Each week, City Manager Tom Aspell paints his Hot Wheels yellow and black and cruises through the neighborhood asking kids if they want to get on his school bus. We lined up all the restraining orders he got, and they spell out a city memo!
What, no my space?

Driving in circles
Roundabouts are for that
What a difference a week makes. The roundabout at Village Street and Washington Street in Penacook is really shaping up, Aspell writes. We assume it’s actually still round, though. The curbing for the roundabout and the splitter islands have been installed, along with the center landscape island, where we stood and read Shutter Island. Brochu Landscaping continues with its landscape/hardscape efforts and the sidewalks in the vicinity of the roundabout have been prepped for paving. This week will bring more sidewalk and landscape work through the roundabout and in the vicinity of Boudreau Square. One lane of traffic will continue to be maintained through the work zone.
