Default .... heard about the North Conway Market Basket?

Well, well, well, well, ..... and my, my, my, my, my ....... so, how's about this report in the August 7, Conway Daily Sun .... which reports that


the old 'Tennis Anyone' location, some outdoor tennis courts or something on McMillan Rd in North Conway will soon be serving up a new 69,845 square foot Market Basket store. This location is within one mile of a Hannaford's, Walmart, and Shaw's.

Sound's like it will be good-bye Tennis Anyone, and helloooo Market Basket ..... Conway Daily Sun article with four images, and yes, it will look like a Market Basket. So, what had been some closed and un-used outdoor tennis courts will get constructed into a Market Basket. That's a good bit of a switch! So, how come that don't happen in Gilford or Plymouth, and MB goes up north to North Conway? What has North Conway got?

December 22, 2013; say what, a Market Basket http://www.wearemarketbasket.com/gue...iver-27-years/ is coming to North Conway?

With a store in Tilton, next to Walmart, it looks like Market Basket chose to bypass the talked about Gilford airport strip location, or the talked about Plymouth-Tenney Mt Hgwy spot, and go with that super-duper, retail mecca ....... drum roll here ...... rat-a-tat-tat ...... North Conway, NH.

My guess is it draws shoppers from the nearby Maine towns of Fryeburg, Lovell, Sweden and Bridgton who would not have to drive up and down that miserable Route 16 to get to North Conway.

Here's something that will never happen. If NH Route 49 were extended about seven more miles, going up the existing Livermore Rd, a gated single lane, unpaved Forest Service Rd, through the White Mountain National Forest, to the Kancamangus Hgwy, then getting to North Conway would be much more direct.

Hellooooo Ryan Zinke ..... build a road?

The new North Conway store https.www.shopmarketbasket.com/store-locations will be the northern most location.

Just google 'NH Route 49 map' , go to satellite photos, and take a look-see at what would be a very build-able road to extend Rt 49 up to the Kancamangus Hgwy, and make a much more direct route to the new Market Basket in North Conway. Is this the missing link in the NH HgWy system or what? Is only seven miles, and there's already an old, unpaved Forest Service Rd for most of the distance. Seems like a no-brainer?

..... build a road!!!

North Conway is basically on the other side of the world from Waterville Valley and Plymouth, and it do't have to be like this ..... is time to build a road!
