And the second question being, over the years you've been here what has transpired that you really dislike about the area?

My family has a long history in the Lakes Region - my dad built a lot of the camps around the Alton Bay area in the 1940's and 1950's. I just felt drawn to the place. (I was brought up in Maine.) I swear that the first time I drove through Alton, a little voice said, "You're gonna live here someday." No kidding. Call me crazy - it was just I *knew* it would happen. Seven years later, after I had married and we were expecting our first son, we found a great little house in our price range - in ALTON.

Can't imagine ever moving.

Dislikes: The rabid soccer moms and Stepford wives - but that's everwhere. Also not crazy about the Pavilion being turned into condos - but maybe that will change for me once the project is finished.


Cool thread - thank you for starting this!
