Our new Village People

Old timers may remember “The Children’s Shop”, owned by Cliff Frost, who was often seen running down the street to hop on a fire truck and join his fellow volunteers, including Sterling Watts of Watts’ Hardware, save lives and rescue pets. Or The Old Greenwich Sports Shop”, owned by Bud DeVito with assistance from his daughters, or Bob’s Pet and Model Shop, across the street. All friendly, nice people, residents of Riverside and Old Greenwich, who were an integral part of the Village and who enriched the lives of all in the community.

They’re all gone now, and have been replaced by out-of-town proprietors who have brought their venomous political views into the Village and insist on inflicting them on the rest of us.

That’s not only stupid from a business perspective, it’s downright unneighborly.
