One quick note before the news: our year-end operating support campaign, which includes matching gifts powered by a small group of local donors, kicked off this week. Gifts made this month and next will be matched until we hit $100,000, which means double the support for your local news through Plymouth Independent.
The Plymouth Independent is a nonprofit news organization focused on Plymouth, and free to readers.
Last year I was in the Harbor Freight store in Wareham that used to be a Benny’s. There were about five guys checking out and waiting to check out – mostly guys like me, 60s maybe, gray hair, blue jeans, work shirts. “You know, I like this place, but I sure do miss Benny’s,” I said out loud to no one in particular. All the other customers enthusiastically agreed with me.
Benny’s was the only place I knew where I could get wicks and glass chimneys for oil and kerosene lamps.
