New Haven was one of only a few Connecticut towns I had heard of before I moved to the state--or, consciously, had an association with the state. I knew Hartford for being the state capital and New Haven for Yale. (And, probably Greenwich, depending on how much time I would have been given to think about it.)New Haven is the largest city I've gotten to know well in my time here. I've spent time here for a variety of reasons. For a while a friend lived in the area. After that I took graduate classes at Southern Connecticut State University.
There are so many things to see and do in New Haven, I'm sure we'll make a ton of trips here in the future.
