Some people are discussing the Gilford/Laconia town line area on Rt 3. The Big Banana I remember, but what was the ice cream store to the left of the building? I remember McIntyre Circle as it was called back then in the late 60's early70's( and I think into the early 80's?) I remember if you wanted soft serve icecream, it was DQ on the Ave, but if you wanted hard ice cream with more flavors in the sugar cone you had to go to McIntyre Circle. Also, if you kept on the road headed toward home, Meredith, there was a KFC almost across the street from the Margate. AND if Dad didn't stop for ice cream at DQ or the circle, we would cross our fingers and hope for the Tamarack with all of their flavors. Sometimes we would get our icecream there and Mom would shop in BasketWorld while we sat in the car savoring every lick. To be so young and innocent again. Thanks to whoever started this thread!
