(darn!) where I used to swim, new owners renovating the boat house, turning it into a flourishing family business, and adding more services to all.Such good times are in my memory forever.No, “NO PARKING” signs will ever steal that from me.After all these years of easy parking, parking has been curtailed.It is only fifteen weeks of the year.Clients launching boats, have to have a place to park, while they rig their crafts.Homeowners are resigned to this fact and are used to it.If this nonsense continues, another business will bite the dust in Knowlton.I have a final say, as taxpayer to this town for nearly fifty years.Hear ye! Hear ye! Town of Brome Lake, ENOUGH!
