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.
I don't. I didn't spend a heck of a lot of time in downtown New Haven,
although we'd go for an occasional concert or to shop at the Yale Co-op.

The Co-Op used to sell button down Gant shirts for $7.95. Same shirts
are now about $100, and the funny thing is they cost less to make now
than they did when I was a schoolboy buying them.

Unfortunately, my display choice does not put the author right up
front.. but I usually don't even get this far and realize is is one of
your "I hate this or that, posts" so I hit the "next" button.....

Not like I don't know where it's going

To downtown New Haven in the "good old days?"

Do you work extra hard at being an asshole, or does your behavior here
come naturally?
