Top Ten Totally Tempting, Terrifically Titillating, Wooster Square Treats!
I will miss David Letterman. As a kid in high school, I had one of these little tvs by my bed. Of course this was before cable, so in Detroit, there were not a lot of options. One of the best though was getting the Windsor Canada stations for Hockey Night in Canada.
Yes, and that was before HD tv, which is akin to the difference between listening to an am radio station and FM on a nice stereo. I have no idea how we followed the puck, but nobody knew any better.
David used to come on at 1:00am and I frequently watched. Sometimes staying later to see Tom Snyder on the Tomorrow show. Now it's hard to stay up past 10 at night!
Great things are happening here in Historic, World Famous Wooster Square! Yale, Southern Connecticut University, Albertus Magnus and Gateway all had their graduations. Our Elm City slows down a bit, but not until after Memorial Day Weekend.
Lighthouse Point last Fall
New Haven's Lighthouse Point is a real treat on Memorial day if you fun, sun, a splash pad, beach, swings, playground, cooking areas, a boat launch...
and oh yeah, a great old merry go round in the open air building that also can be rented out. Lot's of weddings her. Could it get any better? Sure, its a National Birding site, where volunteers track migrating hawks, eagles and others.
Kudos to Parks Department head Christy Hass,
who with her staff do an amazing job
with an amazing park system.
Thanks Christy!
Did you know that Brooklyn New York now considers
New Haven to be hip! Yup, the hip website
Brooklyn Vegan points to the opening of the
College Street Music Hall, across from
the Shubert Theater.
Of course, it's hip to be Square,
Wooster that is!

While the Blossom Blog Mainframe giggles its bits, and contacts David at his retirement home after his nap and an afternoon bridge game...
***the entire top ten is entirely made up using a complicated
formula that cannot be revealed. Any resemblance to David Letterman
and the David Letterman show is completely intended. If offended Dave,
I will buy you a clam pie next time you are in New Haven.
Take a look around the Square and see how summer is just about to set in next week!
Green settling in nicely
Our Bonsai Sakura
(the posting says it will be cut down,
but don't worry, its part of the comprehensive plan
to keep the trees on Hughes Place sustaining
not only for now, but future generations!
Thanks again Christy Hass!)
