West River Fishway (Removed)
Dam, Yo! West River Fishway Behind a Walgreens on Whalley Ave, New Haven In 2015, the dam and fishway were removed - which is a good thing! Fish now have a direct path to get to where they're going.

118-(and counting)-Year-Old Lemon Tree
A Real Lemon Party Logee's Greenhouse, Danielson June 3, 2011 I feel badly for people who live in Danielson. Ever since The Karate Kid, everyone must say the name of the town like "Daniel-san!"
