City Faces in Different Places
By Michelle Duez on February 07, 2016 from City Faces
Please take a moment to meet this week’s City Face Amanda Romano. I have to add that it felt like kismet that I bumped into Amanda at the Bridgeport Family Pharmacy. Both of us were there to pick up fundraiser superhero shirts for Jack Rollins. As fate would have it, it was Amanda’s birthday as well. She feels very fortunate to share her birthday with a hometown superhero.
