Happy Birthday, Kerri! I hope all your wishes come true.
I was walking past St. Peter’s church when I checked this post, so maybe he is the patron saint of lost commenters. But he’s definitely theoretically the keeper of the pearly gates and I believe he cast me down today into the eighth circle of Hell. In the council chambers I was surrounded by all sorts of devils and gluttonous panderers and I think I saw an Epicurian. I developed a tic in my right eyelid and the left side of my head began pounding while I listened to their terrible lament. What an awful place!
Anyhow, I really haven’t a clue about place this place, so my guess is that the photograph was taken from the front and the words are carved in stone.
I’d ask for a hint, but maybe we ought to hear what Jane says?
I saw this yesterday and had No idea. Also thought of the interstate metaphor TC! 🙂
Ummm, since I got the Riverfront clue, I will take a wild guess that it’s at Charter Oak Landing, but I really don’t know. If it’s somewhere I walk by every day I’ll be appropriately sheepish!
There’s that fish sculpture that says “rub my dorsal fin for good health, good wealth, and good humor.” So I figured if I rubbed it it would help me find the place this place. So then I started rubbing it and I thought, “Good lord, I hope no one sees me doing this.” That’s when I saw you glance at me and then quickly look away like you never seen a guy in a big straw hat rubbing a fish statue before.
Where was this photograph taken and what are these words carved into?
Kerri Provost
Should I sent out an APB for Damian and Jane?
Damian
i’m walking to this meeting about Heaven. I stopped in front of St. Peter’s to type this.
Funny, no?
Kerri Provost
Is St. Peter the patron saint for lost commenter people?
Go shake your fist at the no-fun people down there! It’s my birthday, so I’m counting on others to suffer through the City Council meeting.
Damian

It is stone. It’s worth pointing that out due to the fake stone and brick that one sees around.
Damian
Front Street?
Kerri Provost
No…a little too poetic for Front Street.
Damian
wait a sec… is there fake stone and brick around this place, or were you speaking more generally?
TC
The 91/84/Rt.2 connection into Hartford?
Kerri Provost
No, but that would be appropriate.
Stephen Grout
Is it on the riverwalk?
Kerri Provost
Yep, somewhere in that area. Let’s see if someone has a more specific location for this.
Jane

Kerri Provost
Not Charter Oak Landing, but props for being specific. Where this is located is a place I’d generally been, but never to where this is tucked away.
Jane
I was thinking a place where the street run off drains into the river would be appropriate…
Damian
Boat launch at the Boathouse. The other stone bench says, ‘and a river runs through it.’ Through the generosity of Irma and Mort Handel.
I just saw Brendan Mahoney ride by. I don’t think he recognized me. I’m Guy Incognito and I feel smug.
Kerri Provost
You shoulda thrown something at his spokes then. I hear he enjoys replacing them.
YES! Finally! I didn’t photograph the other bench because I thought that’d make it too easy.
Damian
too many witnesses. he woulda’ fallen on his chin and then pointed me out. the crew people would have given me such a paddlin’.
Brendan
I had a suspicion that was you, but the weird hat threw me off.
Damian

So, “fish rubbing” is not instantly designated as a spam comment. I’m surprised by this.
Damian
“Fish rubbing?” I think you just made that up!
