Matthew Harlow Well...the Economedies go way back in the restaurant business. His Brother in Law and sister came over from Greece...Antigone and Ernest Halmas (sp?)..they owned the New York Restaurant by Peg Noonan Park. Ted came over from Greece a few years later and they set him up in the Little New Yorker (where the Quarterdeck is now) The big New York was a seasonal operation. The Little NY'er was year 'round. This was during/after WWII. After the NY'er Ted Married Joan LaRocca whose Father was from Chicago and Mother was from Mattapan. There was a connection to Serta Mattresses (?) On Joan's side. They opened the small restaurant on the old road that cut through the end of the plaza- Grand Avenue to Worcester Court. (Where Staples is) After Joan and Ted's Teddy got the concession at Old Silver.. then the concession at the Rink...Joan and Ted were quite involved with hockey- Their son Ernest was a player and was killed while in HS in a collision on Woods Hole Rd. A drunk Coast Guardsman tried to pass on a solid yellow and struck Ernie' s oncoming car. Joan and Ted had the license plate " EE-12" to memorialize him on their car to this day! They also sponsered a tournament and a scholarship in his name for years. After the concessions Ted opened up Eco's Landing on Palmer Ave (currently Seafood Sam's) . After Ted passed away Joan and John moved up over the bridge and now have the Seafood Shanty by the herring Run. Ted was a very good friend to my dad...and generous to the Hockey and High School students of Falmouth. 29 minutes ago via mobile · Unlike · 3

Otis M Porter Actually, Ponzi Marks was Harold Marks, a retired police officer who I worked with in the 60's and early 70's. Harold "Ponzi" Marks' brother was George Marks who ran George's Liquors in Teaticket. Their father had had a junk yard and metal recycling place where the liquor store was later relocated. In the 50's, the Marks' had their junk/ metal recycling in what's now Town Hall Square. It was about where the bowling alley and the stamp and coin store are now. Former Selectman Eddie Marks and his brothers are a different family. 15 minutes ago via mobile · Like · 1

Otis M Porter Cozy Cottage was across the street from d'Angelos on Main St. Arthur Ratsy owned Cozy Cottage and we would stop in on the midnight shift for breakfast. It was crazy busy there every night. Mary's Dream was a pyramid shaped restaurant where d'Angelos is now. It then became the House of Wong a great Chinese restaurant. Where Cozy Cottage was originally had been a little Tydol gas station. I think Larry Rose owned or operated it at one time. Not too sure of this though. 4 hours ago via mobile · Like · 3 Paula Roberts I would find it so, so difficult to move from Falmouth just because of views like this within minutes of where I live. 3 hours ago · Like Jan Freeman Otis before cozy cottage was it Bugerville? 3 hours ago · Like Christy Woollacott Having grown up in Falmouth heights Iwas spoiled with great veiws of the ocean 2 hours ago · Like · 1 Otis M Porter Jan Freeman, I'm not sure about Burgerville.

This photo is the intersection of Main & Walker St. after Falmouth got hammered by a major Nor'easter on Feb. 27th, 1952. More than 20" of snow fell on Parts of Cape Cod with 4-8' drifts created by winds gusting over 70 mph. This location is now occupied by Headlines Salon and The Black Dog.

This photo of the Leland estate is from the early 1900's. The home to the left is the Leland residence which still stands on Clinton Avenue. The large yellow home has since been converted into condos. The water in front is Deacons Pond which was dredged to create Falmouth Inner Harbor on Labor Day weekend 1908. The area of water seen in this photo was filled and is now Scranton Avenue.

Sheryl A Kozens-Long Joseph Medeiros was the developer of Beagle Lane.... The son of Jesse Medeiros who's farm land it was originally... Joe and his brother in law Gilbert Costa, and a close Family friend Francis Barrett were beagle breeders and field trial handlers as well as hunters, the original plan was to build the street around the Family concept and have the ability to have kennels and dogs to run and train beagles... So it became a reality... It became beagle lane.., later the three of them became part of the founding fathers of the "beagle club" in east falmouth... The story .., Jesse Medeiros was my great grandfather .., Joe was my uncle ... Gilbert was my grandfather.. We have been there since 1785.., but I'm just ignorant! ************************************************************************************* Matthew Harlow Before the operators worked out of the building across from the Fire Station they worked out of the Building that houses Eight Cousins Bookstore.
