Srinivasan and Janssen.
Researchers Sanam Shah and Ariel Spiegel are presenting the findings of a project that may, once and for, stick it to the man. Their advisor is watching with eagerness as Spiegel turns on the fire, cutting straight to the chase about how they’ve uncovered evidence, real evidence, of corporate wrongdoing, creating active ecological harm. She’s flush with her commitment. That’s when Shah gets worried. Isn’t her presentation maybe a little too subjective? Her advisor disagrees; if anything, he suggests, Spiegel should lay it on thicker. After all, the passion is backed up by hard data. Isn’t it?
That’s when Shah suddenly looks worried. She’s found an anomaly. But she can fix it. She knows she can. In that moment, it’s hard to tell whether she’s reassuring them or herself.

Long Wharf Theatre
The three women in the room — two sisters and a TV host — are wearing safety glasses. It’s time to start demolishing the house the sisters grew up in. The TV host, all smiles, hands one of the sisters a sledgehammer, so she can do the honors of striking the first blow. Time stops, and there’s a fight. Time starts again, and the sister swings the hammer and puts a huge gash in the wall. That’s when something starts oozing out, like thick blood from a wound. Is that supposed to happen? No one knows.

Looking from Long Wharf towards the industrial port in the Annex: Federal funds to be used to deepen the channel to allow for more, larger ships.
City Engineer Giovanni Zinn at Monday's presser.
Look for more room for bigger ships carrying steel, cement, and oil to New Haven’s industrial waterfront — and less room for climate-change-exacerbated storm surges to inundate the streets and highway on Long Wharf.

As she moves from one side of the stage of Long Wharf to the other, actor Cloteal L. Horne transforms herself 25 times, from Jewish preschool teacher to Black playwright, from a girl in middle school to a minister in the Nation of Islam, from a rabbi to a Guiyanese immigrant. It’s a feat of performance in the service of a now-classic play — Fires in the Mirror, running at Long Wharf now through Feb. 6— that tries to get at the deeper truths in an incident of racial violence that happened 30 years ago, the roots of which lay in centuries of prejudice, and the specter of which still hangs over us today.

Monday night’s Board of Alders meeting.
Alders unanimously approved plans to build up to 500 new apartments on Long Wharf after arguing that the city’s waterfront should be developed and protected — not abandoned — amid climate change.
Owner Anthony Antonakis at his now-shuttered Long Wharf restaurant: “It is what it is.”
The doors are shut, the chairs are coming out, and a “for lease” sign now stands on a grassy strip of Sargent Drive — as The Greek Olive, a diner that for two decades doubled as a local political deal-making hangout, has shuttered for good.

Vietnam vet Reginald Jackson makes the first trek to the Long Wharf monument.
Reginald Jackson is a Vietnam Marine Corps vet whose birthday also happens to be on Nov. 11 — aka Veterans Day.
On Thursday afternoon Jackson came for the first time in his life to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial at Long Wharf and placed his hands on the names of his friends, fellow Wilbur Cross High School classmates who served in Vietnam but never made it back, engraved on the stone beneath the V.

Design rendering of new apartments planned for Long Wharf.
Plans to build up to 500 new apartments on Long Wharf won a key aldermanic approval — after two city department heads made their pitches for why New Haven should not have to wholly abandon waterfront development, even amid climate change.

Sliding five new $100 bills into a self-serve kiosk at Sports Haven, Vinny Rosarbo bet on more than just the New Orleans Saints beating the Seattle Seahawks.
He was also throwing his support behind a statewide wager that newly legalized gambling options will help Connecticut more than it will hurt by promoting the kind of addiction that led a state representative to resign his position the same day.

The City Plan Commission unanimously advanced a proposal to build up to 500 new apartments on Long Wharf — despite the advice of a top state environmental regulator who advocated rejecting waterfront residential developments as unduly dangerous due to climate-change-induced flooding.

On the bare stage of Long Wharf Theatre is one of those huge packing crates used for shipping props or sets. A man comes out of the shadows and pushes it further back, then opens its doors to reveal a theatrical space with a curtain and graceful designs on the wings. If you’re a regular theater-goer who hasn’t been in a theater since the Covid-19 lockdown began — and certainly not at Long Wharf Theatre’s stage at Sargent Drive, which has been closed since the spring of 2020 — that simple act of opening the crate to make theater on stage is striking, thrilling, magical.
A car-jacking spree turned into a tractor-trailer-jacking that resulted in 10 crashed vehicles, a rush-hour traffic jam, and a fight with an ex-assistant police chief who happened to be on I‑95 and rushed to the rescue.
