Reply to Why aren't more traffic tickets written? by cmndo

Red light and stop sign tickets are $300 last I recall. Sounds like we need traffic violation fund dispersement reform in our state so that the cities/towns get the money where the infraction is committed and then maybe cops will care when they watch people run lights every day.

Reply to comment by curbthemeplays in Anyone know if the Jaigantic Studios project has moved forward at all? by curbthemeplays

Hmm, maybe you're right. I was told by a friend who is a regular at Nebco that they'd decided to stay in Woodbridge. I thought it had to do with fighting appeals of variances they were granted for the new location in West Haven (and there are stories up about that: https://www.nhregister.com/news/article/Jimmie-s-files-second-appeal-against-West-17436419.php#photo-22919311), but maybe I'm wrong and they haven't formally announced any change in their plans to relocate.

Reply to Recommendations for a new New Haven-er by faelady8080

I recommend finding a place near the Edgewood Park. On the Edgewood street side. Closer to Chapel which has a few museums down the road and it’ll lead right in to down town for all the other things you’re looking for. pricing is decent, the area is…… not the safest, but you learn to ignore the monthly shooting.
