The lower part of Jesup Green — by the Taylor parking lot, between the grass and the Saugatuck River — has been a bit of a time warp.
Things exist there that have not been seen, or used, for decades.
Only (very) recently were signs for the Minnybus stop removed. The last diesel bus deposited riders at its central hub 40 years ago.
Nearby, 3 plastic thingamajigs sit. Once upon a time, they were filled with free newspapers — the kind advertising homes for sale, entertainment options, and the like. (Click here to see.)
Those papers are long gone. But the stands still stand, unused and ugly.
They could be called eyesores — except most people look right past them.
Not Elaine Marino, Andrew Colabella, Christy Charise, Morley Boyd, Charlotte Epstein, Cathy Malkin, Amy Schneider, Phil Kann, Sal Liccione, Lynn Untermeyer Miller, Ivy Gosseen and Linda Vita Velez, though.
They all knew the answer to last week’s Photo Challenge.

Town hall just outside the entrance to auditorium.
Town hall by the auditorium
Town Hall auditorium?
town hall
On the right hand wall at the entrance to the Town Hall auditorium. I might have hung it there along with other RTM ceremonial displays. Although it could have been moved.
Sending you good wishes Patty! Happy Thanksgiving.
Hi💕
On the building just before the former Patagonia store.
Oops! I was wrong!
Nancie, you were thinking of the old Westport Bank and Trust Trust Department sign, which was later paid homage to by the Spin Department sign a PR agency in the same building put up. It does look like the work of the same artist.
Nancie, you’re such a jokester!
Ralph Sheffer was the RTM moderator so Town Hall —as everyone has commented—makes sense
Wonderful sign. Hanging on the wall at Town Hall, in front of the auditorium.
Correct! Town Hall auditorium (right side of the lobby), honoring longtime moderator Ralph Sherfer.
