CLUES
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 pad, 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 specialities of each location. For many summers our family certainly has.
NINTH BITE LETTERBOX
Stonybrook Restaurant
Located at the intersection of Stonybrook and Success Avenues in Stratford, CT. Today is Labor Day. Rememebring my hard-working Dad, I return to Stratford for this letterbox. If you found your way to the Second Bite Letterbox at Valley Farm Drive in, then all you have to do is go up the hill on Boston Avenue, Two blocks will bring you to Success Ave. on your right. Head down Success for 8 blocks, and you will come to the intersection with Stonybrook. Go through the intersection and park on the left in front of the Stonybrook Rest. After Dad retired and gave up his car, he and Uncle Joe had to locate a "gin mill" within walking distance where they could get a quality brew and a "bar dog with the works." Dad was never much of a football fan. But he always knew when the season began. I found out today that the Stonybrook only serves hot dogs with "the works" for the football crowd. This year, season begins on sept. 9th!
CLUE: Facing the front door of the Stonybrook, walk around the right side of the bulding. You will come to the driveway which separates the restaurant from the next set of offices. Walk down the driveway, heading toward the right corner. The lot is surrouned by a page fence. An old sink covered with vines has been abandoned behind the fence in the corner. Follow to where the fence is attached to the pole which is against the cement block building. At the base of the pole, you will find the checkered pouch and the Ninth Bite Letterbox.
