Great shot!!!
Mr.: Officer Cribari was a wonderful person with a singular charm. I miss him.
The Old Westport was the best place to grow up in the 1960s and 1970s.

The holiday lights bring a smile to all who cross the bridge or pass through Saugatuck at this time of year. Thank you, Al’s Angels. But also remember that our iconic bridge, the oldest of its kind in the USA, has carried Westporters across the Saugatuck River since 1884. Though threats by the State of CT to replace the bridge seem to have gone quiet lately, plans will likely be resurrected soon enough. When that time comes, please remember how its lights lift your spirits at this time of year, and how Westporters have walked, trotted or driven over it for nearly 140 years.
