Thanks for chiming in. I hoped you would. Anybody else care to make a positive suggestion?
Between current events, social issues and politics, there’s less and less opportunity it seems, for an activist to opine on topics of pure joy, like watching the University of Connecticut’s, woman’s basketball team, win well-played games in the NCAA March Madness tournament. Good luck to the women Huskies this weekend against Indiana. I think we should be proud of the fact that the NCAA and the University of Connecticut chose Bridgeport to host part of their March Madness Tournament. Maybe in the near future we could figure out a way to raise the stature of Bridgeport in several fundamental ways, to be truly worthy of such an honor.
A daytime post by Little Stevie A during work time hours, oh nevermind he’s only giving the name of places to eat in Bridgeport. I see that you are on the DTC now you are really important in your own mind.
