Cinnabon!!! Yum!!!

Tropical Smoothie cafe like the one in North Dartmouth.

A place with lots of parking like a Cracker Barrel or Olive Garden Restaurant. I've listened to many people from Middletown and Portsmouth who do not go to the Newport restaurants, too pricey and no parking. Middletown has a few reasonably priced ones but Portsmouth does not, especially half way between Middletown and Portsmouth. Maybe someone will finally think it is a good idea!

a TRUE New York deli

A windmill repair shop.

Construction and Maintenance of Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems. One stop shop that does engineering,permit,finance and construction.

Bill ???? stick with your windmills !

A bookstore, new and used with coffee and tea, newspapers, and with a Kaufman's Hardware store annex, so you could read how to fix something and than get anything in the world you needed to repair it, That man had at least one of EVERYTHING!!

Thats good, got me an ace card, gets ya good deals
and he did have every thing, i can remember when we played street hockey with tennis balls, after breaking 2 in half at the high scholl and not wanting to revert to playing with rocks we took a ride down to his store, Mr Kaufman? got any tennis balls? "nope sorry sold out, BUT! i got this!" and he whips out a brand new mylic street hockey ball I don't think zayre's even had them yet, Now why would he have that? Because the DUDE had everything

The way I remember it: SOME ONE..Whined that Bernie was open on Sunday..(Blue Laws) He had done this for years..(9:00AM T'il Noon..Sunday) No One had ever complained............T'll then: Bernie threw in the towel....RETIRED......

Thats true, we only played street hockey on Sunday morning, and it seemed if ANYTHING in the house or car broke late saturday Dad would at Kaufman's Sunday morning, getting not the right part, but something to fix it, Went into that side room ONCE, and that was a whole nother world in it's self, art supplies, taxidermy stuff, balsa wood, left handed ring washers, I think he even might have opened the basement once, I didn't want to know what was down there!As I recall he closed about the time that M&B auto opened up at the bottom of the hill, That I think started the Blue Law fight, because they opened on Sunday morning to, Church attendantance dropped of massively as the whole town decided to fix their cars and houses on Sunday mornings only, At least i think thats what happen, no more church at the roller rink.

Berniie had Nails by the pound out of a bin. Today nails come in a BOX. Bernie KNEW his clientèle. ......And what they were buying ...and what they needed. Sadly those days are gone. Bernie passed away. Bernies wife....I can't remember her name.... was also right there holding down the FORT in the store... maybe still around..I'm not sure.

We still have a pair of Oil Lamps that we bought from Bernie...for Huricanes.

I believe her name was Edna
