When my wife & I visited New England several years ago, Listmom Alice was kind enough to join us and show us many of the places of interest. We had several enjoyable meals together at Lowell's and I truly expected that we'd get back there. I'm sorry for all--both the restaurant staff and the patrons--for their loss.

I too am sad to hear of the collective loss of Lowell's. when I summered the 60's at my grandparents place, Lowell's was a regular stop. Of course it was Lowell's Dairy then. We'd bring home milk and without a doubt, the best frozen custard in the world. (The sherbet wasn't too shabby either.) With Milly Mitchell's for seafood and Lowell's for ice cream, it made for a perfect summer memory. Tim

Thank you Jim - It was Mendon's hot spot and will be missed. I work with some younger people, and yesterday 2 of them 16 & 22 both remembered that they got first hair cuts at Warren's barbershop - attached to Lowell's and also destroyed in the fire. There are so few of these types of places left - the food was great, and inexpensive. You could bring your kids and still have a nice meal. Go there for dinner, and see 4 or 5 people you know. I just saw the news - they said it was an accidental fire, starting in the kitchen.
