Reply to comment by Eklectic1 in Yale Student Pedestrian Struck by Temporary-Car7981

I grew up in and around the city, and was very conscious of crossing the roads. For a brief time I moved out west to a town where they took pedestrian right-of-way very seriously. I was confused at first when I’d be at a curb and cars would stop, and even honk with impatience while I habitually waited for them to pass. It took a while to get used to that.

I only spent a few months there, but when I got back to New Haven I was so used to cars stopping that I nearly got hit a few times until I re-learned to be safe.

Reply to So ….does anyone else smell a foreign scent outside? Was just walking out my back door I can’t place what it is. Slightly panicked that is from Ohio…. by Smokeshow-Joe

Yup, that smell. Plus I noticed some crazy white stuff on the roads all day yesterday that looked like road salt, except obviously they weren't laying down salt for 50-70 degree weather.

Of course locals in Ohio aren't getting a straight answer, I doubt we'll even get sideways glance by officials this far away.

I could swear there was a big legal todo about estimates and final price in Connecticut back in the 80s (hence those legal looking signs about estimates in auto places). For that amount it might be worth looking into that.
