The stretch of Warder close to New Hampshire got a new look recently, including a better-placed bike lane. They also put up new signs,although one just says “At New Hampshire” even though it’s considerably before New Hampshire.

Very sad for us as we bought this store when our daughter was born and we survived through Covid. My husband Tambe runs the store and is the chef.” (more…)
