In case you’ve been living under a rock (and have therefore missed this week’s Herald cover story), you should know that politics are coming to the forefront of every informed Elm Citizen’s conversational arsenal. Tomorrow is the Democratic municipal primary, and after 20 years of Mayor John DeStefano, New Haven is on the cusp of some pretty serious change. If you’re registered to vote, you’ve got no excuse not to. If you don’t know your polling place, stick with us—we’ll help you out.

And while we’re talking about change, the Bullblog is playing another, very different role in the democratic procedure. Every day, New Haven residents and Yale students alike experience systematic deprivation. It has come to the attention of our civic-minded staff that our otherwise beautiful Elm City has, like, nowhere to spin.

This ends now. On Change.org, you’ll find a petition that we created for the purpose of seizing an opportunity—in the form of an empty, prominently located storefront—and developing it into the institution that we most desperately need in these troubled times. Sign now—or be forever condemned to lame cardio.
