Sidewalks Still On Sale

Every year around this time, I trot out the same lame joke. It’s Sidewalk Sale time downtown, so I say: “Why would anyone want to buy a sidewalk?”

Ba-dum!

This year though, I was all set to tee up a new version. With Main Street sidewalks torn up in the midst of a renovation project, I thought I’d say:
“Times are so tough, you can’t even buy a sidewalk now.”

Ba-DUM!

Fortunately for the Westport Downtown Merchants Association — if not for my “humor” — this weekend’s Sidewalk Sale should go just ducky. Construction will not force racks of clothes and women’s shoes onto the road. They’ll stay right where they belong: on the sidewalk.

Both sides of Main Street are open for business. And if you don’t find what you want, just keep shopping the old-fashioned way.

(The Sidewalk Sale is set for Friday through Sunday, July 10-12, on Main Street and surrounding areas.)
