625 acres for an ice cream shop?
A posting in the "Woodmont files," an anonymous email chain that poses questions about the Woodmont Commons, run by resident Jack Falvey, reads: "One intelligent, nice woman I know said it would be nice to have a place in Londonderry where she could buy an ice cream cone. I think this enormous development would be a tad of an overkill for an occasional ice cream cone."
Geography lesson needed
A toll collector at the Hampton toll on Interstate 95 was shaking his head.
"I don't believe it," he said. "That car had Massachusetts plates and the driver didn't know that Massachusetts is south of New Hampshire."
Metaphorically speaking
The billboard in front of the Water's Edge Salon in Derry reads, "Life is slippery. Here, take my hand."
It most likely had an inspirational intent, but with the recent ice, it could be concrete advice.
Calling all cars
Londonderry police were called to Murray's Auto Recycling on Hall Road for a report of a loud buzzing sound "like an alarm" coming from the junk yard.
The responding officer said it did sound like a car horn coming from within the secured fenced yard and notified owner Ed Dudek, who does not live in town.
Perhaps it was a sound heralding the annual junk yard wars when some Hall Road residents try every year to prevent Dudek from having his license renewed.
Keeping it clean
Gary Hirshberg was on The Exchange show on NH Public Radio last Friday morning to talk about his plans for the future on his last day as "CE-Yo" of Stonyfield Farm.
Callers wanted his opinion of everything organic from food to toilet paper.
"I can tell you, I'm not going to talk about toilet paper on this show," Hirshberg said.
Take a seat
When Derry town councilors host workshops, they sit around a table instead of in their official seats at the front of the meeting room.
When economic development advisor George Kassas came before the council to speak, he wanted to make sure he was in the right spot around the workshop table.
"Sitting there, it looks like I'm on trial here," Kassas noted as he pointed out his previous spot in one of those official councilor seats.
New year, new you
An area fitness facility had some advice for anyone looking to get healthier in 2012, now that the holiday parties and festive snacks are gone for another year.
"Merry Fitness and a Happy New Rear," the sign said.
