Clark R. ("Red") Shelton owned Red's Rite Spot, a restaurant on Maynard Street.

Red's was in the space where Frank's restaurant is today. The layout and the food were similar to what Frank's has been offering since. Red and his crew were quite irreverent with customers but all in good fun. I am pretty sure that the building of the Tower Plaza was the cause of Red's closing. The construction closed Maynard for many months. One day I remember finding a sign in the window that said something like "Tuesday, Red went broke."

A notorious publicity photo for the fourth ONCE Festival featured a "voluptuous nude reclining on the lunch counter of a well-known eatery called Red's Rite Spot".
