What’s your “Blast from the Past”? Please share your answers. I was driving to the Tsongas Arena at UMass Lowell for one of Thatcher’s high school hockey games the other day and we went by this Haffner’s gas station. My mom was with us and she immediately said, “Well, that’s a blast from the past.” I had never heard of Haffner’s, but it did make me think of some other places that I used to frequent that are no longer. Some of the places I came up with were the Ben Franklin store in Danvers, the old and original Supinos pizza (FULL of creepy clowns) also in Danvers, Pennyworths (I think) in Ipswich with it’s swiveling stools and soda fountain, obviously the old Papa Ginos in Gloucester with the jute boxes at each table, the Garden Patch florist down on Whittemore Street, and many more…. I don’t want to share too many here because I’d love to hear your answers. What places do you remember fondly that are no longer here?
Good Morning Gloucester
