PORTSMOUTH Around the turn of the millennium, Glenn Normandeau assumed ownership of his family’s longtime property, 15 Pickering Ave., and with it took control of the property’s flood insurance plan.
The annual premium paid, Normandeau estimated, is about $500 a benefit that’s been largely underutilized due to few bouts of impactful flooding at his house.
“We’ve never had, knock on wood, thank God, one of these devastation deals where the water is six feet high in the house or anything like that,” he said. “The damages that have happened are mostly sort of a mop-up option. We haven t had a scenario where we’ve had serious structural damage to the buildings or anything like that.”
PORTSMOUTH Long before a tiny South End blue cottage was listed on the market for $1.8 million, it was a memorable, mouth-watering mom-and-pop shop where locals stopped for sweet treats.
Now, after years of an elusive history to even Portsmouth’s longest-tenured residents, a Michigan man is reminding the Port City of his father’s famous fudge sold on Marcy Street.
In 1953, Ashley Jones III was in third grade when he, along with his parents, his older brother and older sister, moved from Pennsylvania to 437 Marcy St. in Portsmouth.
“Previously there was a home there that was sitting there desolate and vacant,” Jones said, adding that his parents bought it and tore it down. The “gift shop, he said of the cottage, was a summer cottage in New Castle that his parents also bought, moved and placed at 445 Marcy St. a few years after settling into town.
