This photo depicts Concord when it was originally constructed using only those tiny Monopoly houses as models for buildings. It’s actually a shot of the Abbot and Downing grounds, circa 1920. Thanks to reader Earl Burroughs for the photo and to Monopoly for that awesome dude with the cane and sweet, sweet mustache.

Megan Marshall / Insider internOur hard-working summer intern Megan Marshall spent a day last week driving all over the city in search of local summer camp fun. She started the day off with campers at Concord Parks and Rec, ranging from first to eighth grade. Then she ventured over to the Kimball-Jenkins School of Art for costume making festivities, and capped off her day at N.H. Audubon for Worm Wednesday, where she unfortunately saw no worms. Facing page, top left: Campers at the N.H. Audubon summer camp enjoyed a little free time sprinkler cool down last week, and as you can see do did the counselors considering everyone was soaked head to toe when all was said and done. Top right: Playing dodgeball sure can be tiring. Looks like one parks and rec camper had a little too much fun. Bottom left: Portor Jones, from left, Nathan Morse and Arden Silva-Bardooy escape the hot sun by making some silly faces and building some sort of contraption out of orange safety cones and sticks. This page, top left: Kelsie Ward adds a few black dots to what is an otherwise very colorful painting in one of the Kimball-Jenkins art studios. Right: Cate Pittelli and Harley Dyer use spray paint to add some color to their cosplay costumes, made from materials they found around the art school. Bottom left: Music and barnyard animal masks made for one great circle time during the parks and rec kids camp.

CourtesyThe New Hampshire Friendship Chorus enjoyed choral exchanges in Havana, Cienfuegos, Matanzas and Varadero, Cuba during June and July and brought the Market Days issue of the “Insider” along. Maybe next time the chorus travels to an exotic destination like Cuba, they can leave the paper at home and bring us instead – although we must confess that we’re not very good singers. If you take the “Insider” on vacation with you, take a picture and send it to news@theconcordinsider.com and we’ll put it in an upcoming paper.

Tim Goodwin / Insider staffWhen it comes to photography, some pictures are defined by their color, while others simply require the subtlety of black and white. So when we stopped into the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce last week for an exhibit by Cynthia Irwin and Joanna Novembrino, both members of the N.H. Art Association, we got to see it all. Irwin’s vibrant display can be summed up in it’s title, Colors of Cuba, while Novembrino uses black and white to show off her shots of nature’s design in Form, Shadow, Silence. The show will be up through Aug. 27. Facing page (Irwin), top left: Dance Company Filming TV Promo. Top right: Street Corner Madonna. Bottom right: Evening in Fusterlandia.

We swiped this awesome photo of downtown Concord from Rich Woodfin on Facebook. Discussion in the comment thread seems to date it somewhere in the early 1950s. The celebrated Puritan Restaurant is visible in the background, in the building labeled Concord Commercial College, which is where we assume students went to learn about advertising. The Back to the Futurey vibe of the photo was overwhelming enough we spent 10 minutes searching the background for Marty McFly.

Book of the Week: The Beekeeper’s Apprentice

CourtesyMarket Days is sadly over, but the memories will live on forever – especially for the Market Days Idol contestants, who no doubt enjoyed their time in the spotlight. With this being the first year using fan voting to determine the winner, we wanted to check in and see how it all played out. The first place winner was Katie Spooner, who took home a nice $1,000 cash prize. Second place was a tie between Stephanie Nichols and Ian Pahl, who split a $500 prize between them. And since the talent level was so good this year, Tandy’s owner Brian Stephens decided to add a third-place prize for David Therrien, who walked out of there with a cool $100. The results were based on the most cumulative votes over the whole weekend, so these singers must have been pretty consistently good. Nice work, everybody!
