General Road and Highway Discussion

[DHLawrence]

Can't blame it all on the road configuration; Preston Springs has spent more years empty than full, and King and Fountain was not always that busy an intersection. The place lost its purpose after the sulphur springs craze died out. It's too much hotel for what was then a sleepy mill town and is now just a sleepy part of Cambridge - a part of town that everyone drives through rather than driving to. The only options are seniors home and apartments, and there's not much parking available for either use. That's why the trend has been to develop Preston Springs and the Kress/Dorchester site as a package deal.
