bad part of town, indeed...
Bridgeport, generally speaking, is a rough town.
When I was a young man without an abundance of good common sense, I used to hang out down there in some of the worst places. Beardsley Terrace, Father Panic Village (the after hours Motorcycle Club), and another place on the same street as this shooting, Stratford Ave.
That joint was called Tiffany's Rendesvous, owned by a fellow named Jackson.
We were in there shooting pool one Saturday night and all hell broke loose, gunfire ringing. The front plate glass windows were partially shot out and, the rest of the glass was pushed out by frightened patrons fleeing the bad scene, myself included. :shocked2:
Good that I was mostly playing off the wall back then so there was no reason to return anytime soon. Had to let that place cool off for a few weeks.
Best,
