A private car club will open at 499-501 Post Road East, the former Steinway showroom adjacent to Westport Fire Headquarters, according to Westport resident Gioel Molinari. Molinari said he is in the process of buying the building, which Steinway closed in December 2017. Over the years, the town has considered purchasing the property to expand Fire Headquarters but ultimately found the price too steep. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
Evan Birns’ spectacular goal, off Brendan Lynch’s flick and Surya Balaji’s free kick, lifted the Staples boys soccer team to a 1-0 victory over Danbury today in an exciting FCIAC tournament quarterfinal match. The Wreckers pressed the Hatters throughout the match. Excellent midfield play, team defense and strong goalkeeping by Reed Caney all contributed to the win.
