The “Tornado” ride at Barnstable Fair at night. It really makes me think of a UFO landing.

Photo of the Week~ Week 29
The other day I had a chance to take a harbor cruise around Boston Harbor. It was a nice break from the oppressive heat. I was pleased when the tour boat swung into the inner harbor past the Constitution. I couldn’t believe my luck when it lined up with the Bunker Hill Monument right behind it.

Photo of the Week~ Week 27
It’s been a good week for photos and that means chosing the Photo of the week was a challenge but there’s an old saying for entertainers: ” you never want to follow animals or children”, meaning, of course, that they have a cute-ness factor that will always make them the star.
So it was with this week. No matter how many times I went back to the fountains, trains, clowns, ferris wheels to review and consider them, today’s choice always drew me back. So here it is…the photo of the week…that precious chocolate lab puppy named Jack.
Congratulations Frates Drive-In Restaurant!
Hey Taunton, Hey South Shore, Hey visitors to our town! We have a really special restaurant right here in Taunton! Not too long ago I gave a shout-out right here to Frates Drive- In Restaurant because they were voted the Best Ice Cream in New England.
Well, they almost did it again. They were runner-up in the voting for the best Hot Dog! Not bad. This isn’t just a town thing…this is all of New England. This is NECN’s Baby you’re the Best contest. Recently I tried the hot dog and sure enough, they have my vote too.
Now I have to admit that I am partial to good seafood and I’ve had their fish sandwich and their fish & chips…both are A+ in my book so New England, can we make them #1 for seafood?
As you can see they were doing a steady business when I was there for my hot dog.
Look at the smiling face on one happy customer! 🙂
And the Ice Cream is still the best!
Frates Drive -in Restaurant is located 1423 Somerset Ave, Taunton, Ma. Stop in and try them out for yourself and if you are on Facebook why not give them a thumbs up with a
“Like”.
I want to thank the young lady and her family for allowing me to use her picture in today’s post. See what nice people eat at Frates! 🙂
