It’s gorgeous! Thank you all!
6:30 is the best time on a clock, hands down. Your timing was great for that photo, Dan.
Ummm…have you had your vision checked lately?
Bill, When I wrote my comment the clock said 6:30 because I’m on the west coast. You know… three hour difference.
Does anybody really know what time it is?
Does anybody really care about time?
You know I can’t imagine why..
time is my side
😜
Time has come today.
Okay.. I’m going to be serious and make a bold prediction. If you think about it, clocks sometimes become famous and help identify a place. You’ve got Big Ben in London, the famous clock in Grand Central Station and there’s others. This clock will eventually have a name which will give it a Westport identity. Anyone have any ideas? Maybe ask the Staples students for suggestions as a fun assignment? Maybe get the media involved and get some free publicity?
Great addition to downtown!
How does calling it “Little Big Ben” sound??
Too much of an oxymoron?
If you could put a small bench near the clock, or under it, you’ll start hearing things like,”Hey, I’ll meet you under the clock at 2:30 pm.”
