Are We in Waterbury or Are We in Drybury
A humorous letter mocks Waterbury’s water shortage, lamenting Drybury as a name and urging city leaders to secure a reliable water supply. It quips that residents rely on beer halls for thirst and references Scoop O’Brien coming to clean beer saloons while suggesting the Wigwam reservoir could add billions of gallons when rain comes. It promotes Phelan’s Store at 42 East Main St as the best local tea coffee and buttermilk source.
