City officials cut the ribbon on a “health and wellness” center — and hoped the fresh color scheme and branding strategy could sell STI tests, school physicals and flu vaccinations to the public as presents rather than punishments.

Conte West Hills School third graders Olivia and Deon played tug-of-war in their classroom — not to see who was the strongest, but instead to conduct a science experiment to learn about forces.
Mike P. doesn’t remember exactly when he last voted. It was probably a decade ago, likely for President Barack Obama.
As he pushed a shopping cart full of bicycle wheels and mattress frames and long metal poles to a Chapel Street scrapyard, he reflected on what would convince him to return to the polls: a candidate committed to making “a very, very, very noticeable difference for the homeless community.”
Two Wooster Square residents running for alder convened for a debate — and sketched out diverging visions for policing, addiction treatment, and the legitimacy of the Republican Party.
Inside a Wallace Street warehouse filled with refrigerators and stoves and plywood and snow blowers and water heaters and closet doors and toilets and sheetrock, Yudi Gurevitch engaged in the latest step of retooling, and rebuilding the reputation of, one of New Haven’s largest landlord empires. He wedged himself in between two shelves overflowing with plumbing supplies and lifted up one of dozens of plastic-wrapped SharkBite fittings.
“The goal is to have everything you could ever need for a property management company in stock,” he said. That way, when a Mandy Management property needs repairs — big or small, day or night — his company has the right parts ready to go.
The city’s public housing authority plans to purchase the New Haven Clock Company building on Hamilton Street and convert it into 100 mixed-income, mostly-affordable apartments — but only after the abandoned factory’s current owners rid the property of all remaining toxins.
A bridal business owner with local political history roots has filed to run against Wooster Square’s two-term, union-affiliated incumbent alder in a Democratic race that sheds light on a neighborhood in flux.

Texas-built air conditioners are stacked high inside of a new 42,000 square-foot warehouse off of East Street — thanks to an international HVAC giant’s lease of a newly built emblem of New Haven’s delivery economy.
The current “redevelopers” of an old Hamilton Street clock factory are now looking to sell rather than rebuild the derelict industrial property, according to a new court-filed agreement.
Short-term cold-weather “warming centers” opened Tuesday while the city and a nonprofit separately prepared to figure out how to spend a combined $7 million on long-term solutions for the homeless.

On Friday evening, the small park between Shelton Avenue, the Farmington Canal Trail, and Hazel Street bloomed into a small arts festival that warmed the cool evening with an explosion of color, sound, and good conversation. It was the beginning of the Artspace-organized Open Source Festival’s weekend of making visual art appear across New Haven, not only from downtown, Westville, and East Rock, but from Newhallville and Dixwell to the Hill and Mill River.
Grand visions of a new community rising from the ashes of the old Hamilton Street clock factory have disintegrated into a foreclosure lawsuit — and finger-pointing between an Oregon-based developer and the Elicker Administration about why it all fell apart.
The Moore family — who found opportunities for better lives in public housing — served as the human face of a celebration of New Haven winning recognition as one of 10 “All-America” cities.

Over 50 people gathered to celebrate the opening and dedication of a new building for The 180 Center, a Christian nonprofit that provides services for addiction and homelessness in New Haven.
Has the clock stopped on a long-delayed effort to convert a derelict former Hamilton Street factory into 130 affordable apartments?
The property’s Oregon-based developer says the project is still moving forward. Three years of unpaid property taxes, a recent default in a tax foreclosure court case, and a spate of city anti-blight and building safety citations suggest a different story.

The pulsating orb-like structure in the Liberty Science Center appears to float, impossibly, high above the heads of people walking below, as if it’s lighter than air, or underwater. The fact that it isn’t just a sculpture, but in fact a playground for children, only adds to its improbable whimsy. Liberty Science Center is in Jersey City, N.J., but the shop that designed and built the orb, Luckey Climbers, is right in New Haven, on East Street. Its chief architect, Spencer Luckey, has been around the playground design business all his life. He took over the company from his father, and has made dozens of climbers for clients all over the world. But he also has a vision for the Elm City.

Residents gathered in Jocelyn Square Park and then walked surrounding blocks on the eve of a zoning vote to demonstrate that they live in a neighborhood — not in “Las Vegas” or an “industrial wasteland” befitting a midnight-to-dawn BYOB strip club.
