"She's dead. Wrapped in plastic." UConn Storrs (Google Maps Location) February 25, 2009 A few of the Babbidge Library pictures are from Jerry Dougherty's incredible compendium of photos of EVERYTHING in Connecticut. Stop hurting your brain; my title makes no sense whatsoever. Well, it does to me but not to … [Read more...]
Stratton Brook State Park Nature Center
At least I saw a Water Scorpion Stratton Brook State Park Nature Center, Simsbury (Google Maps location) July 2009 Connecticut museum visit #122. I'm sure it very rarely open these days. At one point I think I had a plan to visit all the state parks in Connecticut and blog about them too. Who knows, maybe I … [Read more...]

Ice Cream at Ridgefield IC Shop
No Cookie Pusses Here Ridgefield Ice Cream Shop, Ridgefield July 2009 As has become my tactic, I made sure to figure out a route back from a week visiting my family in Delaware that would take in a few CTMQ sites. After hitting a museum on the way down, I figured we'd make it a little more fun - and delicious - on … [Read more...]
*Fries at Super Duper Weenie
Super Stupor (Pt 2) Super Duper Weenie Fairfield If you read a bunch of these Roadfood's Best posts in succession, you may get the impression that I'm a bit snooty about my food and/or I think the Sterns of Roadfood are a little crazy. The truth lies somewhere in between... I like french fries, but I'm not a … [Read more...]
Tour Stop 12: One Last Meat Up for Soccer
Game 19 Brazil Grille, Hartford July 8, 2006 Our last stop on the World Cup Tour 2006 was, for me, the most anticipated. I had previewed the Brazil Grill restaurant the week prior by popping my head in during the group play Japan game. Even though it was a Thursday afternoon and the game meant absolutely nothing … [Read more...]
Tour Stop 11: God Save the Beckham
Game 18 The Half Door, Hartford June 27, 2006 As with most Americans, I'm a bit of a mutt; A Germano-Scotch-English one. I suppose I'm mostly English, but I look a bit more Scottish I'm told. At any rate, I find a part of me cheering on the Brits at this point in the World Cup. We pasty white guys need to stick … [Read more...]
Tour Stop 10: USA is a “Ghana”
Game 17 Vaughn's Pub, Hartford June 22, 2006 What a day I had in store on Thursday, 6/22! I had taken the day off the day the World Cup schedule was released, knowing the Ghana game would be huge. Oh, and also perhaps because I had gum surgery scheduled for 8 AM. Can't forget about the gum surgery. I awoke and … [Read more...]
Tour Stop 9: Ed Has a Heart After All
Game 16 Goal International Sports Bar, Hartford June 22, 2006 At this point, I'm only writing this blog entry for the sake of consistency. Because our first attempt at a "Brazilian day" was a bit of a failure. Albeit a fun and delicious failure. We opted to watch the game versus Australia on Sunday at Goal … [Read more...]
