This is a 12-stamp series dedicated to family memories and family businesses. (Both of these need to be cherished and preserved, in my opinion.) We salute our favorite hot dog stands, located all the way from Stratford to Naugatuck, CT.
These are "quickie" boxes: located in high traffic areas, no pads, no ink. Each of the 12 bites from the footlong hot dog is numbered and contained in a pouch made from red and white checkered tablecloth. Please be quick to collect the stamp, and thorough in hiding it again. We hope that you will have the time to enjoy the specialties of each location. For many summers, our family certainly has.
FIRST BITE LETTERBOX (replaced 6.09.11)
Danny's
Located at 940 Ferry Blvd., off of Exit 33 heading North in Stratford, CT. It is in the general area of the Dock Shopping Center, and is on the Stratford side of the Washington Bridge. If you are not familiar with the area, it can be a little tricky when traffic is heavy. Don't be discouraged; the food is worth it. If you miss the parking lot on your first try, better to go under the highway and circle around rather than go over the bridge.
Danny Smith opened his hot dog stand in 1935. For many years, it was the only place in town where you could get tomato on your hamburger. When this box was placed, Mom had a Pizza Dog with lots of mozarella and Marinara Sauce. Skip had the famous Seasoned Waffle Fries. Two coffees. Bill:$11.06
CLUE: To the right of the door, there are benches situated outside of the stand. The owners have now closed off that right side of the building with very nice seats and white criss-cross lattice. There is also a line of red poles set in the concrete. DON'T LET ANYONE SEE YOU, as you sneek your way around the corner of the building, between the poles and the fence. To your right is a concrete wall, a gap, and then a fence. In the gap is an old weathered wooden plank. Lift the plank to find the checkered pouch and the first bite letterbox.
