Bethlehem’s Town Trails

May 13, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

Bethlehem's Town Trails O' Little Town of Bethlehem... with o'little number of trailed properties to hike. For years this page existed with no trails listed, but I've since become aware of a couple little farm trails to explore. There may be more, I don't know. Then again, Bethlehem is pretty small and the … [Read more...]

CTMQ’s Guide to Ledyard

May 13, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

Everything Ledyard I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state.

Groton Open Space Association Trails

May 13, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

Groton Open Space Association Trails Groton & Ledyard GOSA seems to operate in that netherworld between land trusts and town trails. There are many of these organizations in the state and they can get confusing. I can't pretend that I have it all figured out, but I try. All I really care about is that they maintain … [Read more...]

Ledyard's Town Trails Ledyard. For centuries, just another forgotten rural town in eastern Connecticut. Ledyard, home of the Mashuntucket Pequot tribe. Transformed forever in the mid-80's when the Foxwoods bingo hall opened. Followed by the Foxwoods slots casino. Followed by the what was, in the early 2000's, the … [Read more...]

Book Review: Connecticut Beer

May 10, 2019 by Steve 1 Comment

From Nutmeg Beer to Beer with Nutmeg Connecticut Beer; A History of Nutmeg State Brewing By Will Siss Reading this book in 2019 is a surreal experience. At least for close watchers of the Connecticut brewery and beer scene. Published in 2015, Waterbury-American columnist and school teacher Will Siss simply could … [Read more...]

Energize CT Center (Closed)

May 8, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

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...]

Tidal Marsh Trail (Closed)

May 7, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

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

May 6, 2019 by Steve 1 Comment

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? Don't even front and tell me you'd say … [Read more...]
