February 22, 200619 yr I loved the bluff overlooking New Haven when I went. I had no idea New Haven had that. Great pics. "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
February 22, 200619 yr after years of weekend afternoons hanging out in Battery Park City (such a nice escape from my own depressingly congested and overpriced ghetto for the pseudo-hip) and admiring the ever-growing Jersey City skyline, it's nice to see the view from the other side. One day I may even make it to the mall there; I hear they actually have Sears! And thanks for the Yale pix, since that's about as close as I'll ever get to "going to Yale," though the legendary New Haven pizza sounds tempting... http://www.mainstreetpainesville.org/
February 23, 200619 yr ^ then you haven't lived ink -- believe me its very good. get thee to new haven someday! evdon -- you are talking about the newport mall -- yes its a real mall in the region -- lol! its the stop before this one on the path train (unless you go from the wtc station). ps -- there are also a huge group of designer outlets in warehouses in secaucus too, but you are best of in a car for that. hey, now you got a lot to do next time you rent a car or a city zipcar!
