Pining For the Past Avon (Google Maps location) June 2019 Connecticut museum visit #436. Someone asked me the other day a question I love ("OMG! You read and care about CTMQ?!") and hate ("OMG! If I answer you honestly, you'll think I'm nuts!"). Part of the question was related to the whole "town completion" … [Read more...]
Book Review: Classic Diners of Connecticut
Diners, Dives, and Drive-By's Classic Diners of Connecticut Garrison Leykam, 2013 Let's face it, diner culture is dying. Some have probably engraved the headstone already. It is for that reason that I decided to list and visit Connecticut's "classic" diners several years ago. My list has grown and shrunk over the … [Read more...]
Two Roads Brewing Company
Robert Frosty Mug Two Roads Brewing Co., Stratford May 2019 When I visit and write about Connecticut’s museums, I have a bad habit of procrastinating and avoiding dealing with the behemoths. Too many pictures, too much to discuss, too much history… I find them daunting to write about to say the least. I never feel … [Read more...]
361. Woodcock Nature Center
Not the Woodcock You Thought Wilton/Ridgefield (Google Maps location) June 27, 2017 I just spent too much time comparing maps to determine if the actual Woodcock Nature Center building sits in Wilton or Ridgefield. It is in Wilton for those of you playing along, but the Center’s property and trails do extend up … [Read more...]
CTMQ’s Guide to Easton
Everything Easton 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” Easton CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. If I’ve … [Read more...]
Easton’s Town Trails
Easton’s Town Trails What up, Easton? Can you hear me? Probably not, since the town seems to be infamous for poor cell service. What's weird about that is that despite the fact you can't find Easton on a map, it's bordered by the well-known and heavily populated Fairfield, Trumbull, and is mere feet from touching … [Read more...]
CTMQ’s Guide to Weston
Everything Weston 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” Weston CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. If I’ve … [Read more...]
Weston’s Town Trails
Weston’s Town Trails Weston is a weird town. I have this hypothetical competition in my head regarding which Connecticut town is the strangest. Of course, there’s no set criteria to determine “weird,” so I can’t definitively say that one town is weirder than the rest. But Weston is certainly in the … [Read more...]
Manship Park & Kinne Preserve
Canterbury Trails Robert Manship Park & Kinne Preserve Canterbury, June 2019 I had to find trails to hike in Canterbury. I just had to. Why? So that I could write the title "Canterbury Trails". I would have cleared, blazed, and walked my own darn trail if I had to. Which was almost the case, but … [Read more...]
Pool Table Magic Museum
They've Got Some Kind of Balls Windsor Locks (Google Maps location) May 2019 We'll get to why this page exists in a minute. Don't get too excited, as you'll still think it shouldn't. Probably. But it does, and here we are. Together. Reading about a pool hall next to run-down motel within sight of Bradley Airport … [Read more...]
