We have heard the slogans, It all happens hear, New Haven Look What We Got,! An All American City! An Empowered City! A Model City! A comprehensive employment and training city! A community action city ! The cultural capital of CT, a youth fair chance city, a fighting back city and on and on.
We should embrace nonetheless that we have an athletic center that is preeminent in New England. We have the third largest Tennis facility in the United States( we will discuss at another time, that is only used a few weeks each year ). An architectural landmark and one of the premier football stadiums in the US. We own an international festival that many cities would die for, more public tennis courts that many many other cities, library facilities comparable to any in the United States, school buildings that are outstanding, regional theatres with international renown, etc.
The Walter Camp Foundation is another New Haven jewell in our crown. The photos from the fan fest are just one of many reflections of our magnetism and importance. New Haven has an historical role, let's not neglect our individual roles in this ongoing saga.
