Two decorative spheres — one on each side of the entrance road — greet visitors to Longshore (or “Longshore Club Park,” as no one except town officials call it).
One of them was the subject of last week’s Photo Challenge (click here to see).
It was an easy one. Seth Schachter, Diane Silfen, Brian Taylor, Jonathan McClure, Ed Creevy, Lynn Untermeyer Miller, Michael Szeto, John McKinney, Pat Saviano, Matt McGrath, Amy Schneider, Seth Braunstein, Andrew Colabella and Tom Feeley all checked in quickly with the right answer.
FUN FACT: For decades, a pair of small “foo dogs” (also known as “Chinese guardian lions”) sat behind the marble globes. How and why they go there were mysteries, but the few folks who noticed them always wondered.
In 2022 (or perhaps earlier), they disappeared. They’ve never been seen again. Click here for that “06880” story.
There’s no great back story behind today’s Photo Challenge. But if you know where in Westport you’d see this, click “Comments” below.
