Need a spot to store lots of steel rods or planks of wood?
Then you’re in luck, because the New Haven Port Authority has now bought more than three acres of previously state-owned land in the city’s industrial waterfront district — and is looking to lease to companies needing a place to put their shipped-in goods.

Are you in the market for a pair of snake bone earrings or maybe even a lizard wet specimen? Or maybe you’re more into resin earrings or keychains of your favorite pop culture icons, but you still want to check out some taxidermy creatures and gravestone rubbings as well? All that and way more were waiting for you and purveyors of the odd, the weird, and the wonderfully obscure at the third annual New England Antiques and Oddities Exhibition, held this past Sunday afternoon at the Annex YMA Lounge and Hall on Woodward Avenue.

Nine shots had just been fired on a Wednesday afternoon in Fair Haven, and neighbors who called 911 identified the suspects as two men in masks on a three-wheeled motorcycle.
Which is exactly what and who Officer Justin Julianelle saw as he rushed to Blatchley Avenue and Lombard Street in his cruiser.
As the three-wheeler suspected shooters fled from Fair Haven to Wooster Square to Fair Haven again to the Annex, Julianelle followed — but he didn’t “chase.” That’s an important distinction in New Haven these days.
A first-term Annex alder and retired longtime local educator is seeking another two years in office to focus on cleaner parks, slower traffic, and better schools — while his Democratic primary challenger wants to “give a voice to the Annex” after her years of advocacy for her former home neighborhood of Cedar Hill.
Gilberto Gonzalez, Jr. wants to sell the porno movie theater he owns in the Annex — but he can’t find any buyers.
He wants to spruce up the decaying commercial building into an adult cinema to be proud of — but he can’t find any lenders.
He wants to retire and move on from screening sexually explicit films he doesn’t particularly enjoy watching — but he’s still catching up on bills from the theater’s Covid-era closure.
So for now, as he’s done for the past 13 years, Gonzalez shows up to work at the Fairmount Theater on a near daily basis to keep one of New Haven’s last remaining movie houses chugging along. Until whatever happens next.
Days after a rainstorm flooded Tweed airport and left passengers temporarily stranded, mayoral candidates conveyed varying takes on the airport’s economic value and environmental impact to its neighbors.

It took just under half an hour for AnneMarie Rivera-Berrios and a small group of friends to level the mound of mulch that had been sitting by the swing sets at Peat Meadow Park for three months — to make sure that kids have a softer ground to land on the next time they come out to enjoy the Annex public playground.

With his trusty Scag lawnmower sitting quietly behind his truck, an East Haven landscaper won the opportunity to cut the high grass of an abandoned East Shore home — which he’ll soon own after prevailing at a foreclosure sale.

A Massachusetts-based company has purchased a handful of waterfront storage properties in the Annex for over $17 million — in anticipation of a federally subsidized harbor-deepening project that promises to boost business in New Haven’s already bustling industrial port.
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.
A work dispute at a Forbes Avenue car repair shop escalated into a physical fight between two business partners — and ended with one colleague shooting and killing the other, then confessing to the police.
Mayoral candidate Shafiq Abdussabur made a play for East Shore voters by calling for tax cuts for airport neighbors and questioning the removal of Wooster Square Park’s Christopher Columbus statue.
In the process, he and incumbent Mayor Justin Elicker ended up accusing each other of playing “identity politics.” Neither meant it as a compliment. Or as having the same meaning.

The owners of the 26-acre former Townshend family home and its surrounding properties are hoping to write a new chapter of accessible preservation into East Shore history by building roughly 50 homes behind the property’s 18th-century mansion — and by drafting a fresh set of zoning regulations to govern that development.
Chuck and Marcella Mascola, two of the three individuals who purchased that historic estate at 701, 709, 725, and 745 Townsend Ave. a year and a half ago, shared their plan to convert some of the Townsend Avenue property’s open space into housing as they pitched a broader idea to introduce “special heritage mixed use zoning districts” into the city’s zoning code.
U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro brought two concrete contractors before the cameras Wednesday afternoon to deliver an inflation message her fellow Democrats are scrambling to present in the final days of an election season.

A controversial Annex waste transfer station won permission to keep its doors open for another two years — so long as it takes extra steps to cut down on rodents, bad smells, speeding and idling trucks, and inadmissible wet trash.
