You are invited to participate in Bridgeport's Annual Household Hazardous Waste Day on Saturday, October 24 from 9 AM to 11 AM at Blackham School (corner of Thorme Street and Amsterdam Avenue - see map).   This annual event is a n opportunity to safely get rid of your household hazardous wastes.  Common household hazardous wastes include:

You may know the game as Cornhole or Bag-O and have seen it played in stadium parking lots before a football game or at a neighborhood BBQ.  It is huge in many parts of the country and has become very popular in the Black Rock section of Bridgeport where Burroughs is located.

The City of Bridgeport completed its physical assessment of properties and has published the results on www.visionappraisal.com .  You'll need to register to access the site, but all that is required is your e-mail and creation of a password.

A few weeks ago, a NYT reporter, Jane Gordon, called to ask me a few questions about Bridgeport from a real estate investment standpoint.  The resulting article is quite positive about Bridgeport and reinforces recent articles in CNN Money and the Wall Street Journal, which have created the oft quoted "63% rise in value in five years".  Perception creates reality and my husband, Bill, who is in commercial real estate has seen an influx of investors looking for up to $10 million in property.  I've also fielded calls from investors looking for multifamily properties as a result of that article.  I expect that this very positive article will bring more investors and businesses to Bridgeport. 

If you haven't done so, you'll want to read the New York Times article, which was in Sunday's paper on April 22, 2007.

As a public service, I'm passing this message on from Mayor Fabrizi's office.  Please read it if you have been affected by flooding from the storm.
