The Lifeguard (2013)

May 7, 2020 by Steve 1 Comment

Zero Life The Lifeguard, 2013 "The Lifeguard is a painfully dull (alleged) drama utterly lacking in originality or self-awareness," said Jordan Hoffman of Film.com who gave the film a 2.7/10. I should have listened to Jordan Hoffman. I like Kristen Bell. She seems like a good egg, and I really love "The Good … [Read more...]

CTMQ’s Guide to Colebrook

May 6, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Everything Colebrook 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” Colebrook CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. … [Read more...]

Colebrook’s Town Trails

May 6, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Colebrook's Town Trails Don't worry, your friends probably don't know where Colebrook is either. It's okay - Colebrookians like it that way. (It's north of Winsted on the Massachusetts border if that helps.) And while it is mostly either forest or reservoir, there really don't seem to be too many "town trails." … [Read more...]

Colebrook Land Conservancy

May 5, 2020 by Steve 1 Comment

Colebrook Land Conservancy Colebrook Colebrook is beautiful. Colebrook is the Connecticut town that time forgot. A store, a church or two, some houses of course, and... a whole lot of woods. Most of those woods are the Algonquin State Forest, but the local land conservancy has a few parcels as well. One … [Read more...]

LaSalette Open Space

May 5, 2020 by Steve 1 Comment

On a Mission LaSalette Open Space, Bloomfield July 2019 & April 2020 I've seen this place called LaSalette Park as much as LaSalette Open Space. Get it together Bloomfield. The property bumps up against the Wintonbury Land Trust's Hawk Hill Farm property and the maps of both sort of bleed over into each other. Get … [Read more...]

Rising Star (2013)

May 3, 2020 by Steve 1 Comment

A Long Walk... Rising Star, 2013 This movie is no longer available on YouTube. You lose. Rising Star is not a good movie. And yet... And yet it is the exact type of movie for which I created my massive "Connecticut Movies" list. Therefore, I love it. I love its earnestness and its commitment to Hartford. And … [Read more...]

Prospect Land Trust Intro

April 30, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Prospect Land Trust Prospect When I think of Prospect, I think of the caricature old toothless 49'er prospector. And that was before my friend Matt, who lives in Prospect, told me that whenever he tells people he lives in town he does the toothless arm jive we associate with such caricatures. (For the record, I … [Read more...]

Prospect’s Town Trails

April 30, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Prospect's Town Trails I'm sorry you've somehow found yourself on this page, for there are no Prospect-owned properties with trails as far as I know. If I'm wrong, please contact me or comment below. But here's a thing - Prospect is called Prospect because of the views the town provides as it contains the … [Read more...]
