Goose Hummock B+T

[Swimmer]

I remember ogling all the plugs in their packages as a 6 or 7 year old kid 45 years ago when I first went into Goose Humock. Like weewee says it is probably the best real estate in Orleans. Just far enough off the rotary and it provides parking and is on the water also. I wealk in there about fifteen years ago and spotted the guy who sold me my first surfboard at the G & S shop further up route 6 almost to Orleans center. Jesse Kitkarth (sic) was his name. We rekindled an old frienedship. Of course it was next to the DQ. I don't if thats still there. Across the street was Cranberry Cove fast food/mini-golf/pitch & putt golf area where I worked for a summer. But back to the GOOSE. I remember equating the shop with the Rock Hudson movie where he was an Abacrombie & Fitch sporting goods salesman and that he was a supposed fishing expert. The old Goose was that nice.

DQ is there, but not officially part of the chain anymore, altho ya can still get DQ stuff there
Cranberry Cove minigolf pitch and put,, bulldozed, now a papa gino super stop and shop built on top of (what used to be) the big Cranberry Bog (try filling in one of them nowadays...).. there is a mini golf around the corner near Wendys and Freindlys.
Surf shop of some kind still selling boards in between the Goose and the old DQ
Jesse... some ruff times for him... last I heard he's living in FLA.
Heck of a nice guy, like a lot of the old locals, had to split... I'm on the list too, we all are, if ya ain't a gizzilionaire, but gonna hang on as long as I can.
Lot more than meets the eye to this sale... a lot of "variables" and there have been some aggresive approaches to other local business's to aquire the property... but like one wealthy local merchant, who was approached said.... 3.9 million.. averages out to about a buck per headache...
Get a tin boat, dead low tide, pull around back of the retaining wall... one look tells a million stories... that plus the drain pipe from the old bog goes right through the middle of the Goose property, is now handling the parking lot runoff, plus lord knows what else, from the stop and shop, and papa gino plaza.... headaches
Swimmer, I know the movie of which you speak.... I dunno....
