Everything Killingly (and Therefore Danielson too) I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state. I plan on “completing” Killingly CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. After all, … [Read more...]
Killingly’s Town Trails Intro
Killingly’s Trails Killingly me softly... I find Killingly to be one of the most fascinating towns in Connecticut. I can’t really pinpoint why, exactly, but it has a lot to do with the fact it is, perhaps, the ultimate Swamp Yankee town.

It also doesn’t really mean much, but Black Pond is tiny and often overlooked and yet, there are 117 beers of theirs listed on … [Read more...]
118-(and counting)-Year-Old Lemon Tree
A Real Lemon Party Logee's Greenhouse, Danielson June 3, 2011 I feel badly for people who live in Danielson. Ever since The Karate Kid, everyone must say the name of the town like "Daniel-san!" And that must be annoying. Almost as annoying as the fact that Danielson isn't even a real town but is instead the … [Read more...]
Zip’s Diner
Zip’s Diner Dayville section of Killingly July 6, 2011 I realize that these very few and far between classic diner posts may just look like an excuse to post even more pictures of Damian. Eh, you may be right. So far I’m two for two in diner experiences as far as Damian being well-behaved and not having a … [Read more...]
40. Killingly Historical Society Museum
Killingly Softly With Randomness Danielson section of Killingly (Google Map Location) February 2, 2008 Quick question for you locals: Where's Danielson? Where's Killingly? Trick question... Apparently, Danielson is actually not a real town, but rather a Borough of Killingly. So even though all the highway … [Read more...]
