Favorite childhood place
I too joined the Winnipesaukee Forum so that I could respond to this thread! When I was a child in the early 60s, and my family would take Sunday drives out of Wolfeboro, I would BEG my parents to stop at the Hansel and Gretel house. It had a magic that I can still feel, fifty years later...was it the balsam smell? The child-oriented spaces? The gingerbread look of the store from the outside, with its candy cane on the roof and lollipops around the yard? The "fishing" pond? I wish I could go back in time and see it. I'm glad to know that other people remember it fondly as well.
