In case you missed it.

Book Trader on Social Media

The legendary BookTrader at 1131 Chapel Street has a very active new Instagram page. One of the best features of it is that you get to know what soup is available that day. This is a great use of technology as I am always wondering what Jenn's soup that day will be. Now the guesswork is over, because of their high quality colorful photos which get posted on a regular basis.

Thanks Social Media!

New Shops at #1Broadway and York

Announcement tomorrow, July 31 at 1:30 PM
at Broadway Island

For months, anticipation has been building, regarding what the future of the storefront space, widely regarded as one of New Haven's most important corners, will look like in the upcoming future. Images streaming from Instagram will be appearing on this page all day tomorrow. Hit refresh to see new ones, if new ones are posted.

The corner of Elm and Broadway has undergone many changes over the years. It was David's Cookies, when I was a kid. Then it became Au Bon Pain for the longest time. ABP is no more, however Maison Mathis has provided the same spacious atmosphere in its location across the street.

The announcement is tomorrow at 1:30pm.
From @TheShopsAtYale:


"We are pleased to announce that on Thursday, July 31 at 1:30 PM on Broadway Island - 56 Broadway, New Haven CT, the shops at Yale will release the identification of the new tenancy for the corner location of the Broadway shopping district, at 1 Broadway."

For more info, please refer to #1broadway or The Shops at Yale

Tag your Instagram at the event with #1Broadway to appear instantly in this post. Check out the posts being generated by #1Broadway on Twitter in the box below for more info regarding this exciting announcement. Tweets will also appear in this page.

Today's Featured Instagram: @MTAHarlemLine

Great photos of the Metro North Harlem Line.  

The MTA Railroad Map.  

Metro-North Railroad has encountered a difficult year in safety; one accident on the New Haven Line in Fairfield this May, and another this week on the Hudson Line Sunday.

Commuter trains are still statistically safer than highways, and also more fuel efficient:  a rail car uses 2812 BTU per passenger mile, whereas a passenger vehicle will use 3538 BTU's (source: US Dept of Energy).  Recently, I discovered the public Instagram account of Emily, who rides the Harlem Line, and takes great pictures along the way. (The Harlem Line is east of the Hudson Line [map], which recently experienced the accident). I asked some questions about her experience using Metro North, and here's what she said.

Today's Featured Instagram: @Yale

@Yale Instagram serves up some of the most amazing images in #nhv.  

If you live in New Haven, or perhaps you're just interested in learning more about New Haven, your +Instagram feed might be considered slightly incomplete without the official @Yale account.  Not just simply a steady stream of high quality images, as with most of Instagram, the channel functions as sort of a flow of current events.  Just 250 followers shy of the 10k mark, it's already one of the most popular local feeds.  It's also a regular user of the #Nhv hashtag, making many of the photographs appear instantly and automatically on this website.

As younger people have been reported via statistics as already migrating from Facebook for information and entertainment, pundits speculate what the next trend will be; the answer is already existent and thriving elsewhere on the World Wide Web.  The internet will be 34 years old in 2014.

The News: Even Funnier on Instagram

Link to WTNH.Com

Many people don't have Instagram or Twitter, nor do they realize the value of those services as they wallow in the mire of the endless stream of the now Myspace-resembling world of Facebook.  What I've discovered is that the news is more interesting on those services but it requires a little skill to learn where to find the best material.  Here's a guy with +WTNH News 8 out here being something of a smart aleck, reporting into his smartphone an occasional witty thought or two.

Impromptu NHV Rainbow Contest Winner

It was really hard to choose because they were all so awesome, but this was decided purely based on which preview looked the most colorful.

@CTGirlAboutTown receives a $50 Gift Certificate to Miyas.  This was a tough decision because we don't want to encourage people to take pictures while driving, although it's possible she was standing in the street or in the passenger seat.

@townofnewhaven And for the record, I was NOT driving. 😛

Runners Up

Maybe we should get this runner up a gift card to get a dark and stormy at Firehouse12!  This is something that we're presently working on at the moment!

Instagram Geotagging on Nhv

Geography is important, and the world is based on places.  People have homes, and 95% of homes are stationary.  While people have a tendency to move, geographical places remain fixed in their position, and that's the importance of the hashtag #Nhv.

The growing list of people who use it can be found on both Instagram and Twitter.  Their ranks are numerous!  This map shows you people who have identified their photographs as "New Haven" via this three-letter code, based on the Amtrak station identification for New Haven, Connecticut.

The goal of this site?  Hopefully to gather a better insight for what is really going on around here!  As well, to solidify the context of our geographic region and to make access to Nhv.Org publicly available.

To post your pictures to this website, just tag it with #Nhv and it'll appear right here.  Or there.  Actually it will show up all over the place, on both the home and mobile versions of the site.

View the mobile version of the site to gather some insight into what is going on at the present moment, through its three major features:

1.  Calendar of Events
2.  Twitter #Nhv Feed
3.  Instagram #Nhv Feed
4.  Articles, such as this one.

You're encouraged to read the articles at a home computer or a desktop for the optimal experience.  Embedded maps don't always appear to work properly on mobile cellphones, even if you have the one that is big enough for Shaquille O'Neal!

Have you been to Roia yet?  It's a relatively new restaurant on College Street.  Recently it's been noted that their kitchen has been keeping tabs on itself via their Instagram account.  Check it out sometime!
