    Bridgeport Web Sites

For three years, from 1999-2001, Jeff Williams published unique and useful calendars depicting historic scenes from the Park City's glorious past.  Destined to be collectors items, these calendars were purchased and given to friends and relatives all over the world who grew up in, or had a link or connection to, Connecticut's largest city. Since 2001, Jeff has received calls yearly from those wondering if there would ever be future calendars. GOOD NEWS... a new series of BRlDGEPORT BY THE SEA calendars will be published beginning for the year 2009. NOTE: Visit this site and listen to the 1936 recording of Bridgeport's Centennial Celebration song, "Bridgeport By The Sea" performed by the acclaimed female vocalist of the era, Vaughn DeLeath. What a hoot!
Just found this web site, and I don't know much about it, but it might be worth checking out! According to the web site, Harding alumni can utilize this site to reunite with old classmates, plan class reunions, share memories, and catch up with old friends. May also be a small fee included. Sounds a little bit like us - except we're FREE!
Friends of Remington Woods is an organization of citizens, individual activists, and representatives from wide-ranging neighborhood organizations whose objective is to preserve Remington Woods, a 419 acre wildlife oasis with the 23 acre Lake Success situated in the heart of Bridgeport, Connecticut, as open space or as green development. Note: Be sure to read the HISTORY portion of this web site for a wonderful look back through time to when the East Side was a bucolic rural area and Yellow Mill Pond was a beautiful lake that stretched as far as Boston Ave (would you believe a ship building works where Bell Street is now located?)
Jerry Dougherty has an album of over 300 current photos taken around Bridgeport, CT. There are also links to his photo albums of other Connecticut area cities, like Stratford, Milford, Fairfield, etc. ENJOY!
Want to see what your old home in Bridgeport looks like today?  You can!  Just visit this web site and enter your old address data. It's that easy!  Note: A number of homes have been demolished, so your old address photo might display as a photo of a vacant lot, or might not be available. Most homes, however, are listed. Once at the Vision Appraisal website, click on the "Enter Online Database" Button. Once at the SEARCH page, enter your house number in the first block, and then your street name in the second block (using abbreviations for the suffix, e.g.: st for street, av for avenue, ln for lane, etc.) and then click on the "Search" Button.  Along with the photo, which you can enlarge, you will also be given complete records of the home -- you'd be surprised at how old some of the houses we lived in were, even back then.  ENJOY!
Remember the home at 285 Hollister Ave, just across from McKinley School? The home was featured on the TV program "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" on Sunday, October 14th. You can see dozens of photos of the makeover, and the surrounding neighborhood at this web site.
