What Color Lights On Your Tree?

Well the tree we got from our sponsor J.P. Philbin at 3369 Fairfield Avenue in Bridgeport is up and lit.  I had to wait a few days expecting the cats to take it down, particularly the kitten.  Surprise!  They just want to drink the water from the tree, not the filtered ice water they get 3 times a day! When we put up a natural tree we like to do all white lights.  We've thought of all blue another color but this is what we always choose.  When we do the artificial tree we prefer multi- colored lights.   What do you do?

Look Who’s DoingItLocal!

I felt like I was sent back in time when I visited the Famous Fifties Diner at 472 Huntington Turnpike in Bridgeport.  I met with Kathryn Sanchez who opened the diner in April with her husband.  The first thing you notice is the Coca Cola red and white color theme and all the 50's memorabilia on the walls.  I wanted to point out that there was something wrong with the flat screen above the counter seating but then it dawned on me they intentionally wanted it to display in black and white!
