The old Positano’s — and before that, Cafe de la Plage, other restaurants and (way back in the day) grocery stores — was demolished today. Soon, a 4-bedroom home will take its place.

Does anyone know when that structure was built?
Just curious how old it was.
Seems that it obviously held up to any kind of weather and flooding, so it must have had excellent structural integrity.
Kinda a shame to see it torn up like that.
But, it is what it is.
Sad
How sad……😪

This makes me so sad. I have so many memories of that restaurant.
Just another landmark of Westport …. Gone.
Wow, actually older than I would have guessed!
Thanks 😉
