Massachusetts Route 49
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Route 49 runs from Route 9 in Spencer to U.S. Route 20 in Sturbridge, going through East Brookfield. At six miles in length, it is principally a two lane highway with a 55 MPH speed limit.
Although the road is officially designated, in Spencer and East Brookfield, as Philip Quinn Memorial Highway, the entire length of the highway is commonly known as the Podunk Pike, after Podunk Road and the Podunk section of East Brookfield, which it bypasses.

Twice the projectile used was a rock; once the projectile was a bottle of suntan lotion. The projectile used in the most recent incident has yet to be recovered.
