Again, a primary example of too much control. You did that in a southern state, and it'd probably bring you more business than you can handle...but our state...grrr...sorry, I love Maine, and will always call it home, but some days things like this just make us look way too up tight. heck, its made national news (saw it on yahoo somewhere today and the Bangor Deadly news...)

The Black Frog is the bastard son of the Roadkill Cafe. The original Roadkill started in the Junction many moons ago. The owners brought in some investors and suddenly there was a slew of them. They had several in Maine, including Rangely and a couple of more down south as well as N.H. and even Hyannis. The roadkill theme worked pretty slick. I sold them a lot of their original large antique enamel signage at that time.

The original burned down, the rest closed their doors and the owners moved into the former Red's Lakeside, downtown. The Black Frog was a wood sculpture that barely survived the fire, hence the name. It sits out front of the new place.

It's true, if you bring in something really cool you can get something in return. Many drinks have been exchanged for the neat license plate or bucket full of insulators. The wait staff expect a hard time and return it to. Probably the cheapest family style fare in town. They also have a small yacht and do dinner cruises in season and have lake view apartments for rent as well as slip space.

That's what I'm thinking. Though the idea of jumping into freezing cold water doesn't thrill me, the idea of doing it nekkid does!!

Why don't they just toss the whiner/tattletale into the drink, and then ban them from the restaurant for life?

The nekkid diving takes place off floating dock right out front. Its an extension of the Frog called the Tiki Barge.

Hot Damn!

"It's true, if you bring in something really cool you can get something in return. Many drinks have been exchanged for the neat license plate or bucket full of insulators."

I knew all of this old junk...er, I mean, these fine antiques would come in handy for *something*. And here she was telling me just the other day that I needed to rent a dumpster and get rid of it all. Why, the nerve of her!
