“Just 55 miles from Midtown Manhattan, Bridgeport is the largest and most diverse city in Connecticut, with a population of nearly 150,000. Despite its gritty, working-class reputation- in contrast to those of its Gold Coast neighbors, Greenwich and Westport - Bridgeport actually has more protected historic districts and more parks than any other municipality in the state. After decades of neglect, a long-awaited revitalization is under way.”
Nancy M. Better“ Down Time in Bridgeport, Hockey, a Zoo, and Barnum’s World“ New York Times, Feb. 24, 2006.
