New Haven is proud to be the culture capital of the state. There is a proud history of starting a vibrant library system.

Now my own neighborhood is threatened.

2. For you non-Nutmeggers out there, Westville is the center of New Haven's Jewish community.

Joe Lieberman hails from there.

5. I pass by his one time house all the time and am reminded of ole Joe. He lives in Stamford now

He lived here so he could walk to shull on the sabbath, because he is an Orthodox Jew.

my street is on the way for the Orthodox nearby to walk on Saturday to their house of worship. I have a parade of families walking to shull every Saturday, pushing strollers. It's nice.

Joe lived in a swankier part of Westville. My neighborhood is solidly middle class. We bought our house from an Orthodox family. We still have the mezuzah right near our front door. It's a work of art to me.

3. I hope they catch whoever

did this and hit him/her with terrorism charges. Severe jail time might be the only way to make these scumbags to go back under their rock.

4. A pressure cooker was found in a trash can outside a bank here in Ohio

a few days ago. There was a bomb squad called in turned out to be nothing. I think that is someone's idea of sick joke.

6. Yes, such pranks cost lots of money to local communities because you MUST have a local bomb

squad clear them. It's a cruel waste of taxpayers money.
