    Maybe the next Eggfest we can have a Hotdog theme. Everyone can bring in the best from their local area.

    Anyone ever hear of "Rochester Hots"? Those from the upstate NY city claim that's where the best hot dogs live!

    I was born in and grew up outside of Boston Steve and I think your better off 1800 miles away!!!

    That does look like fun, maybe a short visit would be OK, but to live there again . . . NO WAY . . . taxes, pollution, corruption, cold weather, New Englanders. :blink:

    The only way you'd ever get me back there for more than a few days is kicking and screaming and in a straight jacket. :laugh:

    That is one scary thought!!!

    Gator, notice I said "sometimes"! I went back to the North Shore for my Grandmothers funeral a few years ago. I agree. Great for a vacation, but I couldn 't live there. I still have family in Revere, not far from Kelleys ;)

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Yup, great place to visit but if you stand still to long your bound to get taxed for it. I haven't missed paying the excise tax on my vehicles or having to go through the inspection sticker racket for 27 years. I grew up in Walpole, MA. famous for it's State Prison and nothing else. I think at one time they were thinking of building a land fill for Boston there just to spruce the place up! :laugh:

    When I was a kid we spent idyllic summers in Duxbury. Catching Striper's, Blues and Flounder were the order for the day if the tide was right, if not claming was a safe bet. Nights were good for burgers and rings at the DQ before going to the little drive-in theater just across the street over in Kingston. Fridays always meant a trip to Marshfield to the A&W to stock up on root beer for the weekend. It was made there at the store and was sold in one gallon glass jugs. Man, it was good! We didn't have any fast food or multi-plex theaters and didn't miss them.

    I don't think I could go back and see the change, I think there is a mall where the drive-in used to be. :(

    Hahaha, New Englanders are a treat! Their just as nice as any other people, they just don't want you to know it! I have family up that way that would sooner talk to a stray cow as talk to a stranger. :laugh:

    I have moved into towns up there were they wouldn't give me the time of day until I had lived and worked there for a year. Literally! Give them a couple years to get to know you and your good as family. :lol:

    I escaped . . . er . . . moved away from New England and was delighted to find a whole friendly country out here. :cheer:

    I had fun when I lived there, too. I remember going into the little stores for birch beer and the occasional Moxie. Huge Kane's doughnuts were fantastic. I used to walk from Peabody to Salem Willows to play in the arcade and eat hotdogs...I could go on for pages on all the wonderful times I had. But that was back in the 60s and early 70s. I moved to Texas in 75 and wouldn't leave it for the world. Only problem here is I'm not a GOP conservative so I bite my tongue a lot :woohoo:

    Hahaha, I know what you mean about having to bite your tongue a lot. I never learned that lesson well and get a lot of scowls from the neighbors. We try hard not to talk politics. :laugh:

    OH OH, this sounds dangerous! LOL. I have to confess, when I was a teenager I used to work as first mate on a 36' sloop for a friend of the family. He took charters up and down the New England coast, mostly junior high aged kids. We often took his dog, a medium sized terrier along with us and my first job when we stopped for the night was to take Vicky ashore for her walk. She was a good sailor for a pup and she and I tore up Marblehead harbor late one afternoon. We had a little sailing dingy and the wind was perfect and we had a blast! LOL. The north shore wasn't all bad. :lol:

    I find it hard to believe that they have BGE's in Whitman! Hahahaha, thats like saying they have them in Hanson! I like little towns like that, blink and you miss them. Must be a dealer in Brockton. ;)

    The south shore is great but you still have some mighty nasty winters!
