I have not but thank you I really appreciate it. I will definitely search as I want to print out a few good quality photos and display them.

Yeah, gasoline.

What else are you going to clean your paintbrushes with?

Definitely not the 1980's.

I don't know the exact time frame that the Back Bay was filled in but I would guess sometime during the 1940's or 1950's. After that time Government regulations likely would not have ever allowed it to be done......

The shopping center where TD Bank and the basketball and fields etc in back were the town dump. I think they just probably dumped in the water and that started to fill it in and then they covered it when the moved the dump out to 109A. I remember before the shopping centers were there the road was more like a causeway and sometimes it got flooded. I was so young-I wish I could remember more.

I remember a short drive to the dump. Today, I have to plan a trip to the dump on my monthly schedule.

Is the shopping center sinking?

A rounded concrete curb has been installed to keep deep puddles from flooding the packaging store.

As for "causeway", a heavy rain a few years ago had a kayak used to get around the parking lot. That picture made the cover of The Granite State News!

Yes, Z's does become a lake sometimes but I think they might have just done something to try to help that problem.
