The Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Westport is hosting a “Candlelight Vigil for Hope and Peace” tonight, from 7 to 9 p.m.
The invitation says, “Come together for a collective sigh, some tears, laughter and mutual support.”
================================================
Compo Acres Shopping Center specializes in several types of businesses: food, fashion and fitness.
Row House is closed. But a different kind of fitness “house” moves in next month.
SweatHouz is the brainchild of longtime friends Adam Peterson and Brian Liberty.
It will offer private contrast therapy suite, each with an infrared sauna, cold plunge and en suite Vitamin C shower.
The goal is to reduce inflammation, manage pain, improve immunity and sleep, boost mood, improve recovery, burn calories and improve performance.
SweatHouz plunge tub.
Anderson describes a “boutique, high-end, hotel-type feel.” Users can set the temperature for their cold plunge through an app.
Sessions — available singly, or through packages — are 60 minutes. Clients choose whatever options they like, from contrasts to just a sauna and shower.
The Westport owners like their new neighbors, including SoulCycle and the bizarrely punctuated [solidcore].
“We’re not competing with fitness centers,” Peterson says. “People work out elsewhere, and get their recovery here.”
It doesn’t hurt that there are a couple of spots for healthy food nearby, like Sweetgreen (next door) and Pokeworks. (As well as Cobs Bread, and of course Trader Joe’s.)

==================================================
The Downtown Plan Implementation Committee meeting scheduled for November 14 has been rescheduled for Thursday, November 21 (8:30 a.m., Town Hall room 201/201A).
Meanwhile, the Long Lots School Building committee announced yesterday that they will hold a special meeting today (Wednesday, November 6, Town Hall Room 309).
They’ll hear a project update, convene a work session to review conceptual parking concepts and conceptual elevations, and open the meeting up to public comment.
==================================================
A bear spotted on Sturges Highway on Halloween night seems to continue lurking in the area.
Ben James spotted him yesterday, on nearby Catamount Road.
“I guess it’s too warm to hibernate,” Ben says.

Leaves are falling fast. There are only a few days left to enjoy “Westport … Naturally” scenes like this.

Before we know it, we’ll be on to winter!

And finally … a throwback to November, 2016:

Thanks for the book-ended effort, Dan. Its going to take more than one session of Unitarian Comfort Hugs or endless snippits of SNL humor, though! Still, I’ve been through 1972 (Massachusetts, the One & Only), so square your shoulders, young person, this “last best hope of earth” is worth it. Oh, and buckle up, its going to be an even more bumpy ride and the creek is rising, too — and I don’t mean Deadman’s Brook: “We’re waist deep in the Big Muddy . . . .”
Well said….
Dan, any time for the Long Lots meeting today?
Also, the hostage signs are down again!!!
“I guess it’s too warm to hibernate,” Ben says.
It’s not quite time for them to den yet, and bears are not true hibernators.
