Where is "Jewish?" Bishop's Corner, West Hartford October 2015 This is my first "food/restaurant" post in the "CT Restaurant Tour of the World" section in which I flew solo. I still don't really know what to do with this section and I darn well know that I'm not qualified to write about food. At … [Read more...]
Glacier Ridge Trail
The GRT at NVCC is for You and Me Glacier Ridge Trail, NVCC October 18, 2015 I don’t know why I hiked this trail or why I’m writing about it. It’s not a trail anyone is going to go out of their way for, that’s for sure. But then again, since it is in Waterbury, within sight of the constant stop-and-go traffic of … [Read more...]
Waterbury’s Town Trails
Waterbury's Town Trails I know what you’re thinking... Waterbury? Hiking? Yup. It exists. Not only does it exist, but the CFPA’s Hancock Brook Trail is rather wild and scenic. My 2009 hike of it is proof. Annnnnd that's about it, short of a little community college trail and some tiny town parks that … [Read more...]
Relic Brewing Company
Since 2012?! A True Connecticut Relic Relic Brewing, Plainville Updated December 2017 Ah, Relic. So much to say about Relic and its eccentric owner/brewer Mark Sigman. While there are 10,000-words worth of stuff to say about Relic, I will do my best to limit myself. There are many things with which to … [Read more...]
297. The Genius Museum
Gateway... to The Next Gateway Montville (Google Maps location) July 10, 2015 In 2018-19, the Gateway Museum expanded a bit and they changed the name. It is now the Genius Museum and if I want to be thorough, I suppose I should revisit at some point to view the expansion. I'll start off as I often have to do; … [Read more...]
Glover Property
Fits Like a Glove. Seriously. It's That Small. Simsbury Land Trust's Glover Property, Simsbury October 2015 This trailed property is so small, that I really don't have to write all that much. Heck, I could just plop the Simsbury Land Trust's nice description here and be done with it. The Glover property is … [Read more...]
303. GEHMS Planetarium
Spacing Out Glastonbury (Google Maps location) October 10, 2015 This cool little planetarium ignited a heated debate in my house. I mentioned that I would be including it as a museum visit for this website, and my wife roundly chastised me for that. “It’s a planetarium. It’s not a museum.” “I know. But … [Read more...]
Pizza at Sally’s Apizza
The Best Pizza on Earth Sally’s Apizza, New Haven June 2015 Disclaimer: I love Sally’s. I love them more than I love Pepe’s and Modern and every other pretender to the exalted throne that lords over the Connecticut pizza kingdom. Unapologetically. (And you thought that disclaimer was going to be one … [Read more...]
Concept of Freedom Trail: Groton
Fort Griswold Battlefield State Park Groton Y’know, Connecticut is pretty cool. If you’re into the various wars that the US has been engaged in, even back to before the US even was a country, our state has a lot of stuff for you to check out. From the Pequot War nastiness to Revolutionary War sites and stuff, … [Read more...]
Concept of Freedom Trail: Trumbull
Nero Hawley Grave Riverside Cemetery, Daniel’s Farm Road Not that anyone will ever read this page, but I still feel the need to point out that of all the museums and trails and breweries and “stuff,” on this website, there are very few – if any – that I’ve planned to visit, yet haven’t – than this … [Read more...]
