Yes. And as a Belknap College student, I had to hitchhike into Meredith to do my laundry like all the other students did.

Rt25 does not go to Holderness. I suspect you meant Rt3?

Actually, Route 25 is concurrent with Route 3 from Meredith to Plymouth. Route 25 goes all the way across NH from Vermont to Maine, concurrent with other roads at some points.

This right here is exactly the problem with small town NH. Other peoples opinions on the looks of the new owners property. How about letting the new owner decide?

What is the curb appeal of a parking lot? And now some want that parking lot to have beautiful landscaping? Maybe the taxpayers should drop $100K specific for that purpose, I bet no one would care if that were the case.

And a lot of the COE girls use to work at Hart's restaurant!
While at BC I had a car and worked at Star Market in Gilford.

I worked at the Hi There Cafe and the Beef and Bay in Moultonborough. There were a lot of college girls that worked there as well. Anyone remember those two places?

The land was cleared to stimulate conversation on the Winnipesaukee forum about what it could be used for.

Here's what they are talking about doing in Meredith.

New Meredith construction

When you go to the article the initial picture shows the construction equipment clearing the corner. Go to the second picture to see what is planned.

I'd say that's a slight improvement no matter what they put in there.

I remember the Cafe'. I also remember visiting classmates that use to live in the cottages where Bobhouse is. I also remember attending a party in the Carriage House at Kona Farm. Joe Droukas was playing! Those were fun times!
