Message: [QUOTE="whaler11, post: 2252301, member: 676"] I know you didn't ask but I drove through Portland CT earlier. Highlights and recommendations: The Burger King near the bridge has one of those new fangled soda machines where you can make anything. Cream flavored 7-up? Just a touch screen away. The Exxon closer to Cobalt... 8 gallon fill up = free car wash. You wouldn't want to eat in the restaurant proper but if you need catering for 25 or so Farrell's has good macaroni and cheese in bulk (vegans order w no cheese). If you are on Main St bust a left near Petzold marina. At the end of that road sometimes they leave the gate unlocked. You can jump right in the river and you'll probably have it all to yourself. If you've got some putters, golf balls and a good flashlight a solid bargain is the closed down mini golf course - just wait for the cover of night. Time it right and you can catch the horse pulls up at the fairgrounds. If the Olympics had a baby with the Super Bowl - it wouldn't be as awesome as the Portland Fair. Book early for the nicest hotel in the town... The Riverdale Inn: AAA approved with Color TV. The Eggs Up Restaurant across the street is open from 7-10 a.m. Wednesday-Sunday. That would keep anyone busy for a while. [/QUOTE]
