Crystal Ayala looked out from her Fairmont Avenue home and warned of odors, rodents, and plummeting property values if the city allows an Annex transfer station to collect suburban wet trash.
Lauryn Kearney looked at that same plant — and described it as one of the city’s “cleanest facilities,” a dedicated employer that deserves to expand.

Fred & Patty Walker, & freshly made sandwich.
Thirty-four years.
That’s how long Fred and Patty Walker have been married. That’s how long they’ve run Chestnut Fine Foods & Confections. And that’s how long they’ve graced New Haven with a creamy, crunchy, not-too-sweet, and all-too-satisfying Brie on baguette sandwich — which packs a particular punch in a pandemic.
Instead of creating PowerPoints in New York about potential corporate mergers, Hacibey Catalbasoglu has spent the pandemic months splitting logs, throwing dough, and memorizing the Napoletana recipe at Brick Oven Pizza on New Haven’s Elm Street.

The Ferraro family is moving the market it started in New Haven in 1952 to the suburbs — leaving public-housing tenants like Yelissa Martinez and Gladys Lugo with no walkable place to buy groceries.

A virtual holiday kick-off kept Zoom participants from New Haven and beyond out of the Covid funk with a discussion of local wellness resources and a Zoom dance party.
Tuesday was too long to wait to send love heavenward to Sharon Clemons.
So hundreds of the beloved salon owner’s friends, family members, and customers lined the sidewalks on both sides of State Street Sunday with balloons ready to soar.

Envisioned project.
The long-awaited redevelopment of Dixwell Plaza —bringing a new performing arts center, banquet hall, grocery store, museum, office complex, daycare center, retail storefronts, and 150-plus apartments and townhouses to the neighborhood’s fraying commercial hub — took one step closer to becoming a reality.
Marchand: Don’t make “perfect” enemy of “the good.”
With misgivings that it’s not a monumental, breathtaking, Frank Gehry gateway building, and with lingering concerns about open space, the City Plan Commission approved the site plan for the first phase of the “mini-city” that is to rise on the former Coliseum site.

Current plan for the former Coliseum site.
(Opinion) When I first came back to New Haven in 1971 I was told by everyone to focus on the problems of the poor and the disadvantaged. Forty years later I see the mood of the City seems not to have changed. Affordable housing is critically important but there are several much larger issues which need to be the focus of our discussions, all of which conclude making the project financially successful for all income classes.
The current controversy over the Coliseum site is focused strictly on affordable housing, a subject which, by itself, is a nonstarter.

Zacatelco.
A team of Fair Haven-based artists brought some color — and some comfort — to the Veterinary Wellness Center on State Street, with the addition of outdoor seating for the center’s waiting area that doubles as public art.
