Residents of the Compo Beach neighborhood are the envy of many Westporters.
They’re a few steps from the water. They enjoy salt air, and magical sunrises, sunsets and moonlight. The vibe is as cool as it gets.
But they give a lot too (and not just to the hordes who overrun them on Halloween). The area draws walkers, joggers, bikers and everyone else, at all hours of the day.
They share their well-kept streets with everyone in town.
Which, I suppose, is how and why so many “06880” readers quickly identified the site of last week’s Photo Challenge.
The Jeff Koons-inspired sculpture sits on the lawn of a home on the corner of Bradley Street and Danbury Avenue. If it was somewhere else in Westport, most folks would probably never see it. (Click here for the photo.)
But 100 yards or so from Soundview Drive, many of us do.
Ed Simek, Paul Rohan, Andrew Colabella, Jonathan McClure, Michael Szeto, Celia Campbell Mohn, Nadine Tanen, Janet Albert, Seth Schachter, John Lisée, Pam Kesselman and Cat Malkin all got it right.
Say hi to them the next time you see them at the beach.
Before that though, turn your attention to this week’s Photo Challenge.

Correction: there’s a couple in town with this fixture but based on appearance and age, I’m changing answer to Canal Park BOE facility

Andrew: The second time is the charm. It is the Board of Ed maintenance facility next to Canal Park (former Bridgeport Hydraulic site) on Canal Street, where it turns into Kings Highway North.
I believe its the town maintenance and Board of Ed Facility. The same building where the attractive door was included in a recent photo challenge.
