I live downtown and my neighbors live in a Farnam realty owned building. They have a box trap on their roof currently holding a live squirre- it's been trapped there for over 24 hours. I have called Farnam who said animal control is coming but it's been a few hours and no sign. I have a direct line of sight from my apartment to just watch this squirrel suffer… its unbearable. What can I do?

Pretty much as the title says. I’m 25M, work as a journalist but unfortunately that doesn’t quite cover the bills and I’m tired of being broke as shit. Talented writer, extrovert, good people person and communicator, have past experience working as a dish washer, package handler, camp counselor/daycare provider, and doing lawn work. Also love dogs! Open to pretty much anything and flexible with hours depending on the job, but leaning towards evenings and weekends. Would love to work as a server, barista, or bartender, but don’t have experience so I’m probably SOL.

Sorry if this is seen as spam but didn’t see anything forbidding it in the subreddit’s rules and haven’t had much luck looking for part time gigs on LinkedIn or Google. If anybody could point me in the direction of a place that may be hiring, I’d be forever grateful!

Part of my series of paintings dedicated to Great Pizzerias in Watercolor. For the past few years I’ve been documenting all the best pizza places I’ve been to with my art. I’ve painted over 40 so far, mostly around the tri state with a heavy focus on the New Haven Area. My work was recently on display in the New Haven Museum’s Community Case and my trading cards will be available in the gift shop soon! Thanks so much for checking out my work here on Reddit, at NHV zine fest, Apizza festivals and the museum!

Hello everyone, new to CT and I'm looking for a safe area that's affordable. Does anyone have any info on Coe Ave east haven ? We are looking at sea breeze apartments and maybe 510 main east haven. I noticed Tweed airport is near by and possibly manufacturers in the area. I'm wondering if anyone has trouble with noise or environmental pollution?

Let me know. Thanks!

I am getting married in the coming week, and want a wedding photographer for that occasion but I’m on a budget. I just want an hour to take pictures at the city hall during the ceremony while we get married. Nothing crazy. It would just be a total of six people( my two brothers, my father and mother in law, my fiancé and I) Something nice and quick.

Please help

Had anyone had laser hair removal in the area? Would you go back to the place you went to?

i love you so much, new haven. hope to see you at our new storefront/shop/studio/whatever you want to call it soon.

Recently lost our own dog but due to upcoming life changes, we won’t be in New Haven long enough for most of the shelters (which require a 12 month minimum to volunteer).

Does anyone know any shelters that would waive the 12 month requirement or any other fun ways to spend time with dogs while volunteering my time?

This seems like such a creative passion project and cool on so many levels, plus it's happening in a bakery. Saturday at Katalina's bakery, Whitney Ave. Event at 6; they perform at 7:30.

Hello! This is a bit of a long shot, but do any of y’all know of a place that does music open mic on Mondays in New Haven?

I’m a musician from Virginia coming through on a solo tour in April—I’ll be passing through New Haven on a Monday and would love to pop in somewhere to play a few tunes. Don’t want to set up a whole show cause I’ll need a break but an open mic would be perfect.

Thanks so much!

Hey neighbors,

Remember those comedy shows I started at The Sandbox? Thanks to your amazing support, they sold out—two weeks in advance! (Even the family-friendly one!) Now, I'm diving into a new project, and I need your help...

Introducing "Sink or Swim," a live dating show where YOU could be the shark OR the contestant! Why am I doing this? Well, besides the fact that watching people try to find love is inherently hilarious, I believe laughter can bring people together in unexpected ways. And who knows, maybe we'll even spark some real romance along the way!

Here's the deal:

• One week: guys pitch to a panel of women; the other week: new cast, roles reverse.
• Win dates, prizes, and maybe even love! (Or at least some laughs.)
• Launching in January at a location TBD. (Hint: It's perfect for this theme.)

Want to be a shark or swim with them? Message me to sign up!

And if you want to stay in the loop on all things Humor Haven (about upcoming shows at The Sandbox or local theater venues, or about our Kids Comedy Camp and shows at nursing homes and prisons), visit my site and join the family: [link to website]

Let's make this the most entertaining dating show New Haven has ever seen!

I’ve been playing guitar for over 30 years and can sing and play with anyone. Looking for people in Westville area to jam with and hopefully desire to play out.

Recent transplant from Brooklyn and where are all the musicians here?

I’ve been thinking about learning a musical instrument and would like to explore different options before committing to one. My list includes violin, cello, and drums, but I’d also love to try other instruments—just not piano.

Where should I start? Are there any music schools around? I came across the Neighborhood Music School, but their semester-ish adult classes seem to focus on piano, while other instruments are only offered through one-on-one lessons.

If trying all the options isn’t realistic, do you have any recommendations for drum classes? Somewhere in New Haven is perfect but nearby towns also work!

Thank you so much!

I’m wanting to get a tattoo but need help piecing things together and would love to talk to a local artist/tattoo shop to help sketch out ideas. Do ppl usually charge for this type of service or will shops do it for free if you plan on using them? Also, which tattoo shops do you recommend? TIA

I'm sure you all have a similar problem. We'd love a solush.

Does anyone have good suggestions on where to get moving boxes? I know most stores and shopping plazas use trash compactors. We want to move by the end of December cuz that's when our lease ends. Thanks in advance!

I am calling upon the collective knowledge of Reddit to help me plan fun stuff for my babies this year. There's not a lot kids at this age can do but it's been a rough year and I want to get in the spirit of the season for them.

What all is happening around CT that you guys would recommend? We live in New Haven county but will go out to Fairfield, Litchfield, Hartford, etc.

Thank you for helping a tired mom and dad. 🙏🏻

What are some places I can take my partner to see some Christmas lights not just in NH but elsewhere up here??

I think it’s more or less the consensus here that the drivers in New Haven are terrible as a whole. I don’t think I need to give examples.

But after driving here for the last 2 years, I’ve started to expect people to do stupid things: run red lights, merge without appropriate space, back out with looking.

I’m originally from Colorado, and people drive much, much more mildly there. But every so often someone will do something dumb. I was back for Thanksgiving and I found myself expecting these same things that I do in New Haven, whereas my family who has only driven in CO don’t, leading to much closer near misses.

Has anyone else found something similar?

Can I walk around in the balcony area to a lower section of the balcony? Or am I stuck in the seat that I have? Also can my friend that has floor tickets walk up to the balcony to join me? I feel it would be hard to sneak into the general admission area. I’m buying my tickets last minute and the only seats available are in the far back like last few rows and the prices are trash.

We're getting sick of Thanksgiving leftovers and thinking about going out for pizza tonight. Does anyone know how busy Modern or Sally's tends to be on Thanksgiving weekend?

Last week Saturday and again this Thursday, someone broke the glass on our building's front door to steal Amazon packages from the lobby.

Is anyone else in the area dealing with stuff like this? Wondering if package theft is becoming more common or if we’re just unlucky.

Any tips on keeping things secure would be great.

Stay safe, everyone!
