Later next month I'll be making my first trip to the east coast since
1989 (and my first time on an airplane since 1997) to see a friend in
New Haven, CT.
Anyone know of interesting things to see and/or photograph there or in
areas nearby?
it's been a while for me ... worth seeing architecturally in New Haven,
but not necessarily photogenic, are Louis Kahn's Center for British Art,
Eero Saarinen's "whale" ice rink, and Paul Rudolf's brutalist Art &
Architecture Building, which i understand has just been expanded and
renovated
as museums to visit, an earlier Khan building, the Yale Art Museum,
might be more interesting than the British, and the Beinecke Rare Book
and Manuscript Library usually has fascinating artifacts on display in
its amazing main interior space (go on a sunny day)
when i lived there (30 years ago) New Haven also had some great run-down
areas like old factories and a defunct amusement park at the beach east
of East Rock; i wish i was taking pictures back then ... i'd imagine
they've had their charm removed by redevelopment by now
to me, Mystic Seaport was never that special; i did like seeing
submarines up the coast at Groton -- they have a sub museum there
