Anyone remember Jesse Allens barbershop in Meredith
 

Jesse Allens barbershop in Meredith? I remember going for my first store bought haircut as a tiny kid, I was holding on to the door handle of the car for dear life, screaming while my Dad had me by the feet and I was suspended in the air between the car door and my Dad ! he was a real 'old time yankee' & he'd always give you a candy bar when you were finished.

I definitely remember Mr. Allen's barber shop! Our family was very good friends with the other "Mr. Allen" - Jesse's brother Bryce, who lived up the street on Lake Waukewan. You're absolutely right - the whole family (Jesse, Bryce and their sister June) were "old time yankees". I think I remember hearing a story that Bryce had only left the state of New Hampshire once in his entire life (a vacation trip to Maine) and never ventured further south than Concord.

Jesse was definitely the more "refined" of the brothers.

No I never was in Jesse Allens, but I do remember Carl's in Wolfeboro.

Jesse Allens barbershop was there as long as I can remember. He would decorate his front window every St.Patricks Day for my Grandfather!
