Jesse McCartney Transports Fans Through Time
We waited four lingering years for his return and were rewarded with a spirited display of the classics. The Complex swarmed with fans sporting their “Better With You” t-shirts and hot pink Jesse McCartney fanny packs. The bags alone were enough to transport you back to the early 2000’s, but it was his music which actually sent you there. Concert goers went wild for the supporting acts. It wouldn’t be fair to say that every individual in the hall was there for McCartney, not with openers like Just Seconds Apart and PUBLIC performing. Most opening acts leave crowds bored and stagnant, but these two did the exact opposite. Attendees sang, danced, jumped and genuinely had a good time. Just Seconds Apart started the show with pop tunes and a lot of energy. The band, made up of 18-year-old triplets, played several covers of popular songs. Their rendition of a Twenty One Pilots track got the whole crowd singing. While the music they played was upbeat and fun, it was … [Read more...] about Jesse McCartney Transports Fans Through Time
West Haven Doesn’t Renew Senior Medical Transportation Contract, Exploring Other Options
The Greater New Haven Transit District is likely no longer providing a service to take the elderly in West Haven to and from doctors’ appointments and the senior center. Executive Director Kimberly Dunham said the city hasn’t opted to continue the $177,282 contract that expired June 30 of this year. The transit company received a transit voucher through July 20 but no contract has been renewed, so it also became the last day of service. About 50 residents are impacted, Dunham said. Under the most recent contract, the service would take seniors to the doctor, which would cost $1 each way, and to the senior center free of charge, according to Dunham. Trump Was Taped Talking of Paying for Playboy Model's Story “We’re concerned because this was potentially a loss of a vital transportation service that improves the quality of life of seniors in the area and their ability to get out,” Dunham said. But she added that other Greater New Haven Transit … [Read more...] about West Haven Doesn’t Renew Senior Medical Transportation Contract, Exploring Other Options
