Photo Challenge #531

Most Photo Challenges show a Westport scene that’s been here a while.

That’s why it’s a “challenge.” The goal is to be difficult — not impossible.

But every once in a while, you get a curveball.

Last week’s Photo Challenge showed a sign (“A Life Without Anything Good is Bad”) inside a place that serves food. (The hint: a napkin dispenser on a table. Click here to see.)

I figured since the Van Leeuwen ice cream shop opened to large crowds on Church Street last month, it would be familiar to many “06880” readers.

Then again, it’s still winter. We’re not exactly in mid-ice cream season.

Still, 3 readers — Andrew Colabella, Rachel Sara Halperin and Joelle Malec — nailed the challenge.

If I ran this a few months from now, many more would have.

Speaking of winter: It’s been 67 days since Christmas. We’re closer to May Day than to that holiday.

Yet a wreath and lights still decorate one very popular Westport institution. If you know where you’d see this week’s Photo Challenge, click “Comments” below.

  4. Of course, the Y. But the real question is: Y doesn’t the Y have a solid portico so members will be protected in the rain, snow, and all inclement weather, especially children waiting to be picked up by their parents?
