Also, just a bit further down Central Street was an establishment called the Jo-Belle hat shop. I suspect, but I haven’t confirmed, if the two were related. Hope this helps settle the debate! Good luck.

I say it was the Belle shoppe, having worked there as a stockboy when I was 16. this is not evidence enough for my doubting thomas of a wife.

Interviews and testimonies from some of the oldest residents would be wonderful. Some books need to be written outside on the sidewalk.

If such a book would be half as interesting as your blog, it would be a bestseller! I would certainly buy it, anyway.

Is there a Lowell historical society that you could contact about photos? I was thinking of trying that with some of the towns my family is connected to.
