My dad had an accounting business on State Street for many years, and we would visit former clients on Saturdays either to help with taxes, or just social visits. He had many former clients he cherished as close friends because that's the kind of guy he was. Learned much from the "old timers", and now I am one of them. One was Gus Kuhn of Kuhn's Corner fame on Black Rock Turnpike. Deep fried Hummel hot dogs !

Yes, the people and firms that owned the old factories and slums held onto them hoping to make a fortune watching real estate prices rise. In the meantime Bridgeport fell into disrepair and fell behind the times. Thankfully, those people have passed away leaving leadership, not greed as their primary activity. Bridgeport could be a jewel.
The Democrat Party has destroyed a once great city. The mayor is a jailbird, the city councilman is a jailbird, the former state senator is facing federal indictment... the city needs to be taken over by the state. Republicans need to actually win elections
It's ALWAYS been democrat ran, as the entire state has been. it has nothing to do with party's but with demographics, plain, simple and ugly. When it was at its "grandest" it was populated by a 100 per cent Caucasian invaders (or "colonizers" 😒🤨🤫) . But when the "ethnically challenged" came in (some by force others by demand) the invaders felt threatened and or disgusted and ran into other towns, with their stolen treasures and their hipocrysies, and took their taxes with them. The city was left with its less fortunate, gainfully "unreliable" , hardworking - but not enough to sustain a city- taxpayer, and the plummet began.The big companies (even the government ran one's ), the circus and its head clown took off 🤡👎💩 , Downtown started packing up and what was left were the remains that wolves leave behind when they're done feasting on their kill...dry , meatless bones 😱🤔🤪. That sir, is the short story. So lay down your MAGA hat 🤮 , this city will NEVER be republican and neither will the city. It's aiming towards being even better than it once was (no thanks to it's cesspool of dirty, felonious money grabbing politics and politicians) and it might take some time, but it WILL be better. 😉👍☺
Well I guess it doesn't really matter who runs it 🤷 😕 but I hope it resolves back to better times and to tell truth I think it will nonetheless I hope you can find some happy moments with the content here on #bportmems thanks for commenting 😊

Spellcheck: "many"
