When you think of Westport, Connecticut, it doesn't usually conjure up a bargain hunter's paradise.  For Westport residents, however, a hands-down, favorite bargain is Longshore Town Park.  For $35, residents can obtain a handpass, which allows them to sign up for recreational programs, have free...

There's still time to "shop 'til you drop", this weekend, in Westport, Connecticut.   Today was the first day of another of Westport's popular weekend summer events - The annual Sidewalk Sale.                              Many shops, along Main Street and the Post Road, displayed their wares, out...
