Grew up on Central street moved to NC and missed my hometown and family/friends so much I've decided to move back looking for a house somewhere little past Concord near the great lakes. Love the content!
Yes Forest Hills use to be in that mill on the bottom floor. I have a picture of my mother and brother in the store in the early 60's. It later opened a new store across the street where Osco was.
You might be thinking of Forest Hills which used to be on the first floor of 195 McGregor. Soucy's Supermarket was in the basement if I remember correctly. I have a picture of the canal that was where Commercial Street, filled with polluted water
Soucy's market on the West side? I'll have to look into that . Do you know where the first Saindons Market was . In a video I posted about Saindons one of the owners mentioned that the original Saindons was " down the hill " before the urban renewal project of the area of St. Mary's Bank. Maybe Soucy's was the original Saindons and it was simply renamed . It's also crazy that hardly info really exists about that area . Also yes the canals were disgusting , often bodies were found from time to time and they were heavily polluted as well as the Merrimack river .
Somehow i missed this video. My mother also worked at Preview products when i was young. She worked in a few of the shoe and other factories. They would be paid by piece work.
I worked on the second floor of the Lemay Jewelers building at the Youth Opportunity Center. Best job I ever had, but the good jobs never last. The building is being repurposed into apartments.
What's good is that it's not being torn down and the exterior isn't going to change much . That corner really is the last time capsule left on Elm street as it hasn't been renovated in at least 60 years .
I remember in the early 90s that mill you showed around the 9 to 10 minute mark contained Mike's Video, a VHS rental place. I was a member there for a short time. Maybe that was the place you went into.
Second comment but I wanted to ask your opinion of this: What are your thoughts on what they did to the old refinery buildings by the market basket on elm? That apartment building they are building across from it is the ugliest thing I have ever seen and I'm afraid that more of it is going to replace those cool old gaslight district brick buildings they just demolished. No respect for things that came before us, only to be replaced by garish and ugly vanity projects.
I actually made a video on the subject as I don't like history being erased . .although it would of taken a fortune to restore the place . ua-cam.com/video/hHFOjcqTNXU/v-deo.html
You were right in front of Helen's next to Lemays. I hope the front will keep some of the old fashioned look Manchester was famous for. ALL NEW is often ugly. People want familiarity. As for Helen's, why on earth did you think she was a dry cleaners? She is famous for alterations. Helen and the women who work with her are well known around the city for accomplishing just about anything people need updated. You should mention her and that you made a SNAFU. She is ALTERATIONS. not dry cleaning.

I wish they didn't take the sign down😢
Nice

Mike's video does sound familiar
I was a very small kid in the 90s but i remember that lolipop art structure and i want to say it was a mobile that blew in the wind? i could be wrong
Yes it moved with the wind .
