Goodbye, Red Rooster

 I'm sad that the Red Rooster Restaurant in Ridgefield is being torn down to clear the space for a 21 unit residential development.


In Naples the city officials let developers destroy natural areas needed by wildlife to make way for oversized housing developments.  In Connecticut, towns let developers tear down irreplaceable historic buildings to squeeze in new developments.  Different problems, same outcome.

I think we had a birthday party there years ago with Wanda Houston performing. I could be misremembering, but I think it was there.

It is always sad to see a fine old house with classic lines be torn down for a soulless apartment building. At least your have a photo record of this place.
