N is for New Haven
One month ago I moved to the City of New Haven in Connecticut. New Haven is home to Yale University, the Amistad Schooner and lots of 17th Century history of the first settlers to the new land. I've shown you a few photos of the immediate New Haven Green area. There are lots of great neighborhoods and history that will show up in later ABC Wednesday posts.
A view down Chapel Street that runs along New Haven Green. The 17th century Puritan founders chose a nine square plan with streets and houses that surrounded the Public Square.
The immediate building in the front is City Hall. The carillon chimes to mark the hours. I liked the old framed by the new building.
On New Haven Green there are three churches that sit side by side. One is Episcopal and the other two are United Church of Christ.
This sculpture sits in the city hall plaza. It's titled "On High" by Alexander Lieberman. To view more ABC Wednesday posts click here.

Nice to have a new place to explore. Wishing you happy hunting for those ABC letter around your unfamiliar home.
Beautiful photos. It's interesting to see the new and the old so closely aligned.
These photos make Connecticut look beautiful! I have been there years ago and don't remember it looking this lovely. Though at that time, I may not have been looking for beauty....
New York and New Haven...what a pair! Nice pictures...makes me want to visit one of these days. Good one!
It looks like an interesting place.
