Fayerweather Island Lighthouse (aka Black Rock Harbor Lighthouse), 12/30/23. This was the second stop on our Connecticut that day. This lighthouse is accessible by about a half-mile trek over a jetty, parts of which were a bit tricky to navigate—not gonna lie—but do-able. We were disheartened by all the graffiti on the jetty, and unfortunately the beautiful lighthouse itself was vandalized with tags. I chose not to photograph the sides with graffiti. The door to the lighthouse was open, so of course I went in! The staircase has been removed (second from last photo), presumably for safety reasons. The last shot is of the Penfield Reef Lighthouse. Not a great shot: it was getting dark, and the lens wasn’t cooperating, so it’s a little grainy and blurry. But it looks like a really cool lighthouse, and I look forward to visiting again and getting a better view. We also drove over to see the Tongue Point Lighthouse, but it was too dark at that point, and the photos didn’t come out.

Joe Ganim confirmed the Mayor of Bridgeport after a fourth vote. His political machine has created a culture of fear and intimidation in Bridgeport, and I'm sad to see he will continue this for more years to come. Bridgeport is a beautiful city with beautiful people, and it deserves leadership that isn't corrupt.
