    Yep! That's the plan. I can't remember the details, but it won't be the spot the current ones are located. I can't remember if it'll enter into Bratt further up the river or down river.

    I believe there's a group that wants to save the old bridges; kinda like they did just off Exit 3 heading east in Chesterfield, NH. You can still see the old span there. Random note; My wife and I kayaked under those spans (Chesterfield) this summer. You can see the holes in the old bridge from the underside.

    It will be 1000 ft downstream of the current bridge. It will connect NH 119 with Vt 142, which IIRC is what I know as Vernon Road, but I left Hinsdale almost 50 years ago so I could be totally wrong about that. It doesn't sound like construction will start until 2019 or 2020.

    And probably take a number of years to complete after that. The nature of construction!

    The storefront signage went up in the past week, and the store sign is installed out by the road now.

    One of their semis went past my office window at malfunction junction, about a week or so ago, and I thought of this thread. They must have been stocking it. {edit: ‘it’ being the Hinsdale, NH store}

    Never heard of Runnings. Is that a Walmart kinda thing? If so, I hate it already. Support Small Business

    Don't get the impression it's like Walmart. Looks similar to TSC. Suppose we'll know for sure after it opens.

    I think it's it obvious it's not like a Walmart.

    It sounds like they are trying to act like a mom/pop store, but they are obviously giant, and the little guy doesn't stand a chance. So I will stick with my original thought, Support Small Business.

    I haven't been to the plaza pictured above in sometime. But if things haven't changed much, there's a drive-through packie in there.

    Taking a left to the Whetstone or to get into NH is a PITA there...unless it's early in the AM or late at night. The timing of those lights are way off.

    The store is open now, so stopped in to take a look yesterday. Looks like a combination of TSC, Sears, and Renys.
