Fair Haven Community Health Care’s upcoming Grand Avenue expansion came into sharper focus — as a health center representative described plans to knock down an existing corner building that currently houses a pharmacy, a pizzeria, and a handful of apartments, and to construct in its stead a new neighborhood clinic and community space.

Something new is brewing behind the paper-covered windows of 105 Whitney Ave., and business owners Virginia Semeghini and Eva Ray are hoping you’ll want to come down and be a part of it. Witch Bitch Thrift, the online thrift shopping site that became a cherished Bridgeport storefront has now moved its headquarters to New Haven in the former home of Take 5 Audio. The plan is to continue to foster a community that has its roots in one person’s dream of making a space where she could not only sell thrift clothing and other treasures, but also build a treasured group of supportive friends.
Tamales, cupcakes, hot sauce, and corn ribs were just a few of the locally made items on the menu at a Q House-hosted showcase of homegrown foodie talent.
QU VP Zemba: "A strong Quinnipiac is a strong Hamden."
Quinnipiac University made its first official pitch of a “master” redevelopment plan to Hamden zoners — and, in turn, filed the town’s first-ever ask for a multi-property rezoning makeover.

City Plan Director Brown: "Unfortunate" that moratorium won't cover truck project.

Edgar Marcial inside his now-shuttered Orange St. restaurant.
A kitchen-wall fire shut down Edgar Marcial’s Tacos Los Gordos restaurant barely a month after it first opened on Orange Street.
Now, the California transplant is working on raising money to rehab his recently renovated culinary home so that he and his staff can soon get back to cooking up and dishing out nopales tacos, esquites, and other Oaxacan fare.
Fall has arrived early on State Street with Caramel Apple Pie, Skinny Pumpkin Teddy Graham, and Maple Glazed Donut shakes — all of which can now be filed under the category “health food.”
Glendower/Patriquin rendering of proposed Strong School redesign.
Two affordable housing developers are competing to transform the long-vacant former Strong School building into an artists’ community, public gathering space, and housing complex.
Painted street-crossings, above, started the process of restitching the borders of Wooster Square and downtown.
Pedestrians and cyclists will have a protected slice of State Street all to themselves. But what about bus riders?
That new information, and subsequent questions, emerged from city leaders’ first public input session about plans to redesign one of the city’s widest driving corridors, one that connects four neighborhoods and two train stations, to rebuild housing and restore safe pathways in an Urban Renewal-cleared corridor.
Peeling back the onion: A plan for a structural addition to this dome has sparked new questions about what's happening on a trash company's property.
Officials of the “Circle of Life” transfer station on Middletown Avenue showed neighbors plans for a new semi-circlular structure on their site — and heard back questions, claims and complaints about the broader conditions on their property.

Dixwell Plaza's planned new ConnCAT Place redevelopment.
Dixwell Plaza’s planned redevelopment has gained a general contractor, a childcare partner, and a food hall operator — and has lost a too-pricey underground garage — as the local team behind the now-estimated $220 million project moves ahead with its effort to build up the heart of New Haven’s historic Black neighborhood.
