The Westport Library café is a great place to hang out.
The coffee and food are delicious. The view of the river is spectacular. You’re never rushed, and there’s no music playing (loudly) in the background.
But who looks at the ceiling, as they enjoy their time?
Andrew Colabella, Ed Simek, Beth Berkowitz, Seth Schachter, Wendy Schaefer and Tom Feeley — that’s who.
They’re the 6 alert readers who quickly identified the Library café ceiling as the image in last week’s Photo Challenge. (Click here to see.)
Congratulations — you really know what’s up down at the library.

Two things can be true at once.
And our Photo Challenge can have two answers.
The photo (taken by yours truly) shows a photo (by Richard Frank), which hangs in the Westport Library stairwell nearest the cafe. It’s part of the Westport Public Art Collections.
But there’s another print of the same image. You’ll find it at Gold’s Delicatessen.
It might be in some private collections in town too. It captures the powerful, yet playful, Muhammad Ali perfectly.
I met and spoke to Ali a few weeks after the 9-11 attacks. I was at Pier 92 doing some followup work on one of the Westport victims. He was very chatty and engaged.
In the library about 40 feet from the cafe on the stairwell.
