Bridgeport house a real attention getter

Mayor Bill Finch doesn't know Gonsalves personally, but said it's wonderful when residents take a lot of pride in their properties.

"When even one person in a neighborhood works to make Bridgeport more beautiful, we all win," Finch said in a statement, before throwing in a pitch for alternate side of the street parking, beginning in May.

"It's so our street sweepers can access the areas they need to clean and we can make Bridgeport the cleanest city it can
WHAT???? THEY'RE BOTH NUTS.

I think the house looks like trash like that , but no mayor finch bird says it's ok to fix up your house like that , whats he been smoking ?

No offense Tony but hurry up and open that shop because it looks like trash in your front yard!

Isn't there a blight ordinance in Bpt.? Oh... wait a minute...

it seems he has a doll fetish-i'd get freaked with all those statues around especially at night - it's like the wax museum. creepy

As pwilson said ........ DISGUSTING

Holy cow!!! I was trying to figure out what the theme was. Well, it is CRAZY. He makes it into the famous ct post because his house looks nuts and he is happy. My uncle has ten house in Bpt. that are beautiful and immaculate well he is not recognized. Am I surprised? NO>!!!!!
But the owner is hunble and that makes a difference. Enjoy your home.

Tony, enjoy your home. I like portugese food but not your decore. What the hell, no one is perfect!!!

No offense, Mr. Gonsalves, but your property is a hot mess! If it is not - it SHOULD be cited by the City's Anti-blight department.

Mayor Finch once again speaks without being informed. Obviously he has not actually seen this house and property. Mayor Finch get in your new hybrid and go check it out. It's an eyesore!! And do yourself a favor: Get an experienced public and community relations person to help you keep your foot out of your mouth.

One mans junk is another mans treasure..I guess you can decorate anyway you want as it is a free country. I am glad I do not live near him. He seems like a nice friendly guy but to me it looks like a bordello.

Holy crap. I think the mental health people should pay a visit. At least he's not a crack dealer.

I agree with you, he seems like a very nice guy. He just has "odd" taste and too much free time on his hands.

you are absolutely correct about his p.r. person. she is totally inexperienced and straight out of college. nothing more than a gofer. with an unemployed husband who married her for a green card.

There are much more nuttier people on this site if you know what I mean.He is just a junk collector he does not even bother his neighbors according to him..they love it.

Stop Stalking

Yea, I don't think its a good look either. I think it would bring the property value of your home down if you lived next store. Nice old man or not-come one. Do we all have to see your personal collection?
