Hey there! Recent new homeowners here looking to get ahead of the snow season. Could anyone recommend local snow removal businesses or individuals? This would just be for one home. Thanks in advance for your help!
Going to be in town tomorrow, any one know of any artists that take walk ins? Just for a 2 inch line art piece
We need a government appointed "leaf czar".
wondering whether anyone knows of anywhere in new haven that i could leave car permanently without having to pay. i am permanent resident of new haven but dont live somewhere with access to parking. considering getting a car which would be useful to me but dont have anywhere to park it. the spot wouldnt have to be close to downtown or anything. but as i understand most parking options you have to pay because they are lots or garages aimed at people parking temporarily/for the day.
Any shops around New Haven that have fun/interesting post cards? I just recently joined postcrossing and I want to have a small collection of all different kinds to send out!
Howdy! I have friends coming into town and haven’t been out super late in recent years as I’m in my 30s and require many many hours of sleep. I remember enjoying going to like Geronimo, Rudy’s, Elm City Social and Anchor Spa. What else is out there for a fun scene at night? Not looking to go to BAR.
Near crown/high st downtown. I just woke up to what sounded like a male and a female computer voice coming out of megaphones from the street but i was too groggy to understand what they were saying. All I really caught was it sounded like the female voice was saying “hello” over the male’s every few seconds. I heard it at 2:40 am and it completely stopped 4-5 minutes after, not like it drifted into the distance . Im not sure why this freaked me out so much but itd really give me peace of mind to know that it wasn’t some purge shit lol.
How are the other menu items at Sally’s? They have a pretty good looking pasta selection. I just had a pie today and it was excellent per usual. My wife is planning to hit them up again before we head back to Boston but I’m not too sure I want pizza again.
Should I hit up another place (pasta or deli sandwiches) on or near Wooster or just order something other than apizza from Sally’s?
I posted here a few days ago on my alt account looking to meet people because of my BED (binge eating disorder) as a college student. I’ve relapsed BADLY during the last 2 days and it feels like I’m in a crisis. I’m seeking care at my college, don’t worry, but it won’t be a while until I even get an assigned therapist.
I miss hanging out with people! So I’m tossing the hat back into the ring .. I love hikes and grabbing coffee. I love cooking, ironically, and really nice apartments? I’m just desperate for a change of environment again.
Please reach out if you want someone to study with. We can even do something tonight, honestly. Or tomorrow morning.
Hi everyone! I’m starting as a postgrad research associate at Yale School of Medicine in January. I’m looking for a studio or 1-bedroom apartment under $1800/month and am open to areas outside of downtown or immediate Yale vicinity, as long as the commute is under 30 minutes (I have a car).
If anyone has any suggestions or leads for affordable, quiet areas nearby, I’d really appreciate it. I cant find anything under 2000 near Yale so I decided to post this to ask more advices. Thanks so much!
New to NH and my apartment has a locked door with no lobby. Any suggestions for how I can get packages delivered without them being stolen/returned?

Hello, I am not familiar with the area. What is a good place to stay for a bar crawl? Obviously we want to be able to walk from the hotel. Thank you.
asked a few weeks ago but things were still too early, anyone know if any place is playing the election? don’t wanna be alone while watching it (i know we might now know exactly on tuesday but maybe the first few states trickle in)
Just moved here a few months ago. What even is this place?

EDIT: I enjoy living here and I'm grateful to be here. It's a gorgeous city with awesome food, vibrant culture, and quick access to some other incredible metro areas. I've never actually felt unsafe. Still, crime is statistically worse here than in most other US cities:
Anyone have recommendations for a reliable place the won’t over charge me. It’s an iPhone 11 if that matters.
I feel like one of the main reasons drivers drive so, aggressively here is all due too the traffic lights. The traffic lights are designed to keep you on a grid lock. If it's green then the next block is red. So, drivers are speeding past to catch the next light. If the traffic lights were more cohesive and consistent, drivers would be more mellower IG. P.S : I hate being stuck on Uber while on State Street's grid lock when I am trying to catch the train.
For the past whole month, they have not been bringing in most of the fresh produce, especially fruits. Is it closing or something?
Hi, I'm a 24 year old guy and I just moved to New Haven earlier in the summer with my girlfriend. I don't know anyone in town and am trying to build a friend group. I'm currently DMing a D&D campaign online and I'd love to find a group to play with in town, so if you have an open slot for someone who's familiar with the game, I'd be happy to see if I'm a fit.
Yesterday, I parked my car in the Temple Street Garage at 10:30 AM, came back at 4 PM and noticed my car was missing. I immediately went to security and it was evident that they knew something had happened prior. A worker came out from behind her office space and said she saw my car (she described the color and make) smash through the exit gate and speed down N. Frontage Rd. She claimed she did not make a police report because they didn't have a plate, essentially admitting that she knew of the situation and did nothing about it.
Given that no report was made, there's a six hour period that my car could've been missing for with no formal report to city police. I'm grateful to have it back now, but had security taken proper measures and contacted PD once they found out, I'm sure my car would have been in better shape or at least in my possession sooner.
What's bizarre to me and everyone who knows about the situation, is that security was very well aware that they had a car damage city property, regardless of whether or not it was stolen, and made no report to the police. They are also claiming there are zero cameras in the garage, including the exits.
Could there be a case against the city that the workers knew of the situation and did not take proper action? I'm assuming part of the price I pay for a permit goes towards funding security, so what is the purpose of having security if they do nothing about theft and vandalism?
TIA
Hi everyone...
New resident here. What app are people using to purchase CTrail tickets?
I found the CTrail eTix app but Play Store says it's not available for my version of Android (Galaxy S22) because the app was made for an older version of Android. Which is interesting because my phone is already two years old.
Is there a more universal app that will allow me to purchase tix for the Hartford Line?
Hey there,
Just looking to see if anyone witnessed a hit and run on Whitney and highland I was in Monday night.
I was on an orange motorcycle, going the speed limit with a green light, and a grey car came flying towards me, turned into me, and then left me for dead.
Luckily I was mostly unscathed but the bike is wrecked.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Do any of you guys know of any good movers that do cross country moves and also aren’t that expensive?
They way they use this tocite platform is completely deranged and feels designed to extract as much money from people as possible. I hate it. I hope whoever is responsible for implementing this never knows peace a day in their life. Did you know: even if you have an online account that they can use to contact you, alerts for new tickets issued to your vehicle are DISABLED BY DEFAULT? you have to OPT IN to get them! It's almost as if they're deliberately trying to hide tickets from you until they accrue as many late fees as possible! No...THAT COULDN'T BE...
I got towed on labor day for the foxon road race (pretty sure there were no visible posted signs where I parked, because I was specifically looking for a place with no posted signs, but whatever) and the city fully lost my car for like two days. No record of it anywhere. The police department was actively annoyed that I was calling them and were like "yeah we towed a lot of people and it takes a while to enter them into the system. sorry", so I just didn't have a car for like 2 days until they finally located it, and I had to pay like 200 dollars to get it back.
The city also, apparently, wrote me a separate handwritten paper citation for the parking violation with no dollar amount [this was attached to the tow record when I got my car], and when I entered the ticket number into the online portal at the time, nothing came up. I kept trying for a few days and never turned up any ticket. I kept looking to see if I had any new tickets associated with my vehicle, nothing ever happened. After a few days I figured that either they'd forgotten about it (it was handwritten on paper!) or I'd receive some sort of alert from the online portal.
Well two months passed and I guess at some point they DID enter it into the system, and also backdated it to the date of the original violation. So today I was alerted (for the first time) that my would-be 35 dollar parking ticket is an 108 dollar parking ticket with two months of late fees. "I should dispute this," I thought, like an idiot, "because it's their administrative failure that led to me accruing all of these fees!" well, guess what. The ticket is "older than 16 days" so I can't dispute it. Oops! Oh well!
This isn't my first rodeo with this disgrace of a municipal tool. On several occasions I've been ticketed for street sweeping because the city a) didn't post signs as required and b) didn't notify me via phone text and email, as they otherwise do, and when I disputed these tickets the disputes just sat for 5 months until they were denied and I had to pay them anyway. Cool!
Post your ticket horror stories here I guess. Let's start a prayer circle that whoever is responsible for this system gets crushed by a falling jet turbine.
