Here's a list of important topics that should really be given much more attention in the blogosphere:

- Was there actually an Ansel Savage that lived in the caves of Newbury's "west woods" ?

- Was there anything better than a Sports Haven chicken hoagie after cutting 5 acres of grass with a push mower on a blazing Saturday afternoon?

- Why hasn't any other ice cream joint in the Midwest taken Dairy King's lead and offer the devastatingly delicious "crunch coat" topping?

- What was the deal with Oceana Park on Music Street, in between Auburn Rd. and Rt.44?

- How did Music Street get its name?

- What kind of establishment might have some success in the old Green Acres Tavern space?

- Does anybody besides me get a little misty when they drive by Teague Shopping Center and remember the days of Prots and Stop n' Go Video?

- Can anyone corroborate/debunk the old Newbury Video clerk's claim that there was some strange activity over at Punderson State Park back in the 60's and 70's? Alright, he didn't flat out say "aliens" or "ghosts", but he was willing to offer up that he was scared by "lots of weird, out-of-this-world stuff man."


Thanks to the hard work of the late Marian Gould Bottger for putting this wonderful brief History of Newbury together.
