overheard

Heard: On Tuesday, Jan. 16, at 12:30 p.m. in Bagel Works on Main Street:
“You Indian? You look Indian. My grandmother was a Cherokee. She looked like a black woman. You see a picture of her, she looked like a black woman. It’s crazy.”
– Spoken by a man wearing plug earrings to a Bagel Works employee.

Seen: On Tuesday, Jan. 16, around 2 p.m. at the corner of Pleasant and North State Street, a blue Ford Escort parked with a box of Entenmann’s Apple Puffs tucked under the windshield blade and a single puff speared on the antenna. The car had a New Hampshire veteran’s plate that read I_HUNT.

"Oh, I'm sorry -- I thought you were my girlfriend."

-- Heard on Main Street the evening of Nov. 10.

After a long day at the office a kind face, small talk and laughter is a good way to end the day. Jon Steiner, bartender extraordinaire, of Penuches in Concord, is my go to man. He is truly the most pleasant person I have ever encountered. Always upbeat and friendly he is quick to start a conversation and make you feel at home and always remembers what your frosty beverage of choice is. Concord is lucky to have him!

SEEN: An intrepid-looking gentleman wearing a black eye patch and riding about town in a motorized chair sporting a pirate flag.
