Message: [QUOTE="FairView, post: 3784769, member: 899"] As a Norwalk boy, we would venture to the Nautilus to see if the Westport or Fairfield girls were in the mood to slum it with the kids of blue-collar parents. There was also another dive in the area – the surfside maybe? The Nautilus was better, but it was nice to check them both out. It was a different world back then. I remember witnessing a fight outside of the Nautilus one summer night. The low point of the fight was when the obviously stronger aggressor pulled the hearing aid out of the ear of the guy he was picking on and stomped it to bits. This really bothered me, so when the cops arrived I happily volunteered as a witness. They asked me to drive to the police station to give a statement. I was obviously very, very drunk. The cops had no problem with asking me to drive. I sat in the police station as the officer typed my statement into an old manual typewriter. I must have reeked of beer and looked like Otis from Mayberry. I signed the statement, walked out and drove to meet my friends at IHOP. Fortunately I had turned 18 a few weeks earlier. I had been patronizing the Nautilus for a year or two. How is anyone from my generation still alive? Thumbs up for the Nautilus. [/QUOTE]
