Thank you Rachel Chang for taking the time to experience Lost in New Haven and our wonderful city’s holy trinity of pizza!

This original photo of Chapel St from State St facing West is from the Blizzard of 1888 that buried the city of New Haven in many feet of snow. It still remains the most destructive snow storm in the city's recorded history.

An article about the Columbus statue now exhibited at Lost in New Haven.
