FRYEBURG — Demolition crews tore down the old Jockey Cap Motel off Route 302 at the base of the popular Jockey Cap trail early Monday to make way for a planned 9,100-square-foot Dollar General store.
The site is next to Quinn's Jockey Cap Country Store and the trail leading to the rocky outcropping known as Jockey Cap due to its resemblance to a cap.
