When my wife and I bought our first house in 1987, we chose a side street within walking distance of Westville Village, the New Haven enclave at that time lined with second-hand antique shops and other small businesses.We liked the idea of being able to walk down Fountain Street to patronize a classic neighborhood post office, a branch library (Mitchell), an independent pharmacy where we could buy newspapers and other sundries (D'Andrea's), a great hardware store (Jackson-Marvin), a car repair garage (Aquila Motors) and a nice variety of restaurants: the Cade Codder, Hy's Village Restaurant, House of Chao.
