What a difference a comma makes.
Vanessa Bradford’s answer to last week’s photo challenge was: “Mansion Clam House dummy.”*
No, she was not referring to me. She was correctly identifying the subject of Peter Barlow’s photo: the jolly fisherman who for decades sat on the back roof of that popular Saugatuck restaurant. (Now it’s Parker Mansion — and the mannequin is gone.)
She was not the only one who quickly remembered the yellow-slicker clad guy. Others were Fred Cantor, Audrey Hertzel, Molly Alger, Michael Mombello, Andrew Colabella, Dan Herman, Jeff Giannone, Shirlee Gordon, Seth Braunstein, Fred Rubin, Elayne Landau, Diane Silfen, Jana Moorman, Michael Calise, Jacques Voris, Susan Feliciano, Bobbie Herman, Jamie Roth, Ken Palumbo and Amelie Babkie.

This week’s photo challenge might be harder. Then again, “06880” readers have their eyes open all over town. As always, if you know where in Westport you’d see this scene, click “Comments” below.

*The most famous example of the importance of commas: “Lets eat Grandma.”
Bedford Square passageway from Main Street.

Old back entrance to Y
In the ally off of main street to enter courtyard of old Y and enter Amis restaurant
It’s the walkway behind Bedford Square.

Definitely the walkway behind the old Y and Cafe Amis.

And of course that would be “Let’s eat Grandma,” not “Lets eat Grandma.”
Of course! That’s why you’re such a great proofreader!
No, it unless you’re practicing cannibalism, it should be “Let’s eat, Grandma.”
“What a difference a comma makes” is how the article begins. There is a great little book called “Eats, Shoots & Leaves” by Lynne Truss.
Sadly, apropos.

… but the guy with the sunglasses is new.
Is that in the walkway between Main Street and the new “square” (Bedford Square ??) behind Amis restaurant @ the old fire house??
Yes – you are all correct. It’s the Bedford Square alley, next to the construction of the old Bobby Q’s!

If only we could.
I walked back there on sat for the first time and was literally taken aback and wondered for a second, “where am I?”
