In an ever-changing business landscape, there are a few Westport institutions:
Gault. Mitchells.
And Gold’s.
The Compo Shopping Center delicatessen hasn’t changed much in 65 years.
The food is still great. The staff is familiar and helpful.
And the décor — well, that’s not why you go there.
But it doesn’t hurt to look up, and see a giant pickle on the wall. (Click here to see.)
That was the subject of last week’s Photo Challenge. It was a no-brainer for a slew of “06880” readers.
Pat Saviano, Fred Cantor, Andrew Colabella, Seth Braunstein, Jack Backiel, Dave Eason, Craig Clark, Jamie Walsh, Bobbie Herman and Paul Cahill all knew exactly where to find that pickle.
And where, no doubt, it will still be 65 years from now.
This week’s Photo Challenge might be our toughest ever.
So here are a few hints:
- Think about an outdoor winter activity.
- One that’s often followed by hot chocolate.
- In Westport, we do it by the shore.
- We can do it alone, or with pals.

Looking down into the Saugatuck River from the Ruth Steinkraus Cohen Memorial Bridge while sipping a hot chocolate from Starbucks…..thinking about “The River of Names” mural…wondering where it is and how it is doing in this holiday season……..hoping for it’s return in the spring.

Not the hockey rink down where Goodwill is now? Then our players did not have to compute to Darien to practice at 4:30 a.m.
Just one more thing to fall to Post-Condo Road. But we do have a $110K Jumbathon at the football field. Now that is progress.

Gold’s is, truly, a Westport treasure. And the “decor” is exactly as it should be…what, in all the world, could make it better; it is what it was, and that’s the secret.
