Driving past the old sign for Hilltop Steakhouse, thinking of the sadness for those who recalled the good times and knowing that the restaurant had lost their way which ultimately led to their demise. It made me wonder if Kowloon would end up in a similar situation, an unfortunate truth that could happen.
But for how long will Kowloon remain, everything is the same, the big sign seen from the highway, the lions out front and the food that is fine, no better or worse than most Asian restaurants. Does this sound familiar, maybe something like Hilltop Steakhouse but with a different cuisine? We hope that Kowloon is around for many more years but wonder that without any changes if they could end up just like the restaurant that had existed up the road and across the street.
If you do decide to take a ride down from the Granite State to see and experience this icon of the past, a white knuckle ride awaits you. Route 1 is a high traffic area with no on ramps so you have to hope some nice person will let you go and dart out into oncoming traffic. I’m probably making too big a deal of this especially for those who drive it every day but I hate driving on this road with no easy entry onto the highway.
