Westport’s Splash-less summer is nearing an end. The waterside restaurant at Longshore — and its very popular patio bar — closed last winter.
A new tenant — Pearl of Longshore — is leasing space from the town. But renovations are going slowly.
Very slowly.
As in, making the North Avenue/Merritt Parkway bridge project look like warp speed.
The steps to Splash.
Today, for example, no one was working.
The target date of December probably won’t be met.
And if the current pace proceeds, we may be looking at a 2nd Splash-less summer next year.

…and outdoors.
Meanwhile, a full crew has been hard at work in Saugatuck.
They’re transforming the venerable Mansion Clam House into a very good looking Parker Steak House.
A new look for an old building.
Sheetrocking is set for this week. They seem confident they’ll be done in 2 months.

When the workers are done at Parker Steak House, perhaps they can head over the river. A new job is waiting.
