Stand by it but willing to walk away :P

this is from an article that was deleted put I do plan to work on it and pop it up again some time down the road :) Poison Ivy

A phrase coined by the Pulitzer Finalist Graham Rayman of The Village Voice when referring to Columbia University's take over of West Harlem. Now a term used by residents of host towns of Ivy League Universities in New England. Residents are seeing the areas around the universities being bought up for expansion and high income housing. Result is gentrification of the cities.

• Bishop Gate - The first road to the top of East Rock was called the Old Stewart's road. It started near Rice Field in Cedar Hill, up to the summit via the dip between East Rock and Indian head. The newly formed Parks Commission constructed Indian Head Drive in 1890 which started at Bishops Gate on State Street and over Snake Rock, Indian Head and to the top of East Rock.

Now Bishops Gate is closed off due to falling rocks but the two Red rock pillers still mark the start of a fantastic trail for biking and joggers.

• English Gate - Also finds a home in Cedar Hill

first resident of Connecticut whose work is of importance

The first resident of Connecticut whose work is of importance seems to have been Dr. Eli Ives, who was born in 1779, and was for many years professor of botany and materia medica in Yale College. He was the author of the species decurrens, which was founded on specimens from New Haven and from the margin of the Housatonuck about 30 miles from Long Island Sound.He also described as a new species Asclepias lanceolata from Cedar Hill, New Haven, which is the plant now http://books.google.com/books?id=SxIcAAAAMAAJ&pg=RA1-PA11&sig=AIOPhdI-MlYdcdMfzqHyg8bDQ2Y&hl=en#v=onepage&q&f=false
