In the wee hours of Sunday morning, I was sitting on the second story of 168 York, watching a celebratory Robin Banks present an excerpt from Grindr: The Opera out on the bar’s courtyard. Everyone was laughing. Everyone was excited to see a new depiction of the now-notorious app, put to music and mulled over […]

Celebrating Solar Youth – Lucy Gellman
Hey New Haveners. Lucy here, back for a short post on Solar Youth, which I’ve been getting into the more I find out about the very cool work it does. At the New Haven Independent‘s offices two weeks ago, Solar Superstars Katie Jones and Gamaliel Moses rocked it during the Great Give 2016, and so I […]

Edgerton Park Conservancy – Lucy Gellman
Hello Elm Citizens! Lucy here, back for a little slice of summer — or something like that — as the temperatures drop into the 30s and our super mild winter becomes just incrementally less mild. Earlier this week, on a gloomy afternoon, I dipped into the Edgerton Park Conservancy, tucked away near the Cliff Street entrance […]
