Photo Challenge #496

Many of our Photo Challenges are visible from the street.

Last week’s was not.

The Westport Striped Bass Club leaderboard (though without any leaders) is planted firmly behind VFW Joseph J. Clinton Post 399, at the Riverside Avenue/ Saugatuck Avenue fork.

It’s on the Saugatuck River, by the VFW docks.

Four readers knew that. Fittingly, all are longtime — very longtime — Westporters: Andrew Colabella, Jeff Arciola, Dave Eason and Richard W. Alley.

They know this town as well as anyone. From the front to the back.

PS: Andrew notes that the VFW is fundraising. They want to dredge the marina, and expand their docks. Click here to help,

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

    And it’s not at any of the other spots mentioned so far, either.

    Keep guessing …
