Hi Pepper........ I have to say I agree with you, it was definitely good business sense. I never had the pleasure of dining there but I remember when it was Oliver's, and even then it seemed to me the restaurant building itself was getting "lost" amongst the retail stores. To me, people seem to go to that area for the shopping "experience" and are not really there for a dining experience other than one of the fast food places to re-fuel for more shopping and grabbing the bargains. Unfortunately, the region is changing as you said, along with North Conway and other areas which used to have their own charm -- let's hope Meredith doesn't head down that route, or the Lincoln area, or any of the others which still remain relatively pristine!

I feel that it is too late and Meredith is already gone! To bad it may only have McD's but way to much growth!

Guess I didn't make it up there in time to enjoy one last wonderful meal.
I hope the cook who came up with all those great specials finds a great employer...and I hear about it when s/he does! |

It is too late. Meredith is definately going the way of Tilton. As long as people think it is ok and necessary for places like Walmart and Home Depot and Staples and all the other huge chain stores to mark their territory every 20 miles, then it will always be too late. We live in a world where it is more important to be able to get a super-sized biggie french fry within five minutes of walking out the door, than it is to realize that we live in one of the most beautiful places in the country. At least we used to. So long, Kaliope's.

The former Calliope's/Oliver's Restaurant has been leveled and removed, just an open corner for now...waiting for the Walgreens.
