Photo Challenge #501

“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!)
