The Stroudwater's Plaza is actually called the Lafayette Plaza-Who Knew? A Comment&Correction

The Stroudwater's Plaza (that houses Ethan Allan, Philbricks Farm Fresh Market, ME and Ollie's Cafe, Ethan Allan, Adobe Home Furnishings, Planet Fitness and Others) is actually named The Lafayette Plaza; Who Knew?

A few days ago, I journeyed to and through Kittery and Portsmouth and Newington and Dover and Somersworth, and one of the places I liked the most and stayed the longest, perhaps recalling my many visits to that locale and it's plaza back in the days when the linear structure housed such notables as Stroudwater Books and Cafe and Pier One Imports (though I must confess that I never went into Pier One; nor it's current replacement: Ethan Allen, and it's neighbor: Adobe Home Furnishings; nor even a great many other stores that are housed within that odd, linear plaza that sits up on a hill overlooking Route One and Lafayette Road below), was the plaza known then and now as Lafayette Plaza-much like the plaza further along Lafayette Road which once housed Rich's and Shaw's is called Southgate Plaza. The interesting thing about this is that, until that day, I had not known the true name of that plaza! In the post that first mentioned it and primarily because it was talking about Stroudwaters and how I missed it, I did not give that plaza a name, yet it has one. Fascinating, huh? Especially when you couple it with the fact that for and in all the long years I have known of and gone to that particular plaza, I have never known that name, not once! But this springs to mind a whole new question: If that plaza has a name and every other plaza in Portsmouth that I know of has a name, then why doesn't the plaza located at 1500 Lafayette Road which houses such notables as Market Basket, Movie Scene and Rite-Aid, among many others, seem to have a name? In all that place, I don't think I have ever seen or heard of or read or found a sign, like the little, green and white metallic, rectangular sign on the bushy median at the entrance to the Lafayette Plaza that bears that selfsame name upon it. So, does that and the other Portsmouth Market Basket Plaza, the one on Woodbury Avenue, which also doesn't seem to have an official name or sign designating and proclaiming it, do they also have names? One day, I will describe the area around the Lafayette Plaza and the Plaza itself in far greater detail, for it is an interesting, strangely beautiful place, and one that seems to merge the urban and suburban with the rural, campestral and swampy. I often have gone, as I did on Monday or Tuesday, to the Qwik Stop Mobil Filling Station and Convenience Store, located along the edge of Lafayette Plaza; but that is another story and one that, despite the thousands and thousands of stories, real and fake, true and fictional, that I could tell, will no doubt be told one day, so I see no reason to continue on about it now. It is saved for another time...and not the Sometime Time, either-lol!
