Reply to comment by editorgrrl in Look, I just came down here for a class. This is the second major East Rock fire within three hours on very nearly the same block?? by catsmash

thank you!! what a damn night.

edit: definitely saw i think a few (but at least one) people getting hauled off on stretchers in the wake of the second one. one girl was sitting in the street, crying & screaming (i think probably pretty reasonably), but i don't think she was physically hurt. broken glass everywhere with all the busted windows. it was pretty rough business!

Reply to Any interesting events happening on Sunday? by [deleted]

Both ELY Center and City Gallery have art exhibitions both ending Sunday (I think). City is physically small, and from there you can walk to ice skating at Skate New Haven, or the ER Brewery. If you instead do ELY, you are steps away from delish brunch bagels at Olmo and the new WitchBitch thrift shop.
