DAVE GONG | For The Journal Gazette
For some who attended New Haven’s Independence Day Celebration, the party meant the city is on the rebound after a difficult year.
"I think it means that the country is back on track and New Haven is back on track," Becky Hayes said.
As if to underscore the sentiment, as the parade to commemorate the city’s second annual July 4 celebration began, it was waylaid about 10 minutes by an errant freight train that had parked along the track intersecting Broadway street.
