Allan Peel, San Antonio, Texas, wrote: “Today’s mystery photo was taken from the entrance to the parking lot of Norcross Place, a historic village landmark in North Conway Village, New Hampshire. This multi-tenant food, drink, and social destination serves as a shared gathering space that reflects North Conway’s evolution from ski town to year-round destination.
“Norcross Place is located at 2686 South Main Street (White Mountain Highway), along the village’s main thoroughfare, and within walking distance of major village attractions such as the Conway Scenic Railroad and Cranmore Mountain Resort. After experiencing a decline in visitor traffic in the early 2020s, the property underwent a major redevelopment between 2023 and 2024. The renovations completely reimagined the interior of the property as a multi-level dining and entertainment space featuring locally owned food and drink businesses, outdoor patios, with rooftop decks overlooking Main Street and offering scenic views of the surrounding White Mountains. This has revitalized North Conway Village, making it an ideal, year-round gathering spot for both locals and visitors alike.” The photo came from Bill McLees of Norcross.
Two regulars, George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; and Jay Altman of Columbia, S.C. also identified the photo.

Peach State supports Marine’s Toys for Tots
Peach State Federal Credit Union recently completed a toy drive in support of the Marine Corps Toys for Tots program. Every year, the credit union invites members and staff to donate new, unwrapped toys and bring them to one of its branch locations. This year’s drive comes at a time when many families across Georgia and South Carolina are experiencing heightened financial strain. Despite these challenges, Peach State has witnessed extraordinary generosity from its members and neighbors – proof that even in difficult times – the spirit of giving remains strong. Ryan Hawk, Peach State’s executive director of Business Development and Community Outreach and C.A.R.E.S. Foundation president, says: “We believe in coming together when it matters most. Through this annual initiative, people are prioritizing others even as they face economic uncertainty. It truly reflects our goal of giving back, especially in times of greatest need.”
