My View of Life on the Dock
Congratulations Seaside Graphics! https://www.seasidegraphics.com/
After 5pm, I had only got about this far changing the tire when Bill circled back to offer to help–even though he was on his way home and gearing up for a milestone weekend celebration. Thank you ! Congratulations to you and the staff over so many, many years. That’s a long successful run for a local business that is clutch for so many.
What an impressive family affair! Congratulations Dr. Powers and Dr. Powers 🙂 !
Powers Family Dental has moved from 26 Dale Avenue to 18 Dale Avenue. Dr. Conor Powers, Dr. Michael Power’s eldest child, has joined the practice and is as congenial, warm and fastidious as his father. What hasn’t changed? The wonderful staff and dental hygienists! Michael’s sister Gina Muniz and niece Candace Balboa also work at the office. The expanded practice features six gleaming exam rooms outfitted in comfort and style with the latest and innovative equipment, efficient dental chair tech, custom sound system, and imaging–the x-ray being the sole carry over from the prior digs.
The new headquarters is closer to Central Grammar, directly across from the post office, with plenty of windows and views. Parking is available on Dale Avenue plus there are a few spaces on the building lot. From Dale Avenue, the accessibility entrance integrates a classic New England architectural detail into its design: a sweet and safe bridge crossing walkway to the front door. More Power To You 🙂
“Walter Powers Sr. started the business in 1926 on Middle St. In 1957 Walter Powers Jr. joined and they moved to 26 Dale Ave. In 1999, Michael Powers joined at 26 Dale Avenue. On September 16, 2024 Conor Powers joined and the practice moved to 18 Dale Avenue.” – Candace Balbo
Michael Powers maternal grandfather, Reginald Courant, was also a dentist- on Middle Street!
