I grew up in Mystic and had lots of friends who worked at Abbott's. Thanks for the feature... it made me a little homesick. Wow! I grew up in Mystic and had lots of friends who worked at Abbott’s.

I recently found this site, and having grown up in CT and now in Brooklyn, I enjoy all the references to New England culture and locations I grew up around.

There is nothing better than arriving by boat with a full cooler, and breaking bread with friends and family.

I didn't think there was anything I would really miss, but you just reminded me. We used to bring a tablecloth, silverware, candles and good beer and wine and have a feast. Hopefully the house will sell before Abbotts closes for the season and we can have one last feast after we pack everything up. My parents are moving from CT after living there for over 30 years.
