I'd vote for a Trader Joe's (or a nice small market) and the Brooks. The old Rite Aid near Jackson's Star was pretty awful, and the prices seemed high; no loss when it closed. Although the current Brooks storeis a bit crowded, it has good sales, and we've received excellent service at the pharmacy. I agree that the growth in visitors and residents in the Meredith area has been extraordinary in the past 10-12 years, due in no small part to the several inns, shops, and restaurants and the overall charm of the village. In fact, we are giving serious consideration to converting our vacation home near Meredith into our year-round retirement home. BUT we don't want to find the very things we want to escape--huge retailers and shopping malls, traffic, noise, and congestion. Let's not ruin paradise in the name of "progress" or "convenience."
