Many years after that he closed the separate store and incorporated it into the back of the restaurant building.

At that time Frank lived in a large house on Main street in Lynnfield and his wife occasionally had a little trouble backing the Mercedes out of the garage. So, Frank had a turntable installed in the garage. His wife could drive in and push the button and her car would turn 180 degrees and be headed out.

Who said money can't buy happiness?
He also had a heated driveway so he didn’t have to plow/shovel. The water would run down the driveway into the street & freeze turning the street into a skating rink.
