 Fairfield Sweet Shoppe In the late 20s, the Sweet Shoppe, located at 628 Post Road,
was owned and operated by the grandaunt and granduncle of the Chat-n-Chew owner!

 Community Corner This postcard entitled "Community Building" shows the corner of the Post Road and Old Post Road. It's postmarked 1938. |
 The Fairfield Library Early card of the library including a horse drawn buggy! Note that surrounding the building are residences rather than retail establishments. |
 Post Office The message on this card is dated 1909. No e-mail? Hitch up the team and take a ride into town. A penny postcard may not be as quick, but it lasts almost 100 years! |
 Motoring the Post Road In 1934 motoring down the Post Road was quite the thing! Those were the days when $2.89 bought a full tank of gas. |
 Business Section The business section is bustling with activity! Next time you're stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic, horns honking, blood pressure rising, just remember it could be worse! Your horse could be thirsty and you could be miles from the nearest trough! |

Mohegan Sun? Foxwoods?? Why travel all that way when you can hop into your Model-T and head over to Boyle's Beach Casino? Postcard was postmarked in 1914. |
