Photo Challenge #442

Posted on June 18, 2023 | 18 Comments

Back in the day, everyone who got a traffic ticket in Westport — or any other citation — had to appear before a judge.

Fortunately, they did not have to to far. We had our own court.

It was in the same building as police headquarters.

It’s long gone. But “Town Court” is still there, etched in marble and facing Jesup Road.

The subject of last week’s Photo Challenge, it evoked memories from attorneys, former police officers and speeders. All had close encounters of the Circuit Court kind.

Other readers, who moved here long after it moved to Norwalk, have noticed (and wondered about) it.

Bob Grant, Adam Starr, Gloria Gouveia, Dave Eason, Fred Cantor, John McCarthy, Art Hayes, Jan Carpenter, Beth Berkowitz, Diane Silfen, Rich Diviney, Dick Alley, Pete Powell, Mary Ann Batsell, Lawrence Zlatkin, Peter Hirst and Cheryl Petrone all answered correctly. They each win a “get out of jail free” card, courtesy of “06880.”

This week’s Photo Challenge is tougher. If you know where in Westport you’d see this, click “Comments” below.
