New Haven, Connecticut: Downtown Driving Tour (Including Yale Campus)
Our driving tour video of downtown New Haven, Connecticut. The video starts coming off the interstate and making our way around parts of the Yale University Campus.
New Haven was settled as a town in 1638 and incorporated as a city in 1784. The current city population is just over 130,000 while the metro area is closer to 900,000. The city is on New Haven Harbor on Long Island Sound.
The largest building in downtown is the Connecticut Financial Center. This skyscraper is located at 157 Church Street, is 383 feet in height with 26 floors and opened in 1990. This building is seen in the video.
New Haven is 81 miles northeast of New York City, 138 miles southwest of Boston, Massachusetts and 39 miles south of Hartford, CT. The downtown streets were used extensively for the chase scene near the beginning of the iconic movie Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. But that movie here:
Yale University was founded in 1701 and is the third oldest institution of higher education in the United States of America. Home to the Yale Bulldogs, over 13,000 students are enrolled each year with a staff of over 4,000 educators.

New Haven, in the U.S. state of Connecticut, is the principal municipality in Greater New Haven, which had a total population of 862,477 in 2010.[2] It is located on New Haven Harbor on the northern shore of Long Island Sound in New Haven County, Connecticut, which in turn comprises the outer limits of the New York metropolitan area. It is the second-largest city in Connecticut (after Bridgeport), with a population of 129,779 people as of the 2010 United States Census.[3] According to a census of 1 July 2012, by the Census Bureau, the city had a population of 130,741.
New Haven was founded in 1638 by English Puritans, and a year later eight streets were laid out in a four-by-four grid, creating what is now commonly known as the Nine Square Plan,[4] now recognized by the American Institute of Certified Planners as a National Planning Landmark. The central common block is New Haven Green, a 16-acre (6 ha) square, now a National Historic Landmark and the center of Downtown New Haven.
New Haven is the home of Yale University. The university is an integral part of the city's economy, being New Haven's biggest taxpayer and employer.[5] Health care (hospitals and biotechnology), professional services (legal, architectural, marketing, and engineering), financial services, and retail trade also help to form an economic base for the city.
The city served as co-capital of Connecticut from 1701 until 1873, when sole governance was transferred to the more centrally located city of Hartford. New Haven has since billed itself as the Cultural Capital of Connecticut for its supply of established theaters, museums, and music venues.
New Haven had the first public tree planting program in America, producing a canopy of mature trees (including some large elms) that gave New Haven the nickname The Elm City.
Yale University is an American private Ivy League research university in New Haven, Connecticut. Founded in 1701 in Saybrook Colony as the Collegiate School, the University is the third-oldest institution of higher education in the United States. The school was renamed Yale College in 1718 in recognition of a gift from Elihu Yale, who was governor of the British East India Company. Established to train Congregationalist ministers in theology and sacred languages, by 1777 the school's curriculum began to incorporate humanities and sciences. In the 19th century the school incorporated graduate and professional instruction, awarding the first Ph.D. in the United States in 1861 and organizing as a university in 1887.[6]
Yale is organized into fourteen constituent schools: the original undergraduate college, the Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and twelve professional schools. While the university is governed by the Yale Corporation, each school's faculty oversees its curriculum and degree programs. In addition to a central campus in downtown New Haven, the University owns athletic facilities in western New Haven, including the Yale Bowl, a campus in West Haven, Connecticut, and forest and nature preserves throughout New England. The university's assets include an endowment valued at $25.6 billion as of September 2015, the second largest of any educational institution.[7] The Yale University Library, serving all constituent schools, holds more than 15 million volumes and is the third-largest academic library in the United States.[8][9]
Yale College undergraduates follow a liberal arts curriculum with departmental majors and are organized into a system of residential colleges. Almost all faculty teach undergraduate courses, more than 2,000 of which are offered annually.[10] Students compete intercollegiately as the Yale Bulldogs in the NCAA Division I Ivy League.
Yale has graduated many notable alumni, including five U.S. Presidents, 19 U.S. Supreme Court Justices, 13 living billionaires,[11] and many foreign heads of state. In addition, Yale has graduated hundreds of members of Congress and many high-level U.S. diplomats. 52 Nobel laureates, 5 Fields Medalists, 230 Rhodes Scholars, and 118 Marshall Scholars have been affiliated with the University.

History of New Haven, Connecticut / History of towns in United States
Country: United States
State: Connecticut
County: New Haven
City: New Haven
Population (2010):
• City 129,779
• Density 6,500/sq mi (2,500/km2)
• Metro 862,477
New Haven is the second largest city in Connecticut and the seat of New Haven County. Situated on Long Island Sound about 75 miles from New York City, New Haven is both a manufacturing and educational center for Connecticut. Neighboring Waterbury is 21 miles from New Havenand situated on the Naugatuck River.
In the spring of 1638, a group of English Puritans led by Theophilus Eaton and the Rev. John Davenport, settled at the head of New Haven Bay. At first it was ruled by a plantation covenant, but in 1639, the settlers decided to become a theocracy and to be ruled entirely by scripture. The Old Green in the center of the city was laid out by the surveyor John Brockett around 1640.
In 1664, New Haven became part of the colony of Connecticut. From 1701 to 1873, New Haven shared the title of capital with Hartford. During the Revolutionary War, New Haven supported the American cause, although there were numerous Loyalists in the city, 75 of whom had their property confiscated. New Haven was invaded by General William Tryon in 1779, but the British were repulsed before they could burn the city.
Yale College, founded in Saybrook, was moved to New Haven in 1717, where it developed into Yale University. Some of Yale's buildings are found around the Old Green, along with three churches that were built in 1814: Trinity, Center, and United. Another landmark is the Ives Memorial Library, the central library of the New Haven Free Public Library, built in 1908. The New Haven Symphony Orchestra is the fourth oldest symphony in America, having given its first performance in 1895.
Edgerton Park is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Edgewood Park began with sixty acres donated in 1889. Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. designed the layout in 1910.
In 1954, Mayor Richard Lee began his first of eight terms as Mayor of New Haven. Lee hoped to stem the emigration of the middle class, eliminate the slums and revitalize the economy. More than $300 million dollars was spent in public and private construction in renewal areas during Lee's administration.

Yale-New Haven Hospital is the primary hospital associated with Yale University. St. Raphael's Hospital, founded in 1907, also co-operates with Yale's medical school.
However, revitalization of many areas of the city continued after Lee left office in 1969. Wooster Square, which in the 1950's was a slum, is now home to new commercial and industrial buildings and an established historic district. In 1994 The Audubon Arts Center Complex was completed. Revitalization is also occurring in Science Park, the East Shore community, the harborfront, Upper State Street and many other areas.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
New Haven is a coastal city in the U.S. state of Connecticut. It is located on New Haven Harbor on the northern shore of Long Island Sound in New Haven County, Connecticut, and is part of the New York metropolitan area. With a population of 129,779 as determined by the 2010 United States Census, it is the second-largest city in Connecticut after Bridgeport. New Haven is the principal municipality of Greater New Haven, which had a total population of 862,477 in 2010.New Haven was the first planned city in America. Founded in 1638 by English Puritans, a year later eight streets were laid out in a four-by-four grid, creating what is commonly known as the Nine Square Plan. The central common block is the New Haven Green, a 16-acre (6 ha) square, and the center of Downtown New Haven.

Benedict Arnold - Center Church And New Haven Green
Benedict Arnold's first wife, New Haven native Margaret Mansfield Arnold, is buried in what is now the basement of the First Church of Christ, also called The Center Church. This was the site of the first church in New Haven, built by the city founders in 1639. Arnold married Margaret Mansfield there in 1767. The church now on the site is the fourth, built from 1812 to 1814, over a portion of the original cemetary that was behind the previous churchs. In the shallow basement are over 100 headstones dating back to 1687 that were left undisturbed at the original ground level of over 300 years ago. Margaret Arnold, who died in 1775 at age thirty, is one of them. I'll try to get footage of the crypt and Margaret's grave to post.

350 International Climate Day in New Haven, Connecticut
Clips from 350 Day at New Haven, Connecticut in the US. The music in the video was performed at the event itself by the group you see in the beginning. The citizens in the latter half of the video are standing to form a giant 350 on the lawn of New Haven's green. It was photographed by a man at the top of a skyscraper. The bells that you can hear chime as the camera ascends the flag pole are the nearby church bells ringing 350 times.

Tour of Westville (New Haven) Connecticut
Westville – a neighborhood of the City of New Haven, Ct., an area Pearce Real Estate serves for buying or selling a home.
Westville is a great neighborhood to call home. Diverse, cultural, educated, community-minded are words residents use to describe this enclave. Located in the northwest corner of New Haven, Old Westville Village, designated an historical landmark, is boarded by the Yale Bowl and University-owned playing fields, the Connecticut Tennis Center where world class talent plays every August, Edgewood Park with walking trails and waterways and its own public basketball and tennis courts, Forest Road and a section of Whalley Avenue which is home to the area’s businesses, numerous cafes, bistros and restaurants such as Lena, Stone Hearth, Bella’s, and House of Chao; critically-acclaimed art galleries including the Gabriel deSilva’s Frame Shop and Kehler Liddell ; antique shops; and the famous Lyric Hall Theater, venue for lively music and scores of talented visual and performing artists.
Residential streets south of the bustling center are lush with mature trees, green lawns and large, stately homes which reflect the architectural styles of early to mid 20th century America. Take a morning run or evening stroll, as many residents do, down McKinley and Alston Avenues or on upper Chapel Street and marvel at the colonial, Tudor, bungalow, art and craft, and even Spanish-revival styles. Walk the dog or wheel the baby in the carriage to the Yale Bowl via tree-lined Cleveland Road, where one side abuts the open polo fields. Apartments and condos, built in the style of the surrounding architecture, fit right in on Fountain Street close to the commercial area. The population is as varied as the architecture: young, professional couples with children; hip artistic types; older “Villagers” who raised their families there and still enjoy the communal ambiance of the area; doctors, lawyers and bio-tech executives who drive the short distance to their workplaces in downtown New Haven. Neighbors know each other and gather together for community events such as the annual Spring ArtWalk, block watch meetings, legislative hearings on traffic control or fund raising drives. At Christmas, carolers with fire-lit lanterns walk the streets and sing in return for freshly baked goodies; at Halloween, children and their parents go door to welcoming door with their increasing heavy bags of treats.
Westville is home to two distinguished elementary (kindergarten through 7) magnet schools and the Hopkins School, a private institution founded in 1660, for grades 7 through 12. It is close to Southern Connecticut State University, the University of New Haven, and, of course, Yale University. It’s a quick drive for access to Interstates 91 and 95, as well as the Merritt Parkway. Area churches (including one in the Korean language) and synagogues, all within walking distance, schedule events for children and seniors. Community events and numerous reading programs for children are held at Mitchell Library (including classes by Literacy Volunteers of New Haven). The Library’s adjacent Beecher Park is the summer setting for Monday evening picnics and concerts with beautiful West Rock as the backdrop. The best gathering of residents is on Sunday mornings when the cafes are filled with those who brunch and then visit the area’s Farmer’s Market held at Edgewood Park for local produce and artisan wares.
Visit Westville soon. There’s a lot to like.
