Portsmouth is a very interesting place, for many reasons. One of the interesting aspects is how a particular street evolves over time, with an ever-changing list of tenants and various hanging street signs as people move around, close, etc. Commercial Alley is one of the most beautiful nooks in town, and it’s had an influx of new tenants in the past couple years – as you can see by the mostly new hanging signs.
“Nooks” is a good word to describe this. I love nooks like this in New England towns. Wonderful image.
