Classic Car Show Each Saturday Night At Bill’s Drive-In

Jun 22, 2018 Stephen Krauchick

#Monroe CT-- If you are looking for something fun to do on a Saturday night head up to Bill's Drive Inn at 431 Monroe Turnpike, Monroe (Route 111) for some good food and a classic car show hosted by the Monroe Street Rodders. I enjoyed the classic burger and fries while my wife enjoyed the chili hot dog. In November, Nico and his family acquired the drive in staying true to the old ways but adding more items to the menu like classic Greek dishes and classic diner menu items as well as breakfast all day. The classic cars are on display Saturdays starting around 4pm and runs to 8pm with an awards show at the end of the night.…

Look Who’s DoingItLocal!

Jun 19, 2018 Stephen Krauchick

How about some likes for Perez Tire Center located at 72 Knowlton Street for becoming a new sponsor!  They have the best prices in Connecticut on tires and wheels.  I did feel like I was in a NASCAR pit stop, Ralphy, pictured here rotated and balanced the tires in record time, got the bounce out of the ride on the highway!  Perez Tire Center also offers flat repair and used tire sales.  They also have Snap! finance for no credit/no credit check financing.   Call them at 203-612-1784 or like them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/pereztirecenterct/   Because of our sponsors, coming soon to DoingItLocal is an App with push notifications so you ALWAYS know what is happening!

LTD Not Just An Advertiser

Nov 9, 2017 Stephen Krauchick

Andrew is getting my daughter set for her on road driving lesson.  LTD has taught my son and now my daughter to drive.  Many of the sponsors on our site aren't just "clients", I try to use their products and let you know about them whenever I can.  My son has had his license for few years now and is a good cautious driver.  I know that wasn't by accident (pun intended) but by good instruction! If you or you know someone learning how to drive I highly recommend LTD!  Give them a call at (203)366- 0047 or visit the online at: http://ltddrivingschoolct.com/

Aug 12, 2017 Stephen Krauchick

There will be no coverage today.  I gotta pay the bills so I'll be photographing a wedding all day. Only 20 people have volunteered to pay a couple of dollars a week to support DoingItLocal.como which is about $100 each month so I have to seek other sources of income.   If you want to subscribe each month to keep us going you can do so at https://www.patreon.com/doingitlocal or a one-time donation at: https://www.paypal.me/DoingItLocal
