Where would you find a wooden sculpture of a court jester, ringed with light bulbs?
On the wall at Little Pub @ Dunville’s, of course.
We’re not sure why he’s there. We can’t remember how long.
But 8 readers knew exactly where they’d find the subject of last week’s Photo Challenge. (Click here to see.)
Congratulations to Dave Eason, Bruce Taylor, Jim McKay, Sal Liccione, Robert Mitchell, Jonathan McClure, Seth Schachter and Rachel Sara Halperin. You know your restaurant décor.
And if anyone knows how or why that guy is hanging at Little Pub: We’d love to hear the back story.
Now on to the next course: this week’s challenge.
It’s got its own back story.
Mark Mathias sent it along for a Roundup item. He was intrigued because there is a button for pedestrians to push to keep the light red on all sides as they cross.
But there is no pedestrian crossing. And it’s in an area where there is no reason for anyone to walk.
Strange. It didn’t work well for the Roundup. But we’ve repurposed it for our Photo Challenge.
If you know where in Westport you’d see it, click “Comments” below.

Very easy, for sure. Congrats to all!
I still wonder why a button to cross a street would be placed where there are no sidewalks, crosswalks, entering streets or other traffic that would warrant a button or a traffic light.
I believe it was installed for the people who choose to park in the commuter lot opposite Westport’s Hwy Department and walk up to Sherwood Island…not a smart move but people do it all summer to beat the entry fee!

It’s funny, I haven’t been back to Westport in years and yet I instantly recognized that intersection.
I puked on that island heading back to Bridgeport after theta kick ass Heron Lake Lane Halloween party!
Sorry Westport!
That looks very much like the intersection of the Sherwood Island Connector with Nyala Farms Road.
