Billy Minicozzi called to identify the mystery picture in the May 8 issue of the Oyster Bay Enterprise Pilot saying "It's the hot dog stand in Oyster Bay: Bonanza's across from the Post Office and it's been there for over 55 years. It is a family run hot dog stand." On a sports note, he is looking forward to the Stanley Cup.
Beatrice Cardinale of Locust Valley, who grew up in Oyster Bay knew the stand by its nickname: "Chinks." "It is Bonanza's hot dog stand," she said.
Logan Kovary called the "How well picture" and identified it as "My mom's horse in front of the Bonanza stand."
Noelle Kovary called and said, "It is Laurette Kovary's horse Lucky Charm at the Bonanza stand.
Peter Petrillo of East Norwich called to say "I know the area very well. It's 'Chinks' Ice Stand: Bonanza. I always go there with my wife, my kids and sometimes with friends."
Elizabeth Palmer of Syosset called to say "It is the Bonanza hot dog stand with one of the horses from the museum in Roslyn." She is very correct as it is the Horse of a Different Color that was at the Nassau County Museum of Art in Roslyn, recently.
Woody Ryder's answer was short and sweet: "It's across the street from the post office, diagonally, at least."
And: the May 5 email arrived with the information from Teresa Mahazi Roundtree of the class of '74 Oyster Bay High School. She identified a picture as Dodds & Eder in the former A&P supermarket building and I think before that it was the Horn and Hardart, she wrote. "I used to shop there with my mother when we lived in Pine Hollow. I left Oyster Bay in 1985 but come back to see my dentist and go the beach."
While we are not sure which picture she was identifying, her details are great. We love to get emails from former residents who catch the Enterprise Pilot on the Internet.
