If I had to list my favorites:

The 1960's Donut shop in Alton next to the mini golf. BEST donuts ever!

Sawyers, LOVE the burgers, hotdogs, coleslaw, coffee frappes!

B Maes for dinner, always left a smile.

Shibleys Ice Cream, best soft serve.

The old Baileys Restaurant hot fudge sundae, its was very old fashion with "gritty" hot fudge. Always perfect.

Best Holiday meals, Harts its just classic!

Well thats what I think I remember, but then again some of these memories are like 50+ years old and subject to nostalgic errors ;-)

You can still get the original Bailey's hot fudge sauce at Skelley's in Moultonboro. I know they have it at Bailey's Bubble - not sure if you can buy it by the jar there.

I remember the Wagon Wheel. We had a camp on Northeast Pond in Milton and made the trek up to Alton regularly (water ski shows, roller skating, mini golf). Had the camp from the late 50s and we sold it in 2009 and long run. Best summers there. Wish we still had it.

Remember Dell-O's Lodge where JPs is. The adults would hang out there while we played.

So this may be a strange memory, but was there a "Live Bait" shop at the back of this parcel in the 60's ???

Yes, it was a bit further down the street that ran next to the Dell-O-Lodge. The name of it was "Babbs". (not sure of exact spelling).

My Grandfather was a frequent customer and very particular about his night crawlers ;-)

Mom used to have to drive him down from Echo Point, and then we would hit the old donut shop.

Good times ;-)

George Babb's Bait and Tackle. There was another one also, Loon Cove Sport Shop, owned by Mr Ray Witherbee, a fine gentleman.
