Elm City #18!

New Haven, truly a jewel of the eastern seaboard, ranks 18th on the latest list of the FBI's most dangerous cities. The Lou, as in St. Louis, took the top spot, while the Dirty Have barely beat out it's I-91 neighbor Hartford by a spot. The most disappointing thing about this is that New Haven is allegedly more dangerous than Newark, NJ. I operate in the middle of New Haven and refuse to step foot in Newark (well, really New Jersey generally except when I have to visit Phil) so I am not sure what this all means.

But what I do know is that New Haven is a pretty sweet place to live (at least one TCD fan who also happens to be my roommate - weird coincidence - would agree) and also ranks on the following important lists:

Birthplace of the hamburger

First (and best?) pizza in the US
#3 ranked college hockey team in the land
