Believe it or not.........
our extended family had a house at the top of the hill since 1910 and a lot of us have been going to the Wise Owl since it opened....
I have fond summer memories of walking down and back with my siblings to the Wise Owl..........
had to get our daily fix of soda pop, candy, ice cream, donuts, baseball cards, etc in the 60's and 70's........
Grandpa had a daily ritual of driving to the Wise Owl every summer morning and getting the newspaper and his White Owl Cigars.......
and then of course us kids as we started getting older.......started driving down to the Wise Owl too
we never went by boat to the Wise Owl even though a lot of our time was spent on boats during the summer.......
and all the times I went to the Wise Owl and looked down to the water.......
I never saw any boats pulling in to the Wise Owl........don't really think it was the thing to do there.......
so it was certainly a pleasure to stop in and see the Wise Owl last week after 30+ years......
the store itself really hasn't changed that much.........
and I didn't see any soda pop for 5 cents or baseball card packs for 5 cents this time.....lol
said Hi to Mike and saw a fantastic looking Lobster Roll for $9.99......
if we hadn't just ate at Pop's in Alton Bay.......
we would certainly given one or two of those Lobster Rolls a shot........
thanks for the memories Mike and wish you and your family much prosperity and happiness for many years to come........
just love seeing the old Wise Nest sign by the road(last attachment)......pretty cool
