Miles of Smiles Mile of Ledges, Burlington September 29, 2018 It is quite rare for me to revisit something for this site. With so much still to do, it simply doesn’t make logistical sense to spend an afternoon retracing steps or re-experiencing a museum. But sometimes it’s the right and best thing to do. Such was … [Read more...]
Sherman’s Town Trails Intro
Sherman’s Town Trails The Sherm. The Sherminator. Sherm-Town. Less than 4,000 people live in Sherman, so I don't think any of these nicknames have even taken/will ever take off. Although some heavy hitters live in town like Darryl Hall and Jeffrey Toobin and Diane von Furstenburg and Bob Iger. And if anyone can … [Read more...]
CTMQ’s Guide to Seymour
Everything Seymour 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” Seymour 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...]
Seymour’s Town Trails
Seymour’s Town Trails Suddenly Seymour... has its own town trails intro page! Seymour presented the challenge many towns do when I compile these "town trails" pages. That is, they make it very difficult to sort out which parcels are town owned vs. land trust owned vs. state owned, and in the case of … [Read more...]
Seymour Land Conservation Trust Intro
Seymour Land Conservation Trust Seymour I've become fairly adept at writing these trails orgs' intro pages. I can usually rip through putting one together in under ten minutes. Not so with Seymour's Land Conservation Trust. Their website in its current (September 2018) state is terri-- update, it's … [Read more...]
Labyrinth Brewing Company (Closed)
Can't Pan This Place Labyrinth Brewing Company, Manchester September 2018 Labyrinth closed in July 2024. I know that the people who read the brewery/beer stuff don't often give a hoot about the other stuff CTMQ is all about. You know, like... literally everything else. Anyway, after ten years of writing CTMQ, I … [Read more...]
Bear Hill WMA
I Can Bearly Stand It Bear Hill Wildlife Management Area, Bozrah September 2018 This page will be (rightfully) lost to history, but for the sake of it... I "completed" Bozrah at Bear Hill WMA. Yes, my favorite town to pick on, Bozrah. The town I've come to love over the last twelve years of writing CTMQ. Good ol' … [Read more...]
Tolland Military Museum
War! Huh! What is it Good For? (Museums) Tolland Google Maps location July 15, 2018 Admission time: When it became apparent to me in late spring/early summer of 2018 that I could make it to 400 Connecticut museums, I made sure I made it to 400 museums. One trick to getting there is to go to places like Tolland … [Read more...]
Belden Forest
Run/Forest/Run Belden Forest, Simsbury May 2015 The Belden Forest tract on its own really isn't all that interesting. That's not to say it's not nice; for it is. Simsbury, which has tons a cool hiking areas, doesn't do much to promote them. (This is why, I suppose, the Simsbury Land Trust has picked up the … [Read more...]
Parable Brewing Company (Closed)
Every Brewery Has a Story Parable Brewing Company, Manchester July 2018 Parable closed in April 2019 after a weird, confusing, and protracted situation with the landlord of their building. Parable's owner or owners, who never changed the LLC's name from Top Shelf - because he was a part-owner of Top Shelf - … [Read more...]
