Michele Shiller-Beaulac won week 1 (Anthony Francos Pizza) and Beth Shorten won week 2 (Olive That And More!). Will week 3 of the reboot of “Where In Verona Is It?” be your week to win?
Every day this week, we’ll be posting Fred Goode’s photos of a location somewhere in Verona, and you’ll get to guess where it is. This week, we’re only posting one photo on day one, instead of the three that we posted during the opening days of the first two weeks. Don’t worry, there will be more as the week progresses.
As we’ve said before, the clues will only be posted here on the site (and not on MyVeronaNJ.com’s social media), and you’ll need to post your guesses here in our comments section. You must post under your real name and email address, so we know who to reach with the weekly prize: A MyVeronaNJ.com T-shirt. If nobody gets the correct answer by Friday night, Fred is the winner.

Alberona?
Two people guess Alberona minutes apart. And you know what? Neither of you is correct.
Bunkys auto shop
Bunky’s was week 9 of the original “Where In Verona” and Fred Goode doesn’t like to repeat locations. It’s not Bunky’s.
Verona Auto Repair on Bloomfield?
Not sure what you mean by Verona Auto Repair. If you’re guessing Alberona, we told the people who guessed Alberona yesterday that it’s not Alberona.

Verona sports center
Fred Hill Sports Academy
No, sorry. Not the Sports Academy and not the Sports Center.

Interesting guess. But no.
It’s new, so it wouldn’t have been part of the original “Where”. But no, it’s not Mt. Pleasant Animal Shelter Consignment Shop.

I’m sorry.. I meant.. it’s near—sleepys mattress store
M3 Crane?
No, it’s not Pep Boys, which is next to Sleepy’s but used to be a Chrysler dealership (back in the day).
No, not Pep Boys.
You can try it, but that’s still not the answer.
While we’ll admit that we don’t know much about M3 Crane (way out on Grove) we know that it’s not the answer. Sorry.

Somebody guessed this yesterday. It wasn’t correct then either.
No, not the recycling center.

Children’s Institute Bloomfield and Sunset
That’s quality thinking—-but not the right answer.

No, but don’t give up. Come back for the lighting round tomorrow. We have a lot more Fred Goode photos of this week’s location and we’re going to roll them out over the day.
No, not the Public Works garage. Come back for the lightning round tomorrow.
Thanks for the clarification but that’s not the right answer.
