Westport may be the only place in the world where a Tiffany store sits within sight of a homeless shelter.
Most of downtown Westport is not so extreme. As high-end as our shops are, most are not in Tiffany’s league. And the Gillespie Center — despite its important central location — is the only place like it around.
Still, in the holiday spirit, here’s an “06880” suggestion: If you can afford to shop at Tiffany’s, please consider walking a few yards up the street giving something — anything — to the men at the homeless shelter.
