CONWAY â Retired middleweight champion Marvelous Marvin Hagler, who died last Saturday at his Bartlett home at age 66, was remembered as one of the valleyâs own after the famous boxer first started coming here in the early 1980s, then bought a home in Bartlett in 1985.
âAs far as Iâm concerned, he was the valleyâs celebrity,â is how Terry OâBrien, co-owner of the Red Parka Steakhouse and Pub in Glen, summed up Hagler.
Bartlett Police Chief Christopher Keaton said police logs show that Hagler was transported by Bartlett-Jackson Ambulance Services from his home near Attitash to North Conwayâs Memorial Hospital on Friday evening.
The pandemic hit home on the local restaurant front with a vengeance last week, forcing several establishments to close temporarily and visitors.
Among eateries posting they were closed due to COVID but would reopen soon after cleaning and quarantining were Moat Mountain Smokehouse & Tavern in North Conway; Sunrise Shack in Glen; Horsefeathers Restaurant in North Conway; May Kellyâs Cottage in North Conway; Wildcat Tavern in Jackson; Fiesta Jaliscoâs Mexican restaurant in North Conway; and Tuckerman Restaurant and Tavern in Intervale.
The Sunrise Shack, a breakfast eatery that had set up outdoor picnic tables last summer to increase its seating, posted on Facebook on Jan. 19: âHereâs the post that you hope not to have to write ⦠Out of an abundance of caution, The Shack is going to shut down starting tomorrow due a COVID exposure. Weâre hopeful that this shutdown will be limited to a week.â
