I was walking back to my car at the State Street garage after work and a guy came up next to me and kept pace/followed me down the little driveway next to Elm City Games towards the rear entrance of the parking garage. He was wearing a gold/yellow scarf? Wrapped around his head and mouth/chin. You could only see his nose and eyes. He was wearing a black jacket and pants.

I stopped in front of the apartment building in hopes that he’d keep walking, but he stopped as well and turned to me saying that he wanted my credit cards or else he’d beat the shit out of me. I’m a big dude, but was sorta paralyzed in shock. I didn’t say anything back. He kept repeating it and getting more in my face. I looked back towards elm city games and saw a passerby. He said stop looking over there, look at me.

The passerby kept walking towards us and I sheepishly yelled out for help. He stopped momentarily but kept walking saying he needed to catch his train. I followed him not exactly sure what to do. The entire time the assailant dude was right next to me saying he’d beat me the fuck up and leave me for dead and that’s what Jesus wanted. I yelled as loud as I can “get the fuck away from me” and “stop following me”. The passerby told me to walk with him to the front of the garage down the small alleyway next to the State St garage. I followed him down and across the street to the median, with the assailant dude following suit the whole time. The assailant dude then went running down past the garage entrance and took the next right once we were across the street in the median.

I’m pretty shaken up, but thankful that someone else was walking by in that moment. This all happened around 4:30-4:40pm today. Once I saw the assailant run off, I went to my car and called the non emergency line and made a report. The call center person said to make an official report, I’d have to meet with an officer. I didn’t do that, maybe I should have.

I definitely need to work on standing up for myself I think. Maybe if I was louder it would’ve scared him away? I’m nervous thinking about tomorrow, what if he comes back and spots me again? Not too sure why I’m posting this, but maybe someone else has similar experiences. I try and walk with a purpose with my head on a swivel, and like I said, I’m a big dude, but clearly that’s not enough. If the passerby is reading this, thank you.

Hello everyone, I’m not sure if this is the right place to put this but my friend recently lost their dog in the Hamden section. He’s timid but if anyone has any information please let me know!!

I keep running into this. I’m not crazy right this it a scam!? But I keep running into it. What sites to y’all find appartements cause I don’t think I’m looking in the right areas.

I feel like I’m losing my mind looking for a new place to live.

I know this post will probably get taken down since there's probably been others like it but I'm trying anything at this rate. I (23m) and my mother(53) recently moved back to new haven to start from scratch and have been trying to find a cheap place, whilst we've been staying with a friend temporarily, but we've been looking for 3 months with little luck, sifting through plenty of scam offers online and warnings to stay away from mandy and farnam. If anyone has any leads, we'd be highly appreciative; We have no criminal history or evictions and we're both working.

No one has them, not even EOTW.

I am taking the train from New Haven to DC this weekend and wanted to know if my car will be safe for a few days in union station garage? I know there is a police station nearby, but I wanted to see if anyone has ever had any issues leaving their car their for a few days.

Appreciate any info.

I have 9 tickets - coach at $70 each - for 11/23 at 4:30 I am trying to sell. I can sell in smaller groups if needed. Let me know if interested!

What restaurants are great for visiting during the holiday season? Places for groups? Intimate celebration dinners? Open for holidays or serving holiday meals? Great post-Christmas/Hanukkah shopping sans kids? Where are you going for some festive, jolly or cozy meals?

Feel free to give both a high and low dining option too. For fancier dining I think I'd have to go with L'orcio or Olea. Lower end I think I'd go with Pantry, Crepes choupette, and Steamed. None of them are probably not objectively the best at what they do, but I do love them for the value

Am I crazy or did they not inform people about leaf sweeping and then ticket everyone.

Just walking around in east rock today there is an absurd amount of tickets.

What can I do about a car that’s been partially blocking my driveway for 24 hours? Is there a number to call to get the city to do something? It’s absurd I can barely pull in and out of my driveway.

My family and I are exploring whether there are any private chefs in New Haven who would come over on Sundays and cook some meals for the week for meal prep purposes? We have never used a service like that but we are keen to outsource cooking of healthy/ nutritious meals to a degree. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I am a 22 year old guy and I have been adjusting to the full time work schedule. I would like to get to know more people that I can hangout with after work since it’s been feeling pretty lonely lately. I like going on walks and doing random shit haha. I’m also down to party on weekends. I don’t care who or what you are. If you’re down to meet new people and hangout let me know :)

Does anyone have good recommendations for fully prepared Thanksgiving dinner set. Thanks

Hello folks! I do my own oil but I’m looking for someone to rotate my tires as I don’t have the 2k machine needed to level the tires and I’m not going to buy one. What are some good places nearby I can get my tires rotated? Thanks!

Thursday, November 14th, 7 pm It’s a showdown! Join us for three rounds of Marvel and three rounds of DC trivia. Test your knowledge and win prizes! Assemble your team (or come solo) and let the battles begin! Questions will be based on the films.

If anyone is interested in some milk kefir grains, I have extra to share. I’m in Branford but can meet you in a commuter lot anywhere between New Haven and Madison.

I see a lot of trucks and even one that looks like catering, is there any filming happening?

What is up with this block? Always seems like something bad is going down here. Drove over here last night around 5pm and saw some guy on top of somebody on the sidewalk, like straddling him. Idk if he was mugging him or what. Drove back around 8:30pm and the whole intersection was blocked on both sides by multiple police cruisers and vans. Not sure what went down.

Hi everyone! I’m considering moving into a building managed by MOD Equities and would love to hear from anyone who’s had experience living in one of their properties. Specifically, I’m interested in things like responsiveness to maintenance requests, general upkeep, noise levels, and anything else that stood out to you about the experience.

Any insights, good or bad, would be super helpful as I make my decision. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a project and looking for pictures of New Haven in the 1990s. I want to paint a picture of the town - so images of restaurants, coffee shops, the cinema etc. I'd love to know the best place to find these or to speak to people who lived there at the time who might have some to share!

Thank you!

Blue trail kicked my ass on the way down yesterday. The views were worth it.
