Everything Somers 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” Somers 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...]
Somers’ Town Trails
Somers' Town Trails Shout out to the Somers town government for putting a good amount of hiking info on their town's website. Much of it is Northern Connecticut Land Trust info and maps, but that's still a good thing. The difficulty comes when trying to parse which properties are Somers', which are the NCLT's, and … [Read more...]
369. Broad Brook Barbershop & Courthouse Museums
Don't Judge My Haircut East Windsor (Google Maps location) August 12, 2017 These two tiny standalone museums are part of the larger East Windsor Historical Society Museum complex.

Taughannick Falls
TaughanSICK! Taughannick Falls at Mohegan Sun Montville For some reason Connecticut casinos need fake waterfalls. Having been thoroughly disappointed by the fake falls at Foxwoods, I wasn't expecting much better up at Mohegan Sun. I was, however, expecting better simply because Mohegan is just straight up nicer … [Read more...]
Foxwoods’ Fake Falls
Wuyeepuyoq Foxwoods' Fake Waterfalls Ledyard Wuyeepuyoq. Wuyeepuyoq to this page on a bunch of fake Foxwoods Waterfalls. Yes, Welcome. I've written before that I'm not a gambler or a casino-goer, but I made the trip to Foxwoods for a few CTMQ reasons: It's the largest casino in North America and has more slot … [Read more...]
Brushmill Waterfall & Covered Bridge
Brushmill Waterfall by The Brushmill by the Waterfall Brushmill Waterfall, Chester I can't be the only person that finds the fact that the restaurant here - The Brushmill by the Waterfall - is weird for naming themselves after what is clearly not a real waterfall. And since it's not a real waterfall, I want it to … [Read more...]
The Hooker Test Kitchen (Closed)
Dead Hooker in the (Tree) Trunk The Hooker Test Kitchen/The Brew Pub at Mohegan Sun, Montville Never Visited Since no one will ever read this page - and rightly so - I'm going to link something uncouth. A scene from "Dirty Work," a comedy with the incomparable Norm MacDonald. (And Chris Farley and Artie Lange as … [Read more...]
Stony Creek Brewery at Foxwoods (Closed)
Fake Stone by a Fake Creek Stony Creek Brewery at Foxwoods, Ledyard May 2019 This brewery location closed in March 2021. I am not a gambler. I don't even know how to play poker and while blackjack can be fun, it's simply not fun losing money. I've never put a dime into a slot machine. Ever. Foxwoods is … [Read more...]
Franklin Swamp WMA
Frankly Not Worth It Franklin Swamp WMA, Franklin May 2019 When I put together my CTMQ Town Guides for each of our 169 towns, I do my best to capture everything germane to what it is I do. When it comes to hiking, I tend to be way too thorough. There's a sort of hierarchy to these things, and state-owned wildlife … [Read more...]
Giddings Park
Positively Giddi Giddings Park, Franklin May 2019 You've likely never heard of Franklin's Giddings Park, and you'll likely never go there, so I'll start off with my friend Matt Woodward's description of it over on his excellent Explore Connecticut site: Giddings Park is everything you would want a town park to … [Read more...]
