“out of town guests staying at the Holiday Inn for the weekend.” Did I miss something? An opening or a re-opening? Just how much does having a downtown hotel mean to the largest city in the state?
What does it say when entertainment seems to be the major thrust of folks doing Economic Development on the public payroll? Aren’t these the folks who hear whispers before they become rumors, mutterings, discussions, and finally documents in multiple offices after a land or business deal?
Last night I attended a movie screened for a Bridgeport audience with immediate relevance to local people titled The FIRST STEP at The Bijou Theatre on Fairfield Avenue. It dealt with the struggle for criminal justice reform, and the lengths to which Van Jones went to find bi-partisan support across political and social divisions to make progress. Lyle and Lonny Jones and Louis Reed have Bridgeport history and the audience nearly filled the filming and discussion afterwards;
Listen to the dialogue. Eyes open to the action. A learning experience to tell a story of change? Time will tell.
