Book of the Week: ‘Stalking Ground’

by Jon Bodell December 6, 2016

This is obviously a scene from another, much more sepia era in Concord history, but there’s some pretty cool stuff here at the corner of Pleasant and Main Street. For instance, note the granite crosswalk on a dirt road, the horse watering trough in the middle of the “intersection,” and the handy downtown casket and coffin store, just in case you happened to need to hit that up after leaving J. S. Green’s boots and shoes place (though we can imagine it was pretty tough to fit one of those suckers in a buggy). Not seen: the two frozen yogurt shops that opened up within months of each other right around the corner. Thanks to reader Earl Burroughs for sending in the photo. We want to see your classic Concord photos, too – just dust off the old photo album, get them into the computer and email them to us at news@theconcordinsider.com.

VNA hosting Lights of Life

A few weeks back, we were at McGowan Fine Art chatting it up with Julie Hamel, who handles the gallery’s communications duties, as well as the vice president of fun and obscure facts, and she told us about this beetle, Bert Bartholomew Barrington, she had met on Storrs Street earlier in the day. As it turns out, Barrington is a Concord native and had been helping people parallel park all week until his chimney sweeping business starts up again, which Hamel so quickly pointed out “it is honestly amazing how he stays so clear with such a dirty job, although not as dirty as his cousin’s however, the dung beetle.” Good one, Julie! And while he posed for this photo, Barrington would not reveal his age, only that he was “old enough to run a successful business with a wife and hundreds of thousands of offspring.”

Book of the Week: ‘Killer Look’

For years we’ve been advocating for more trains in the Capitol City. But just like everything else we try to get done around here, our voices have gone unheard. Unfortunately, trains are a thing of the past in these parts, that is unless you consider model trains and in that case, we don’t have enough fingers and toes to count that high. This fine set of tracks, circa 1900, eventually became home to the Capitol Shopping Center on Storrs Street. A big shout out goes to reader Earl Burroughs for this sweet photo and rekindling our initiative for more trains. Thanks Earl!

A personal favorite, this "A Christmas Story" tree comes with the coveted Red Ryder BB gun, the controversial and instantly recognizable leg lamp ("It was a major award!), a bar of (presumably red) old-fashioned soap, some pink bunny slippers and, of course, a DVD of the classic film.
