P. T. Barnum Mural

 Bridgeport is a big, struggling city with a bad habit of electing convicted felons as mayor.

But, Bridgeport also has a very active street art community.  The circus impresario P. T.  Barnum lived in Bridgeport in his later years, serving in the Connecticut legislature and then as Bridgeport mayor.  He is memorialized in a wonderful 2023 mural by Octavio Logo @octavio_logo.

Nice mural, I guess I should read up on the convicted felons.
