Spiderman has Doctor Octopus, Superman has Lex Luthor. Sherlock Holmes has Professor Moriarty, Jerry Seinfeld has Newman and Fred Goode has Beth Shorten.
Yes, before I get a barrage of angry e-mails, I know that Beth is too nice to really be Fred’s arch-enemy; I grew up across the street from her grandfather. But she has an uncanny ability to solve some of the more difficult Where In Verona contests on some of the thinnest of clues. How else to explain that she divined the location of Week 43–the Verona High School baseball field–from a closeup of a garbage can and a fence cap?
Ladies and gentlemen, if you want to win one of MyVeronaNJ.com’s signature baseball caps before Beth does again, you have just nine contests left. Which means that you have to begin to think like Beth’s arch-enemy. So strap on your mechanical arms, grab your kryptonite and channel your inner criminal mastermind (or mail carrier), and start guessing. The rules are the same as always: Real name and real e-mail address in the Comments field below.
UPDATE: We’ve added a second third fourth fifth photo.

What no photo 2 yet? (come on it’s 6:02). And couldn’t you have gone with Batman has his Catwoman? Lex Luther is bald and Dr. Octopus??? (Well sometimes I feel like I do need a couple of extra arms and my son does like marine life). I have no clue, but I’m guessing…Henry’s Fine Foods.
The puppy slept in and so did I. I think we are both looking for a visual clue–like sunshine–to know that it is morning.
And now that I have had a cup of coffee, I can say 1) It’s not Henry’s and 2) You can be Catwoman if you like.
Kings Supermarket
I don’t anyone has ever guessed King’s before. But that’s not where it is.
Ace Painting?
Another new guess, and again, not the right location.
Have we done Frank Anthony’s yet?
Yes, back in February. https://myveronanj.com/2011/02/01/where-in-verona-is-it-frank-anthonys/
HBW
Hmmm. I understand why the paint cans might have led you to that conclusion, but not the Board of Health sign. In short, No.
Wild guess but, Boiler Room at VHS? aka The Room where the Janitor hung out and was always locked.
There’s a loooooong story behind that answer, I’m sure. But that’s not where we are.
Keeping with Julie’s idea about the High School, is there a home economics classroom there that may be what Fred is trying to hide this week?
Alas, home ec was routed from the high school last year to squeeze in a state-mandated course in financial literacy. No kidding.
ok, then, your turn Beth…
Thanks Jeff…just call me Catwoman…or maybe I’d rather go with Nancy Drew…my guess: 7 11?
back to you Jeff.
I feel like the ref at a volleyball game, but I think I need to tell you both that it might be time to call in the second string. Not 7-11.
That last photo just scares me! Tortilla Sunrise? (Jeff…we’re waiting….)
That’s Fred for you.
Not Tortilla Sunrise…
Verona Diner?
I’ve never seen anything that color on the menu.
Canine Designs? (Where is Jeff? He’s overdue for a good idea)
That was Week 31. https://myveronanj.com/2011/04/14/where-in-verona-was-it/
Petco (Think it’s technically in Verona).
It is technically in Verona. It’s just not where we are for the contest this week.
All Breed Cat & Dog Grooming? Or should I just Google Scary Looking Red things?
I think you should Google scary looking red things.
Fred, I think you may need to buy these people a vowel…
Trend
Alas no.
Verona variety
Nope. New clue going up in about 30 seconds.
Terrys?
I guess I should have looked at the list I had asked for in the first place. I thought we already did Terry’s. Not on the list so let’s wrap this week up…
I know you both want to head out to the beach but guess what? It’s not Terry’s.
I guess you put me in my place. I will leave the other similar guess to someone else since it’s still early.
Then how about Center Drug?
Learning Express?
Amazing Savings? Fred is really making it tough this time.
Trend.
In this flurry of guesses, we finally have the right answer. Jeff Hagaman, you have won your second hat. It is Learning Express. We’ll get the rest of the photos up soon.
Beth, we both got clobbered on this one. What I want to know is, why would Learning Express need a Board of Health License? That’s what threw me off. Nice job once again Fred. And our (MyVeronaNJ) hats off to Mr Hagaman. Have a great weekend all.
