Fwiw, Connecticut DEEP says it’s not from Ohio, as the winds are coming up from the southwest. This article says it could be dust from Oklahoma maybe?
Edit: The article also posits that the derailment happened a few weeks ago, so the atmospheric pollution should have dissipated by now

Could you park downtown and then Uber over? Not sure how cost-effective that is, but maybe worth a shot

Reply to comment by 6th__extinction in I was visiting New Haven the other day and saw this tag on a bunch of buildings, usually near some cryptic lines. Do any locals have any insight on what it represents? by Rude-Butterscotch713
I saw just “Alabama” spray painted on plywood yesterday downtown, and was very confused. Maybe someone likes country music?

I tried that on Uber but the app said reserve pickup wasn’t available. May try with a cab service. Thanks!

-Polls are open until 8PM today, and as long as you’re in line at 8 you will be allowed to cast your ballot
-If you’re eligible but not registered, you can register in-person if you bring photo ID and proof of residence with you (note: not sure where in New Haven to do this, probably at city hall w/the registrar of voters)
-If you have disabilities or are homeless, see this link for more details on accommodations: https://portal.ct.gov/SOTS/Election-Services/Voter-Information/Where-and-how-do-I-vote
-If you’re wondering who is on the ballot today in New Haven, we have mostly Federal (Senate and House) and state officials (Governor, Senate, assembly, and several other offices like Secretary of State and attorney general). Also there is a local probate judge race, and a referendum to allow early voting in the future

That’s totally fair—I could see how they’re a bit less traditional than Modern, Pepe et al. which might not be everyone’s taste. Admittedly, putting blueberries on the BBQ pizza is a little questionable…

TBH I haven’t had a bad slice in town! However, my main go-to is One Six Three in East Rock, as they are a bit cheaper ($10 for a personal) and have some out-of-the-box flavors to try

I have a friend who lives in a nice complex in downtown West Haven—roomy apt for much less than I’m paying for in East Rock. I would def check around downtown as well.
Good luck with your studies!

You could be right, but the wind direction would have to be correct as well. Check the article—channel 3 updates it w/NOAA meteorologists who say it’s from the dust storm
