- [Only Bright Spot in a Dark Day](https://ccurban.com/only-bright-spot-in-a-dark-day/): During a difficult workday, Bogui ETTE paused at Shell Beach in East Haven to admire the sunset—a brief moment of beauty before returning to work.
- [An Evening Reset at Gulf Beach](https://ccurban.com/cc-urban-submission/): By: George Morgan Jr.
- [Contributor Guide: Sharing a Community Memory](https://ccurban.com/when-local-memory-needs-a-footnote/): A family recollection and a confirmed date can both belong in a city story, but they are not the same kind of evidence. Keeping that distinction visible helps readers trust what they read.
- [Contributor Guide: Creating a Local Photo Essay](https://ccurban.com/what-makes-a-photo-essay-feel-local/): A row of windows or a familiar bus stop can say more than a skyline. Build a photo essay around the details that show how a place is lived in.
- [Start With the Block You Know](https://ccurban.com/start-with-the-block-you-know/): A neighborhood story does not need a sweeping premise. Start with a place you return to, a detail you keep noticing, and the people who can help put it in context.
- [Holding the Sunset at East Rock](https://ccurban.com/holding-the-sunset-at-east-rock/): Newly married, a sunset hike at East Rock Park became one of our first memories together in New Haven. Photo and memory by JR · October 6, 2026.
