Business and marketing student Beonce Fraser, 20, didn’t consider working in the bioscience industry until she learned about a search for summer marketing interns in the field.
Look for more room for bigger ships carrying steel, cement, and oil to New Haven’s industrial waterfront — and less room for climate-change-exacerbated storm surges to inundate the streets and highway on Long Wharf.

As she moves from one side of the stage of Long Wharf to the other, actor Cloteal L. Horne transforms herself 25 times, from Jewish preschool teacher to Black playwright, from a girl in middle school to a minister in the Nation of Islam, from a rabbi to a Guiyanese immigrant. It’s a feat of performance in the service of a now-classic play — Fires in the Mirror, running at Long Wharf now through Feb. 6— that tries to get at the deeper truths in an incident of racial violence that happened 30 years ago, the roots of which lay in centuries of prejudice, and the specter of which still hangs over us today.

A bright and symbolic flame of “tradition” and a “brighter day” was passed among generations during rush hour at Union Station at the onset of the third night of the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah.
Alders unanimously approved plans to build up to 500 new apartments on Long Wharf after arguing that the city’s waterfront should be developed and protected — not abandoned — amid climate change.
The doors are shut, the chairs are coming out, and a “for lease” sign now stands on a grassy strip of Sargent Drive — as The Greek Olive, a diner that for two decades doubled as a local political deal-making hangout, has shuttered for good.

Reginald Jackson is a Vietnam Marine Corps vet whose birthday also happens to be on Nov. 11 — aka Veterans Day.
On Thursday afternoon Jackson came for the first time in his life to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial at Long Wharf and placed his hands on the names of his friends, fellow Wilbur Cross High School classmates who served in Vietnam but never made it back, engraved on the stone beneath the V.
Plans to build up to 500 new apartments on Long Wharf won a key aldermanic approval — after two city department heads made their pitches for why New Haven should not have to wholly abandon waterfront development, even amid climate change.
Sliding five new $100 bills into a self-serve kiosk at Sports Haven, Vinny Rosarbo bet on more than just the New Orleans Saints beating the Seattle Seahawks.
He was also throwing his support behind a statewide wager that newly legalized gambling options will help Connecticut more than it will hurt by promoting the kind of addiction that led a state representative to resign his position the same day.
The City Plan Commission unanimously advanced a proposal to build up to 500 new apartments on Long Wharf — despite the advice of a top state environmental regulator who advocated rejecting waterfront residential developments as unduly dangerous due to climate-change-induced flooding.

On the bare stage of Long Wharf Theatre is one of those huge packing crates used for shipping props or sets. A man comes out of the shadows and pushes it further back, then opens its doors to reveal a theatrical space with a curtain and graceful designs on the wings. If you’re a regular theater-goer who hasn’t been in a theater since the Covid-19 lockdown began — and certainly not at Long Wharf Theatre’s stage at Sargent Drive, which has been closed since the spring of 2020 — that simple act of opening the crate to make theater on stage is striking, thrilling, magical.
A car-jacking spree turned into a tractor-trailer-jacking that resulted in 10 crashed vehicles, a rush-hour traffic jam, and a fight with an ex-assistant police chief who happened to be on I‑95 and rushed to the rescue.

Paula Mann-Agnew looked across the waters of New Haven Harbor at the 78-foot Baltimore Clipper replica of the Spanish schooner, La Amistad, docked, in all its majesty, at Long Wharf Pier.
“Sankofa,” Mann-Agnew, executive director of Discovering Amistad, told a gathering Saturday of 50 people in the cool autumn air. “It’s a West African concept that focuses on the fact that in order for us to move forward in a positive way, we need to look back on our history.
Imagine picking up lunch at a food hall, picnicking as kids play in a sculpture park, and viewing New Haven Harbor up close as residents move in and out of two new apartment towers.
A developer offered that pitch at a hearing about plans to build up to 500 apartments on Long Wharf.
A Long Wharf-based developer plans to build up to 500 new apartments along the underused waterfront in a bid to make good on the city’s long-sought redevelopment plans for the area.
