Photo Challenge #595

Westport is — or was — a “Tree City USA.”

We’ve got a sign to prove it.

It’s right there on Jesup Green.

But 1) the honor might be outdated, and 2) not many people ever notice the sign. (Click here to see.)

Morley Boyd, Lynn Untermeyer Miller, Robert Mitchell and Sal Liccione were the 4 who did, when we posted last week’s “Photo Challenge.”

And no one offered up a back story about it.

So it’s on to this week’s puzzler.

If you know where in Westport you’d see this, click “Comments” below.
