Hmmm, The Goonies. Chronicle of the Finch administration?
“Bonzo goes to Bridgeport.”
Bonzo is the mayor of Bridgeport. I did not know they made a movie about the members of the council.
This as usual is not an initiative of Finch, this movie night at Baldwin Plaza. It was a big success last year. He shadows things ’til they become a success then claims credit for it. I enjoyed these movies at Baldwin Plaza as well as other events for years, however I cannot stomach Finch’s speeches and phoneyisms. Too bad.
Whatever happened to the “Cougar?”
This sounds like a great initiative. I remember stopping down when Keith Rodgerson attempted to get a crowd down there by Metric Bar. It is nice good-hearted humor I am sure, but it would be nice to commend the initiative as a positive good-natured effort to bring life downtown. Does anyone really think it is the Mayor’s job to pull exciting initiatives out of his ass? The fact he is surrounding himself with people who occasionally come up with something creative is commendable, no?
