Hamden

A large town north of New Haven, Ct. Made up of mostly whites, but also many blacks and hispanics. Mostly suburbs. Large suburb houses on the north side, called mr. carmel, or west woods area, or the boonies, which is mostly white, but more and more blacks and hispanics are always moving in. Smaller suburb houses in the middle and southern side, including spring glen, with a large mix of people. Mostly condos and apartments in the Mix Ave. area, in the center of town, which has the largest mix of people, including many arabs. Southernmost part shares a ghetto called the Ville with New Haven, with mostly blacks. Center of town with the town hall has only small bussinesses. Area considered more of the center of town is the plaza, with many large business departments stores; also where the high school is located, and where most young people spend their free time. Has no movie theater, everybody goes to the North Haven one; has no mall, everybody goes to the Milford or Meriden one. Has many different elementary schools, but one middle school and one public high school. Has a few private schools, including Sacred Heart, Hamden Hall, and West Woods Christian Academy. The students of Sacred Heart are hated by most of the town. Hamden Hall is extremely expensive. Barely anybody knows about West Woods Christian Academy, but is made up of mostly ignorant prejudice white people from Cheshire, Prospect, and Naugatuck.(why they drive so far for school, will never be understood.) Middle school is when all the young kids from different areas of town are forced to start to coexist, and start to be exposed to sex and drugs. The high school is attended by many New Haven kids who pretend theyre from Hamden to get in. Some Hamden kids hate them. Is known for its hockey team and lacrosse team. Is made fun of for its sucky basketball and football team. Has horrible and not enough guidance counselors, and often has racist administrators. Currently has a new principal who is black and very laid back. The school has many fights for a mostly white school, and students smoke pot in some of the bathrooms. Many security guards, some very strict, some unable to enforce anything. A good high school for everybody, because no group of teenagers preside over everything, the way rich kids do in a suburb school or hood kids do in a ghetto school. A high school that's good for absolutely any type of person from any anyplace; although there are many racist people, they don't do or say anything. Many interracial couples walking down the halls. Has many different groups of people, including kids from the ville or other ghetto areas, average black and white kids from lower class suburbs, white kids from the richer part of town who try to be preppy, hispanics, hispanics and arabs who for some reason are friends, and kids who are into emo and/or anime scenes, which includes many bisexuals. Some of these groups are friends with each other, or in between/other, many get along, and most pretend that they get along. Young people from Hamden are often hated and called ghetto by most young people from towns around it, including Cheshire, North Haven, East Haven, West Haven, and Milford. Is sometimes called "H-Town" by the young people. Has three state parks, Sleeping giant, west rock, and east rock.
