Four of the five Hill corner stores that city and state shuttered.
Ned Woods: Still "a lot of choices" in the neighborhood.
Walking home on Sylvan Avenue, Ned Woods saw that the corner store where he “plays the numbers” was closed — with a large red “Stop-Work Order” sign taped across the front door.
Thanks to a city-state sweep of problem businesses in the Hill Tuesday, Woods would have to seek out another spot in the neighborhood to place his daily bet.

Parent Dilawar Shamshad at Clemente, where more than 10 percent of the student body is now Afghan.
When mother of four Zarghoona immigrated to New Haven from Afghanistan five years ago, she did not know any English.
She learned it with the help of her daughter, who was picking it up at Clemente Leadership Academy. Then Zarghoona returned to the school helping newer arrivals from her native land adjust to a new country, as an interpreter.
When rezoning for “transit-oriented development” — particularly at spots like Union Station, currently gobbled up by surface parking lots — be aggressive.
