Back in the sixties Woody Guthrie played at the Mooncusser, the iconic coffee house that was next door to Phillips Hardware store on Circuit avenue. His son Arlo, who played at the high school for the Nantucket Nectar festival, is famous for the popular Alice’s Restaurant that is played every Thanksgiving on our own WMVY-FM. The song’s catchy refrain: “You can get anything you want at Alice’s Restaurant” suggests the goods one can get at Phillips — Oak Bluffs’ 87-year-old hardware store.
