This is the one tag and challenge that I always make a point of joining, and also look through the posts of others that join the challenge and seeing markets from all around the world.
For this weeks post, I am going to share shots of three food places, starting with the Frates Milk Bottle Building.
Now I have driven by this a few times, and have meant to go and get shots of it for ages, well I finally did last week, I thought it was a cool and unique style building

But looking it up I found there are a few Milk bottle buildings here in Massachusetts and some in other states as well, so maybe not that unique but I still think it is pretty cool, I have also found where some other ones are not to far from here so I plan to go and check them out soon

The Frates Dairy company was based in New Bedford, Mass., and is known for having built three buildings shaped like milk bottles. Two of the three have survived. This one is in New Bedford
the Milk bottle is 52 feet tall
the building was originally an Ice cream stand, then a restaurant built and operated by Frates Dairy company.
bottle-shaped building was constructed by steaming wood and warping it to create the shape of a milk bottle. Once constructed, the bottle was then topped with a red bottle cap. The sides of the bottle were painted to resemble milk -- as it was delivered to homes during that time
it was a Frates restaurant till 2003 when it was purchased by a local couple who continued it as an ice cream stand, only to put it up for sale again in 2005.
G&S Pizza purchased the property at that time and still sells local Bliss Dairy Ice Cream in the warmer months as a nod to the historic landmark bottle

And across the road is Pa Raffas, an Italian restaurant, there is also a Ma Raffas restaurant, I may be wrong but if I remember correctly someone told me the Mother of the family runs Ma's and the Father Pa's

I like this milk bottle building, have never seen such a building. Do you know if there are rooms inside? I can't see a window, but it must be cool to live in a milk bottle 😁

Milk Bottles, what a grand sight, wish the milk still arrived in bottled like that. Glass bottle used for mild and orange juice, delivered to the home about 30 years ago.
Milk bottle had silver caps and orange, well orange caps, superb photography don't know you other stores, look good and clean nonetheless well worth enjoying.

Ohh yeah I miss the days of the Glass milk bottles, I used to watch for the delivery each day, and drink one bottle as soon as it was delivered, musty to my parents annoyance lOL
We used to pop the lid to get the cream off the top, those days you actually had cream!
I still don't drink this watered down milk it's just not the same...
Ohh yeah it sure tastes and feels different these days, I seldom drink milk these days just have it on my cereal
Only ever a drop in coffee, cereal with plain yogurt and fruit. Milk with this 'long life' makes me nervous of what additives go in.
Yeah it sure isn’t what it used to be

Great bit of nostalgia. Seems like there should be a few of those around Vermont haha Milk bottle looks well maintained. Thats always nice to see. They don't build 'em like that anymore so once these nostalgic buildings are gone their gone. Thanks for including the history. Fun post. Happy Friday
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
When I looked them up I saw a few in RI and MA, not sure if I saw any listed as in vermont
Have a great day

I wonder if the milk bottle doubles up as a storage above!
Hehehe!
Hmmm o do wonder I would be intrigued to find out
A milk bottle looks like a simple architecture to just have but it's beautiful. Doesn't look kike it was built as more than just an aesthetic though. Would have been cool if people could get inside it.
Yeah it is a cool and fun design
Wouldn’t it be cool 😎 f it had an apartment in it
That would be dope.
Ohh yeah for sure
Ohhh I've always wanted to make my own marketfriday post from the very first time @dswigle talked about its launch but when I get to the market and take just a picture, I get so carried away with activities and negotiations that I totally forget to continue to take record.
I don't remember until I'm on a taxi back home and then I realize that the one picture I took isn't enough to make a post!😪😪
That has happenned to me as well, one day you will remember to get enough phototos to make a post ;)
I'm really looking forward to it!
Thanks😊
👍🙂👍
Wow!!!! rooftop bottle! it's definitely unique - it's the first time I've seen it. great idea and amazing execution!
First one of these I have seen as well such a cool idea
This one looks cool and it makes me wonder what the other milk bottle buildings look like.
I hope to get some trips in and find more of them :)
