The Legend of Hobbomock: The Sleeping Giant by Jason J. Marchi (2011) Library As a Giant Master – no, really, I AM A GIANT MASTER – I felt compelled to learn about the legend of Hobbomock. In all my hikes across the Giant’s body, I never really knew how he came to rest in Hamden. Now I know, thanks to The … [Read more...]
Power Dams Trail
Fight the Power Power Dams Trail, Farmington March 2018 I hike a lot. I don’t necessarily mean miles upon miles, but rather, lots of different little trails. Many would suppose that they all run together and become repetitive after a while. Many would be wrong. It’s not just that each trail has something … [Read more...]
Art Tunnel
The Mural of the Story Art Tunnel Farmington River Trail, Farmington Can you believe that I’ve never used that pun for a title before? I can’t. Can you believe that I’m far more interested in the two trails in the woods on either side of this tunnel than the Farmington River Trail that this tunnel is for? I … [Read more...]
No Worries Brewing Company (Closed)
Only Been Once? No Worries. No Worries Brewing Company, Hamden February 2017 The brewery unceremoniously and quietly closed in October 2024. I’ve always enjoyed the accidental subliminal advertising No Worries of Hamden enjoys. As in, “I’d like to go to a brewery tomorrow, but I can’t decide which one.” “No … [Read more...]
CTMQ’s Guide to Hamden
Everything Hamden 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” Hamden 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...]
I AM A GIANT MASTER
Master What? I AM A GIANT MASTER Sleeping Giant State Park, Hamden I have done a lot of things for CTMQ. I am inarguably the first/only person to have done a lot of things I have done. I rarely think and don’t really care about hardly any of that stuff though. However, I very much do care about being the … [Read more...]

Hamden’s Town Trails
Hamden’s Town Trails I decided at some point that I would have a “town trails introduction” page for every town in Connecticut with trails traversing town-owned property. I have written many of these little intro pages, and this is a rare one with asterisks. Hamden is a vexing little town when it comes to … [Read more...]
344. Best Video Film & Cultural Center
When “Best” Also Means “Only” Hamden (Google Maps location) February 25, 2017 Too often, I feel the need to explain myself as to why I lump certain places into my liberal definition of what constitutes a museum. I fully realize that many places I categorize as such are not museums in anything but the broadest … [Read more...]
CTMQ’s Guide to Tolland
Everything Tolland 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” Tolland CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. If … [Read more...]
