I love the sticker. Where can I get one?
… but it helps.
I was thinking….when did rudeness arrive in town? Thoughts?
The last 20 years?
We spend time in Florida and it’s amazing how friendly everyone we meet is.
It’s not just Westport. It’s a good question. How can any one of us make the change or what can we do collectively?
Touche! I’d like to see one that says “be kind to each other we are all just visiting”
Sad
My guess is things significantly changed around the time when the Gap arrived and Kleins departed downtown along with most Westporters.
Clearly you haven’t visited The Gap owned store that I work at on Main Street! Many of my fellow coworkers are longtime Westport residents, they volunteer in our schools, participate in local charitable organizations, pay Westport taxes and help make Westport the wonderful town that it is. The notion that our Main Street stores are staffed entirely by non Westport residents is just wrong.
I agree…the Gap store reference is totally bizarre….unless it was an odd “bookmark” to a particular year (still odd!)
Dan, remember I told you about 9 months ago I spotted that sticker at the
S & S!! I’m glad someone finally got a photo of it.
