Moving is a BIG deal. It's stressful yet exciting! You're eager but have trepidation!

  Well if you are reading this Blog chances are you've already decided on New Hampshire and chances are better still that you are looking at Concord!

       PUPPY LOVE 

Puppy Love

  Meet Gretchen Peters-

  Gretchen and her Hot Dog Stand, Puppy Love are a familiar sight around Concord!

 The Peters Family started their business 30 years ago and it's still going strong.

 Puppy Love was named 2004 NH Magazine's Best Hot Dog Stand

While I was talking to Gretchen several people Puppy Lovestopped for a dog. Gretchen knew them all by name.

 Somthing tells me you'd feel right at home at Puppy Love.

The stand is open Monday thru Saturday from 10:30 to 3:00. It's open year round right there on Main Street (in Winter near the taxi stand!)...just look for the Bright Umbrella!

 Be sure to tell Gretchen I sent you!

 

                                                                                                                                          

 

 

                          CITY SERVANT

Paul garland  Meet Paul Garland-

   Paul works for the City of Concord.

 Paul is in charge of maintenance and is responsible for making sure all the meters are working properly.

  Paul is always gracious about answering questions from tourists or giving directions.

  He is a familiar sight around and about downtown and is "Head and Shoulders" above the rest!

 

 

 

  FLORA'S HAIR SALON  Flora's

                                                     

    Meet George Kapos-

George owns and operates Flora's Hair Salon located at 239 Loudon Road on "The Heights"and a second Salon at 108 Fisherville Road.

 George and his mother Flora (yes there really is a Flora) are a well known local business and are very involved in local fundraisers and worthy causes!(They also do a great hair cut!) 

 When not busy running running his business Hummer....George is running the roads and maybe even a little "off road". He can easily be spotted in his very identifiable vehicle!

If you see the Hummer....say Hi for me!

If you look really carefully you may spot Jim in the drivers seat!

What a cool idea for a post. Expand it, turn it into a printed piece to give to all your buyer prospects. Make it a pdf and put it on your website. Send it out in email. You've got a great idea. And a "5" for it.

Joan! Great ideas! As much as I've moved around the two hardest things for me to find are trustworthy vets and a good hairdresser! I hope others around the country will do blogs like this to help those relocating. Congrats on making the Top 25!

Hi Joan - what a fun post and I love this idea of going to businesses like this and highlighting them in your posts.  I'm in Concord several times a month, and I'm going to go find that Puppy Love stand - love a good hot dog.  And Cool Moose Creamery sounds yummy, too.  All these years that I've been going to NHAR for all kinds of meetings and I've never heard anyone mention either of these two places.....  Thanks for telling us about them!

Congrats on the Week in Review feature!
