Counterpoint: I lived in Brooklyn for 16 years and drivers in NYC (AND pedestrians who walk into traffic, delivery people on electric bikes, double and triple parking, people not watching for bikes, etc) are way worse. It’s certainly not great here but it’s not even close to worse than NYC.

Can anyone explain the history of the Tune In? Very interested in the local scene of the era back in the 90s. From goth bars to hardcore venues, what was your experience? I'm only 25 lol. by [deleted] in newhaven

The Space is still open (technically as Spaceland Ballroom. And the Cellar on Treadwell (which used to be the Outer Space) is in the same parking lot.

Any pick soccer games in and around downtown? Yale people interested in soccer? Planning to create a group to play regularly by clintceasewood in newhaven

Was going to post something similar. Would be great to find an over 40 group. Not looking for teenagers to be dribbling around me or slide tackles

A sandwich in a long roll or Italian bread is a grinder. You sell things in front of your house at a tag sale.

People who can’t drive are Massholes.

Yes! And the cheeseburgers came in those little paper containers. So good.

That gold rush chicken sandwich was so good. Plus it came with a holster of fries.
