Title: Tewksbury Area Info Needed- NEARFEST
Post by: Carl WA1KPD on September 14, 2008, 08:29:35 PM
Last spring on the way up to Nearfest, K1VYU and I split the trip up and stayed Thursday night in Tewksbury. The next morning we set off under 495 looking for a place to have breakfast. Getting lost after much driving we stumbled into a GREAT place and want to hit it again. However we do not remember the town or name. Here is what we do remember
 
•   It was defiantly north of Tewksbury.
•   It was in a moderate sized town and the center (?) was having some significant road work being done this Spring. This was not a one day effort but included detours and as I recall Jersey barriers
•   At the in town detour  the local policeman pointed to a small place in small shopping  area (3 stores?) and a parking lot. He  highly recommended it for breakfast
•   The establishment was moving two doors down in the same complex in next week to a larger spot. People were signing the walls
•   As one entered the door, the area was long and narrow. The cashier was on the right with a pastry case. There were several rows of tables and booths
•   I seem to recall we turned out to be near 93.
•   It was real home-style non fancy cooking.
•   I think the name included the owners’ name “Mikes Place’ or something like that.
 
This is critical. I have tried Google, Google maps etc with no luck. Anyone know what this place is named and in what town?

Tnx and 73

Lowell?

Lowell is north of Tewksbury & is easy to get lost in...

I spent a lot of time years ago in that area for a company I used to work for and the only GREAT places I recall were a Thai restaurant in Lowell if you can believe it, a pizza place in Chelmsford that made awesome cheesesteaks ... and Macs Two in Billerica  ;)

Carl,

Is that seasoning on the eggs from the place you believe you ate or is it paint peeling from the walls from the place you believe you ate?
