for Peppers expansion......a ready made addition and they'd run it just as good as ever.Hmmmm

Recently. Cumberland Farms has been running large poltical ads in the Laconia Daily Sun trying to educate Gilford voters as to why they should vote down a Gilford zoning change that will protect the Gilford underground water aquifer from possible gasoline leakage from underground gasoline storage tanks. I do not know all the specifics and ins & outs of this bill and there are plenty. Doesn't it go to a vote on next tuesday March 14 as a question for the Gilford voters? Cumberland Farms has purchased a property close to Kar Kraft, Gilford Well & Gilford Wal-Mart for use as a Cumby store & gasoline. This new Cumby property is directly across from the new and not yet built Hannaford's and Lowe's. Cumberland Farms owns Gulf Gasoline. Apparently, the proposed Gilford water aquifer protection zoning change would put a big STOP to their gasoline plans.

Having once tasted a mouthfull of gasoline while syphening gas out of a Honda 350 motorcycle, about 35 years ago, I well remember that gasoline tastes incredibly TERRIBLE. It is so bad and causes severe and very strong reactions and takes maybe one hour of gargling milk to eliminate the gasoline taste, as I recall.

Maybe, the Sawyer's location is also within the proposed Gilford water aquifer protection area?

Already, there are at least three large gas stations on that busy commercial street, NH Route 11C, the huge Mobil, a Sunoco, and a Getty. How many more gas stations does that area really need, anyway!

Anybody remember that tune from the Wizard of Oz?

There's a place that is just perfect,
A location quite divine,
If I only had the funds ...

FLL - I think you may be precisely on target with your guess that the Sawyers location is also in very close proximity to that Aquifer. I recall (somewhat fuzzily) a bit of buzz over the winter which indicated that property could not be utilized for any fueling.

I also recall reading that the Sawyer family really did not wish to sell unless the buyer intended to continue with current use, and BRAVO to the Sawyers for that!

I would truly hate to see that property change in any way - Sawyers is an institution, and visiting there is a summer ritual for thousands. Besides - their ice cream is divine!
