Yes, high speed passenger rail is up to something like 280mph+ in Asia, and New Haven is just about 300 miles from DC. Even the Acela is advertised as being able to hit 150mph, but can barely cross 65mph because of how outdated the track is.

Reply to comment by SixToesLeftFoot in CT residents would see billions in medical debt erased under Lamont plan: 'It's the right thing to do' by savings2015

Appreciate the input, but the home was still in her name at the time of death so it was up for grabs as soon as her estate opened. Luckily we knew enough to protect ourselves from getting on the hook for anything personally, but still such a shame to see the roof she worked tirelessly through treatment to keep over my sister and I's head basically go up in smoke because this country cares more about profits than human life.

My mother passed away in '18 after a long battle with Breast Cancer and was burdened with tens of thousands in medical debt at the end of it even with decent insurance through Access Health. Sister and I had to forfeit our family home to creditors as a result. This is such a welcome move, though I wish some system to prevent this debt from accruing again was also underway. Happy to see CT leading in this area for once.

East Rock Market for food, Escape New Haven for an Escape Room, Ikea for some aimless wondering (I know I'm in the minority on people that probably enjoy this), IT at Jordan's if you're into ropes courses/etc. (also another great place to aimlessly wonder), Barracuda for Happy Hour, Trevor Wallace at College Street Music Hall Friday Night and Andrew Callahan on Saturday Night for comedy, Trinity for World Cup Matches, and Walker Ice Rink.

Lucibello's in New Haven is solid for all Italian deserts, but I probably have to rank Petonito's in Northford above it if you don't mind going a bit out of the way.

Reply to DJ’s in NHV that have a following? Looking to have experimental ambient electronic nights on the reg in an east rock late night cafe by falafelfella

As someone who's actively been involved in the local/regional electronic scene for almost a decade, can't say I know of anyone local that spins anything reminiscent of experimental ambient type stuff (stuff like Kraftwerk?). I do have a decent amount of connections in the area with more conventional techno, house, disco, bass, jungle, etc. DJ's if that's something you're also open too. Feel free to shoot me a DM.

Honestly, frozen Zuppardi's pies would be hilarious for a secret Santa. Might be a logistical nightmare keeping them frozen while traveling, but if you can make it work...
