CONWAY â As state and local sites gear up to start vaccinating people age 65 and over for COVID-19 this week, people are reporting a variety of experiences in registering to get the shot, from relatively easy to frustratingly difficult.
Meanwhile, some are asking why the vaccinations are being given only twice a week. The North Conway site, at the former Mt. Washington Observatory Weather Discovery Center on Main Street in North Conway Village, has appointment dates set up for Thursdays and Fridays, beginning this week. However, mid-March was the soonest those who tried to sign up Saturday could get an appointment.

At their meeting today, selectmen will again take up the topic of North Conway Village’s lack of public toilets, a topic that has taken on additional urgency during the pandemic.
The selectmen will meet at the new town hall at 23 Main St. in Conway Village at 4 p.m. Their meeting can be viewed on Zoom; it is also live-streamed over Facebook.
On Monday, Town Manager Tom Holmes said he plans to update the board “on what we are doing as far as looking for a spot for permanent public restrooms, as well as coming up with a temporary seasonal solution for this summer.”

CONWAY â The Skimobile climbs up and down Mount Cranmore. An orchestra is playing at the Eastern Slope Inn. The Jack Frost and Carroll Reed shops vie to outdo each other in high ski fashion. And Miss Eastern Slope is set to be crowned at the Winter Carnival Ball on Saturday night at John H. Fuller Elementary.
Wait, what kind of time warp is this, anyway?
Itâs the best kind: Easily accessible. In these troubled pandemic times, traveling back to the more carefree era of the Sixties seems like a good cure for all of us, doesnât it?
And all you have to do is stop by the North Conway branch of the New England Ski Museum to immerse yourself in the pages of the Eastern Slope Signal, a winter tourism newspaper that thrived from 1963-75.
CONWAY â In observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a group has scheduled a Peace Walk for Monday, Jan. 18.
The walk, being sponsored by Being Peace Mount Washington Valley, will depart from the base of Eagles Way near Kennett High at noon and head north to North Conway Villageâs Schouler Park. It will take place along the sidewalk on Route 16. Participants will wear masks and be socially distanced to stay safe from COVID-19.
John Skelton, a member of the group, said the walk is to âhonor the legacy and messageâ of King, the civil rights leader who was slain on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tenn.
