Tropicland re-opens as Riverside B&T

[eelskimmer]

Tropicland in Dedham re-opened today as Riverside B&T in the
same location on Bridge Street (rt 109). Larry Mathews was busy
today getting his inventory into display and noted that he will not be
offering boats, kayaks, tropical fish etc but limiting his inventory to
fishing tackle and live bait. Those who know Larry are aware he was
forced to close last Spring and auction his stock due to a court order .
Larry was a good friend of MSBA and consistenly contributed to
MSBA functions. He was at this same location for 20-30 years. Lets hope he is successful in getting his old customers back. Drop by and give him your support. Brian who used to do the boat engine repair and maintenance for Larry and who a lot of you know is still available but now works on engines in your yard. He can be reached thru Larry.
