Notes from Woodbridge Hall
This year I will celebrate my thirty-eighth year as a New Haven resident. I have seen many exciting changes come to the Elm City, including wonderful restaurants, stores, and arts and cultural opportunities. In recent years, a number of entrepreneurs have recognized what many of us have long known—...
