The Creek

Well as many of you may well know Ash Creek has been renamed and re vamped! Now called The Creek, they have updated their menu, added some TVs, dart boards, and opened up the bar area!!

The new menu is phenomenal! While I was there last night I tried the lobster sliders and the mac n cheese with bbq rib tips...WOW. Thats really all I can say about that, I will be sure to go there again this weekend to try something new!

So be sure to check out The Creek this weekend and try something from their new menu, and let them know you heard it hear first....the food is amazing!!

Mayor Finch's Wednesday Lunch- Black Rock Stop Complaining

Each week on most Wednesdays, Mayor Bill Finch holds a "brown bag lunch" which is open to the public.  The CT Post ran an article on Sunday depicting the details of last week's mtg when the topic of taxes in Bridgeport came up.  The article reads...

"Taxes in Bridgeport are not that bad a deal," he said.

A $900,000 waterfront home in Black Rock would probably cost $3.5 million in Westport, he said. Even if taxes are slightly higher here, he added, it would take years and years for the aggregate costs to be equal.

"Those people (in Black Rock) have got to stop complaining about their taxes," he said.
