Flashback Friday: Do You Remember...?

ENFIELD, CT — In this weekly series, Enfield Patch remembers a business or landmark in town that is no longer in existence through publication of old advertisements from some 1960s-1980s Enfield and Fermi high school yearbooks and early-1960s to mid-1980s telephone directories and newspapers.

Today we return to the 1987 Fermi High School yearbook, and an ad from one of the more popular take-out eateries of the time, DiMartino's Giant Grinders.

Frank DiMartino became well-known for making the largest sandwiches in town, ranging from three to eight feet long. His shop was located in the Riverview Plaza at 167 Elm Street, directly across the street from Kosciuszko Junior High School, later to become Asnuntuck Community College.

The site had previously housed the Chuck Wagon and Riverview restaurants, and currently is home to Matt's Sportscards and Comics.

Frank DiMartino passed away in 2006 at age 68.

Enfield Patch invites readers to share their memories in the comments section below.
