Last week’s Photo Challenge showed the base of a Main Street lamppost.
Andrew Colabella, Jacqui Bidgood, Ed Simek, Seth Schachter, Micheal Simso, Scott Brodie, Sal Liccione and Wendy Schaefer all correctly identified it: in front of the Lux Bond & Green shopping plaza, near Brandy Melville.
I’m not surprised our readers identified it quickly: It’s big, visible, and in a very prominent location. (Click here to see.)
But I expected at least one complaint about all the stickers stuck to it. Westporters seldom miss a chance to comment on visual pollution. For whatever reason, this one got a pass.
Fun fact: The lamppost sits in front of what used to be called Brooks Corner. It was named not for the Brooks Brothers store there, but for Brooks Community Newspaper’s Westport News, which used to have its offices there. The Brooks family owned the small shopping/office plaza.
Now it’s called something like “Main & Elm” or “Elm & Main” — so forgettable, I forgot it.
This week’s Photo Challenge is below. If you know where in Westport you’d see it, click “Comments” below.

Correct – the “blue house” (no longer that color) diagonally across from Old Mill Grocery & Deli.
THAT house on Hillspoint !
Is that red primer for the door or the final paint job?
