I used to live in NH, and still visit quite often. We hadn't been to the Salem area since a while before the pandemic, and decided to take a ride there last weekend. I was so disoriented when we pulled off the mall exit - when did all of that start? Last time I was there it was JUST a mall ... now it is mini malls and a Mass Gen satellite and apartment buildings and condos in the parking lot, as far as the eye can see.
Maybe it had been longer than I thought since I was in that area...

28 has seen steady development over the last 10 years or so, but it really took off in the last 3 years once they razed the track and built out Tuscan Village.
It’s a fucking shitshow on weekends - moreso than ever.
