City Faces in Different Places

By Michelle Duez on June 21, 2015 from City Faces

Bridgeporters can be found far and wide.  This week's City Face lives in Phoenix, Arizona.  He recently was back in town to visit with family.  Please take a moment to meet my friend Robert Palmer.

Favorite Bridgeport spot?  His parent's house on Ridgeway Drive while he was growing up.  
 
Favorite WV spot outside of Bridgeport?  Valley Falls - the beautiful water, green trees, fresh air and seclusion make this an attractive place for Rob.  
 
Favorite place outside of WV?  San Francisco is his favorite.  He enjoys the food, culture and energy of the city.
 
Favorite restaurant?  The Green Flash in San Diego.  Rob claims they had the best Bloody Mary anywhere. Unfortunately, the Green Flash recently closed.
