Flood-displaced downtown merchants set up on the north side of the green and the regular market stands were on the opposite side. College Street was packed with cars. And shoppers hauled bread, veggies, bikes, skis, toys, clothes and even a sled or two through the August morning. Click on the photos below to enlarge them. All photos by John Lazenby.
