Everything Danbury 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” Danbury CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. If … [Read more...]
Danbury’s Town Trails
Danbury’s Town Trails Danbury is one of Connecticut’s few true cities. We have a bunch of towns that are officially cities, but when listing city cities, my list is pretty short. Danbury makes the cut. So it’s cool that there are a bunch of trails in Danbury; owned and maintained, ostensibly, by the city. … [Read more...]

Pakistan: Rasham
Pak it up, Pak it in, Let Me Begin Rasham, South Windsor June 2017 For the record, I waffled between the House of Pain lyric in my subtitle versus "Rasham-a-lamma ding-dong."

In fact, I’ve been running one for my friend Nick Gamma’s Hops & Branding company – which happened to tie-in nicely with the CT Hops for Hope brewfest I help organize. (We raised $36,000 for the Smith-Magenis Syndrome Research … [Read more...]

Putnam DMV
Weird DMV Office Putnam You may question the inclusion of Putnam’s Department of Motor Vehicles satellite office on the esteemed pages of CTMQ. But c’mon. How could I not memorialize this anti-edifice here? I’m fascinated by it. You see, it’s a trailer. An important state of Connecticut office … [Read more...]
TSTL’17.11: Chatfield Hollow State Park
The Sky's the Limit 2017 Hiking Challenge #11 Chatfield Hollow State Park, Killingworth July 22, 2017 This Challenge point represented an all-new state park for me!

Stafford: Complete!
Stafford: Complete! Basil's Here is the CTMQ Guide to Stafford with my list and stories about everything I've done there! After a decade of writing CTMQ, I decided to try to “complete” towns.
