“I wrote all my feelings down on white lined paper. I don’t always tell you what I’m thinking, baby.”
The heartfelt admissions begin, and the beats build, becoming a straight-up bop as memories of “the 203” become a plea to go back to a sweeter time in “Elm City,” the latest song from New Haven-based rapper, singer, songwriter, and producer Radio Stevie, also known as Stephen Grant.

(Opinion.)I’ve researched this subject since 1998 and concluded that yes, excessive contact between police and minority communities leads to police use of deadly force.
City Community Services Administrator Dalal: “The research supports that elementary school kids can return to school safely.”
Over 30 parents and teachers asked why some public schools are reopening during the peak of the Covid-19 second wave, when vaccines are right around the corner.
City health officials answered that the district is reopening only for young students, who will not affect transmission levels, according to a large body of research. This rationale convinced a majority of the New Haven Board of Education that they did not need to stop the opening.

It jumps right into the kind of rhythm that screams “party.” A hands-in-the-air rhythm. A bumping bass, frizzy keys, horns snaking in and out. And most of all, a whole lot of voices, talking about nothing but fun, nothing but love.
Kuro Shiro owner Kenny Kim prepares vegan tantanmen.
The broth was creamy, savory, almost nutty. And it was vegan.
Kuro Shiro owner Dohyuan “Kenny” Kim created his recipe for vegan tantanmen with his younger brother. It was a twist on the meat-based, Japanese noodle soups that were just getting popular in the U.S. at the time.

I’m on the committee that recommended that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration authorize the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. We checked for members’ conflicts of interests, demanded high quality data and made sure that the vaccines were effective across racial and ethnic groups.

Host Nadine Nelson turned over a string of pink beads she was starting in her hands on Wednesday evening.
“I think it might be the end of the world,” she said, referring to the riots at the U.S. Capitol, so “I think I’m going to make a necklace and some earrings.” She wanted to “make something I can finish.”
Her guest, artist Lee Lee McKnight, was working on an altered book. It was the latest installment of Co Create, a series supported by the New Haven Free Public Library in partnership with MakeHaven.

Dr. Onyema Ogbuagu receives his second dose from PACU RN Bonnie Landon.
Over 280 Yale New Haven Health (YNHH) medical providers have “completed their series” after receiving their second doses of the Covid-19 vaccine, as the regional hospital system rounded the corner on its first three weeks of its vaccination rollout.
West Rock and Quinnipiac students who want to start learning in-person will have that option on Feb. 17, one month after other New Haven elementary schoolers.
Administrators Tuesday evening revealed those and other details to families at two schools set to shutter permanently after this school year: West Rock STREAM Academy and Quinnipiac Real World Math STEM School (Q‑STEM).

Ruth Sack
There’s a clock on the back wall of City Gallery. It doesn’t have hands, and the numbers by and large have been replaced by abstract shapes. It’s a sign of how time has drifted away, and the expression on its face gives an unmistakable sense of mixed feelings. The piece, by artist Ruth Sack, is about the election season, the sense of anticipation and worry it has brought, but in another sense it sums up how so much of the last year felt — and how we look to this coming year with beleaguered hope.

“The Coffee Tree and I.”
In “The Coffee Tree and I,” a short film by Konjit Seyoum, we see a coffee tree in its adolescence, not much more than a sapling. A red liquid at its base — is it water colored by fertilizer, or just water as it appears after poured onto the soil? — seeps slowly into the ground around its roots. It’s a chance to take a long, deep breath, to think about how we nourish plants, and how plants, in turn, nourish us. Margaret Hart’s “Poly-Morphosis” is an animated collage that ruminates on the wonders of science in an elliptical, often humorous way. And Daniel Hyatt’s “Escape from the Cage (and Dance)” features just that, as a man first magically finds his way out of a kennel, then dances until he disappears.
The Crown Street Garage today. Below: Imagining a different iteration.
As parking garage usage plummets during the pandemic, what should happen next to those hulking, largely empty, publicly-owned concrete behemoths that tower over downtown?
