Message: [QUOTE="DarthGrumpy, post: 1651162, member: 2141"] New Haven was a mess for a good part of the late 80's through the early 00's. There was a "rumor" in college that Chelsea Clinton wanted to go to Yale; but, the Secret Service was worried that they would be out-gunner and pushed the Clintons to send her to Stanford instead. By the early 00's, Yale and New Haven finally figured out that their success was tied together and Yale began to invest in the city. While parts are still rough, like Fair Haven and Dixwell Avenue, downtown and the along Orange St are really nice now. Spent a weekend in New Have a year or two back for a wedding and was impressed and I think it will only get better as Stamford and Norwalk continue to get more expensive and as I don't think people are sold on downtown Bridgeport yet. Off the coast I think UConn moving into downtown Hartford will really help that city. Middletown will be OK with Wesleyan. Not so optimistic about Meriden and Waterbury. [/QUOTE]
