At Hamden's High Bazaar. Proposed New Haven law would ban such "private marijuana vending events, cannabis trade shows or public cannabis events."
“High Bazaar” in New Haven? Not anytime soon.
That’s according to a newly proposed zoning update that would prohibit the types of weekly commercial cannabis parties that currently take place in Hamden — as part of a broader city effort to define where pot shops should and should not be allowed in the Elm City.

Chloe Rose models $50 look, styled by Todd Lyon with items from Fashionista's new vintage collection
In a jet-black 1950s Polack dress and gloves to match, Chloe Rose modeled a grieving widow look styled by Fashionista co-owner Todd Lyon — complete only with 1960s kitten heels, Aviators, and a maroon headscarf.
The outfit was one of four that Rose donned to promote “Persnickety Thrift,” the vintage store’s new line of thrifted clothing, which debuts this weekend. The line marks a new stage in the evolution of one of New Haven’s most colorful homegrown businesses, and a reflection of where fashion consciousness and society at large have moved amid the chaos of a pandemic.
