Dear Sun Spots: I am an avid reader of Sun Spots on a daily basis. I have written to Sun Spots many times, and the column was very helpful. You do a great job and a great service to and for many people. Keep it up.

I have two questions; hopefully you can help.

My first question is, when and why did the A.J. Wright department store on Brighton Avenue in Portland close and why?

My second question is, whom would I contact to have incorrect information removed from public records? Intelius has incorrect information on file in public records, that pertains to my name. I would like to get the incorrect information removed, but don’t know who to contact regarding this information. I have contacted Intelius, and they told me they can’t remove any information regarding public records. Thank you for your help. – No Name, No Town.

Answer: In addition to responses from readers, regarding your first question, AJ Wright in the Pinetree Shopping Center closed Jan. 18, 2007.

According to a representative of TJX, the parent company of AJ Wright, the closure was part of a repositioning for future growth. On Nov. 30, 2006, AJ Wright announced it would be closing 34 out of 162 stores. The Maine location was one of those. The representative noted that the closings give the division a firmer platform for AJ Wright to go forward, continue growing.

In the meantime, you might be interested in checking out the AJ Wright at Main Street Marketplace Plaza, 300 Main St., Suite 404, Nashua, NH 03060, 603-595-8090. It is open Monday to Saturday from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sundays from noon to 6 p.m.
