Spent Sunday in New Haven with Y, my younger brother. Lunched at Atticus, visited the Yale Coop/Farm, and watched Burma VJ.
Got a ride up to Middletown with G, a Democratic field staffer and recent Wesleyan alum. Arrived at the Democratic Headquarter to volunteer for Matt Lesser's re-election campaign. Matt is an old friend who happens to represent Connecticut's 100th district in the state legislature.
Surprisingly organized headquarters. Within minutes of arriving, I was calling potential volunteers.
Middletown is chilly in November.
Loisaida is a term derived from the Latino (and especially Puerto Rican) pronunciation of "Lower East Side", a neighborhood in Manhattan, New York City. Loisaida Avenue is now an alternate name for Avenue C in the Alphabet City neighborhood of New York City, whose population has largely been Hispanic (mainly Puerto Rican) since the late 1960s.
