Lynn Untermeyer’s Downtown

Posted on December 18, 2024 | 20 Comments

Growing up in Westport, Lynn Untermeyer Miller loved downtown.

She’s never lost that affection.

And — in her years as a professional photographer (as was her father, the beloved Larry Untermeyer) — she often trains her eye on the sights and scenes we sometimes miss on Main Street.

The holidays are a special time for downtown, and for Lynn.

The other day she headed there, for the “06880”/Westport Downtown Association Holiday Stroll.

Here are a few images, perfect for the season.

    Lynn: it depicts a much more upscale downtown than George Bailey’s but it evokes the same kind of feeling. Two thumbs up!

      Thanks, Fred! I wonder though, if George Bailey ever encountered a few friendly pigs on his holiday stroll?!!
      Happy Holidays to you and Debbie!!
