So far, I only have one tiny but utterly breathtaking painting that I was lucky enough to squirrel away from the Churchill Gallery, but I visit my next new painting in their online gallery often. Even when I'm not buying, I'm always asking questions, and the lovely (Belgian?) woman who tolerates me is always very gracious and polite.

Wall to wall and floor to curved ceiling (this is the left front half of a Quonset Hut) filled with fun stuff. Little and not so little knick knacks, statuettes, toys (they had Sock Monkeys! how cool is that?), vintage style clothing, oriental inspired decor items, paintings, jewelery, gemmy stones, fountains, hats, tin-can-robot-art (my favorite). The inventory is dynamic, so almost every visit is a fresh experience. Raffael has another place in New Haven that I have yet to see. Staff here is always helpful and friendly, never over bearing. Be careful when inside as the walkways are narrow, and if you are at all tall, watch-out for things hanging from above (I got lightly cloncked by a wooden monkey, I thought it was an accident, but as I turned away, I may have heard monkey snickers). My thing is getting a coffee next door, then shopping in here. Prices are all over the place in here, but I have purchased items for as low as $4.00 and have seen paintings up into the hundreds. There are just so many items in here that statistically you should find a treasure at the right price. My missing fifth star, like the coffee cafe next door, is mostly for painful parking. Seriously, I did not hold that monkey incident against them, and I have not seen him hanging around lately. But he could be hiding, and waiting, , for me, , , or for you . . . . .

Leitner's is nestled away behind the Divinity School at Yale. When driving on Prospect Street, you have to go up a long driveway to even see it. Out of curiosity, I decided to see what was up the hill one day, and wha-lah, I stumbled onto a whole planetarium. Neat! The planetarium is open to the public on Tuesday nights and Sunday afternoons (check out the schedule here http://bit.ly/1tEK7PT) for FREE shows. The current shows focus on Black Holes. Our moderator, Angelo, walked us through all of the constellations visible from earth on a clear night, and even tied in some Greek mythology. Interesting presentation. The coolest part was the special effects that allow the audience to zoom into stars, it felt like I was whizzing through space. That was the first half of the presentation, about 30 minutes long. In the second part, they show a movie that delves into the mysteries of black holes. On clear nights, after the show, they offer free viewings of the night sky through their massive telescopes. It was a little hazy on the night I went, but I was still able to see Saturn. It was a great outing for the bargain price of... Free! This would be a great experience for families with children or for lovebirds to hold hands while gazing into the stars (gentleman, tell your lady no star is as radiant as she is and your guaranteed a smooch... You're welcome.). An out of this world experience! I'll be back.
