How about moving the Burroughs Library to the City Hall Annex? Make it a library/technology center.

Keep the current building as a book repository, historical research center and meeting location.

I have not been on here in a while!!! But I must say I’d rather have Dodd as my sen than some right-wing nut.

*** Since it has a safe, the Chase side of the building can become the new city V/S site. Seems much larger than the present one @ McLevy Hall which is in dire straits you might say. *** And as far as Dodd is concerned, it’s time for a change from the same old Dem. song & dance. *** The council leadership seems to be taking its marching orders from the Finch Admin. concerning the Walsh phone dilemma? This can get pretty ugly if not handled privately between the two district alderpersons & the council leadership come the new year! ***

Question for the Black Rock little leaguers. If there are no facilities there now, just where exactly do the little darlings pee? I would venture to say that they pee in the bushes and behind the trees. Isn’t a proper bathroom a more sanitary solution?

If Chase is moving out, what is the City going to do with that building? They need to move everyone in there or move everyone out of there. The few depts on the 2nd floor (with spacious, newly renovated offices) do not warrant keeping that building. What’s the plan? Is there one?

Good point on the basketball courts. I lived across the street from the park for a few years when they had basketball courts. But then the rims didn’t have nets. Was it because white guys can’t jump?

*** Amazing how the city insists on putting a bathroom @ the Ellsworth Park, even with some of the nearby neighborhood residents opposition; yet it took years after the fixer upper @ Wentfield Park to get a bathroom with so many neighborhood residents in favor of it since the park is used by so many! ***

In Black Rock it must be a fine feeling in the good weather to open your front door and be faced with a “Crapper” as in Sir Thomas Crapper.
This is city planning at it best; considering it’s Bridgeport.
I would like to suggest a statue of Patrick (Paul) Timpanelli, in Bronze at the intersection of Brewster and Ellsworth, taking a dump where the roads go left or right; can you just see him with his pants bundled around his ankles, smiling I hope, for all eternity, for what he has done for Bridgeport? Good job on the BOE audit Timpanelli, although I think you’ve been sitting down on the job.
Class act zoning board! And you have added some royalty to it, Sir Crapper and you are descendants of him.
