In the late 40s ~ early 50's I went to the Y on Keeler and Central. Went
there most every Saturday during the winter months.

When I was a young boy in grammar school in New Haven, I'd take the bus
with a couple of buddies on winter Saturdays to the "Y" downtown to mess
around in the pool, the gym, and on the b'ball courts. It was a great
place in those days, might still be.


That "Y" is where I took the basic Scuba course in the middle of one winter
and got my original certification. Still have the card. I was 16 yo, and
the dive club giving the instructions was called "The Yankee Paddlers".

Do you recall Hull's Hobbies a block down the street toward the Yale
Campus? And there was some sort of diner right across from the "Y" that
I remember. I think it became a Chinese restaurant.
