Is it true the big Comey interview with George Stephanopoulos was actually filmed at his Westport house?
I doubt it. It was sold in January.
As a life member of the original vigilant volunteer fire department that shot brings back memories. Decades ago the Vigilant Fire House was a center of activity for the “West Side of the Bridge” When the fire whistle blew the stores and Bars emptied out. Merchants dropped their aprons and along with patrons ran to the firehouse to jump on a truck!
