Adventure Car Hop
Saugus, Mass

One place that definitely was famous in Massachusetts was Adventure Car Hop located on Route 1 in Saugus Mass.  How many of us growing up in the 60's listened to Woo Woo Ginsberg on WMEX AM radio?
  Arnie "Woo-Woo" Ginsberg was heard from 7pm until 10pm from 1958 to 1965 and besides lots of great tunes we heard this famous advertising slogan.  Oh Adventure Car Hop is the place to go, for food that's always right, Adventure food is always just so, you'll relish every bite, It's out on Route One in Saugus, come dressed just as you are, Adventure, where the service is tops, and you never gets out of your car!

The Enchanted Forest
Hope, RI

In 2005, the park unfortunally closed.
