Does anyone know what is going on the Home Road bait shop at O'shay. It looks closed. Any rumors about a new owner in the wind and if so, when will we know when we can get minnows there this spring?
The last time I was by there it looked like there was workers there doing something but not sure. If you here anything please post cause it looks like going to have to find alternative bait shop.
I thought it was closing because they were building a round a bout there but lately it seems like they are doing work on the place. I would love to put an awesome pizza shop there.
It's a real bummer for me. I could always grab some bait there on my way home. I doubt that they sell bait if it re-opens. Yuppies don't buy bait. That whole area is being gobbled up real quick by development. Lots of fancy cars and people in a hurry around there now.
That's a pretty ignorant statement. Sorry a bait shop isn't classy enough for you. Anyways, I drive by it every day for work. 100% looks closed down. Driving in every morning it was nice seeing all the " old timers " outside waiting for it to open just to drink coffee outside.
No. It's not an ignorant statement. It was more than a bait shop. They served food and ice cream. Those items need to be served in a clean environment. So I disagree with your inappropriate comment.
I drove by there today and noticed on the Home Rd side of the building they have newly painted WILD OAK MARKET (use to be call A New Era Market) and they had either repainted or resided the front and sides of the building. Appears they are going to reopening under this new name.
Remodeling has started... Sure hope the new owners take a better approach to having a successful store/bait as it’s the only location up in the northwest end. Could be a gold mine if some ❤ is applied. ♂
Wish them luck! Sure much more convenient for everyone rather than having to run over to Rt. 23 & Cheshire Market as stated earlier....
Yeah, the lady that bought new era market 2 years ago had no clue what she was doing.
I am pass by there often on my way to the ski club and they were bad about showing up on time.
Hopefully the new owners take it serious!
There's definitely money to be made selling bait and tackle along with food and snacks at that location. Unfortunately the last couple times I was there, the workers acted like I was inconveniencing them by coming into the store. The "bait shop" part of the business had shrunken significantly too. Good luck to the new store, hope it works out
Before the dam was built, there was a sulphur spring and a mineral spa resort, that was a thing in the 1800s. That went bust and a ladies' society in Delaware bought it and turned it into the Industrial Home for Vicious Women. It's still a detention facility now.
OK you old farts, let's go back to 2002 when they replaced the old truss bridge. It was narrow and creaky and the fire department didn't like it. If you zoom in, you can see the weight limit was 8 tons and the clearance at the corners was 11' 4"
There were these structures as part of the bridge, does anyone know their purpose? What did it take to demolish these structures out in the water?
They were just starting to cut the bridge apart. What was that job like? You can see how old and rusted the metal is.
I am not certain that the bridge was taken completely apart and removed as my sonar unit appears to indicatethat part of the super structure is lying on the bottom down river.
I visited the Market this evening. It's clean, neatly displayed and ready for business. They need a few more days to put it all together, but the motivation and good work ethic is evident.
Let's support them. It's good for the community.
