Noice, but I prefer the one in Harrison, it's got more stuff on it!

I too prefer Harrison. But it’s because of Melby’s and their malted milkshakes

Melby's is in Waterford, Market Basket/Harrison General Store is in Harrison. And, as of a month or two ago, Melby's closed. RIP Melby's/Tutt's.

Haha you are very correct. I tend to just think of everything between Naples and bethel as Harrison (sorry Sweden and Norway and waterford).

But that news about Melby’s closing is the saddest thing I’ve heard in a while. Do you have any additional info on why they shuttered?

Yeah, staffing and COVID keeping the tourists away had a lot to do with it. But the Hills have plans for a food truck next year, so the Buffalo Burger will ride again soon!
