Workin' It North Haven (Google Maps location) April 2019 This place closed in 2020. Not every museum in Connecticut presents itself upfront as a museum. And we all know that I lump a lot of places under the museum umbrella that totally aren't what one typically refers to as a museum. But the Energize … [Read more...]
CTMQ’s Guide to North Haven
Everything North Haven 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” North Haven CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. … [Read more...]
Tidal Marsh Trail (Closed)
Target This Hike Tidal Marsh Trail, North Haven April 2019 Trail was closed due to "alarming levels of PCB contamination found on the land" in April 2024. I must admit that I didn't plan to target this hike behind Target. Calvin and I spent the bulk of the day in New Haven, but then ventured out here - to North … [Read more...]
BruRm @ BAR
Grazing the BAR BruRm @ BAR, New Haven April 2019 If you weren't reading a page about the horribly named BruRm @ BAR right now and I asked you, "hey, what's the longest running brewery under the same ownership in the same space in 2019 Connecticut?" what would you guess?

271. Connecticut Trolley Museum
A Desire Named Streetcar East Windsor (Google Maps location) June 14, 2014 The Connecticut Trolley Museum's current slogan is, "Where History Moves You." And I think that's pretty great.

"By George!" Modern Library # 79 1908, E.M. Forster If you're reading this page you've probably seen the acclaimed movie version of this book.

Book Review: Picture Book of Old Connecticut
Old Timey Sam Tuttle's Picture Book of Old Connecticut By Sam Tuttle... I think. I've no clue how I came to own this book, but it's been sitting in a pile of "Connecticut books" at my house for years. I'm on a recent kick to plow through that pile (and others) these days, so here we are. I don't really know … [Read more...]
North Haven’s Town Trails
North Haven's Town Trails Which Haven is the most forgotten Haven? Obviously not New Haven. When it comes to the three directional Havens, I'm going to suggest that North Haven is the least known. I don't really know why I suggest that other than the fact that East and West simply have more... stuff. And … [Read more...]
272. Connecticut Fire Museum
Stop, Drop, and Roll Into This Museum Connecticut Fire Museum, East Windsor (Google Maps location) June 14, 2014 There are a lot of fire museums in Connecticut. Way more than you think - ten.
