“Westport Grocery” is as generic as it gets.
Yet only 2 people knew where that “store” — the subject of last week’s Photo Challenge — is.
Okay. It was a semi-trick question.
The sign hangs at the Exxon gas station on Post Read East, at Maple Avenue South. (Click here to see.)
It is a grocery store, I guess, in the sense that it sells Ring Dings, microwave pizza and milk.
But — except for the fact that it’s open 24/7, for those times when you just have to have a Ho-Ho — it is as much a grocery store as Stop & Shop is a gas station, because it sells propane.
Whatever. Congratulations to our 2 alert readers — John McKinney and Pat Saviano — who knew where this sign is.
Meanwhile: Did you know there’s a bicycle fix-it station in Westport? Here it is:

(PS: If you want air for your bike tires, try the Exxon station on the Post Road by Maple Avenue. I hear there’s a grocery store there too!)

and at Compo and Old Mill Beach. I’ve never seen any of them actually used.
On Jesup Green?

you watch too many episodes of twilight zone
Wasn’t that the site of the Exxon station in last weeks puzzle. I seem to remember it also as a used car dealer where you could get a car for 99 cents by staying in it all day and if nobody came along to offer a higher price.
It’s either the Town Hall or the Library. The DuroFixit map shows one at each location.

Lower lot library bike rack fix station. Free to the public, it was a gift from an anonymous resident. I believe there’s 4 of them.

Interesting that there are several of these fix-it stations. The photo shows the one on Jesup Green, near the Library. I thought the background would be a giveaway!
I can’t take credit for the answer to last weeks challenge. I thought it was a gas station, but I had no idea which one or where
