Yee-Haw Connecticut Farms and Farmers Markets Eric D. Lehman and Amy Nawrocki (2022) I didn't plan on actually reading this book. I don't think the prolific Connecticut authors plan for anyone to read read Connecticut Farms and Farmers Markets. That's not the point of it at all. I, however, actually read the … [Read more...]
Cedar Mountain and Balf Nature Preserve
Okay Balf Cedar Mountain and Balf Nature Preserve, Newington January 2023 If you happen to be a Newington resident and have read some of the other pages I've written about Newington trails, you're probably gritting your teeth preparing for another smarmy screed from me. I can hear you from here... "here we go, … [Read more...]
Sterling Opera House (Abandoned)
No Ficken Joke Sterling Opera House, Derby I suppose I could have tried to get a personal tour of this place. After all, NBC30 did. So did Atlas Obscura as well as Damned Connecticut. In a way, I consider all three of those outlets peers. I'll also consider them primary source material for this page. Because, as … [Read more...]
Buttermilk Falls (Plymouth)
Feel the Churn Buttermilk Falls, Plymouth December 2022 Every state has its own Buttermilk Falls. Most states have multiple. Connecticut even has two. That's right, our little state with a general paucity of decent waterfalls couldn't come up with different names for Plymouth's Buttermilk Falls and the much … [Read more...]
Bethany Museum of Impressionism
First Impressions... Bethany (Private home) December 2022 I don't often explain my page titles. Most of the time they are just so good and brilliant that they speak for themselves. Other times, they are just so great and beyond brilliant that only an elite few will appreciate them. (Those are the readers that know … [Read more...]

Indian Hill Trail
A Proper Troll Indian Hill Trail, Newington January 2023 Oh Newington, you vexing mistress, you. First, you go and elect a guy with my name as mayor (He didn't run in 2016, but whatever). Then you claim to have the "world's smallest waterfall" which is just the dumbest thing - that screams out for me to … [Read more...]
The Norwalk Art Space
Art Space Needs to Continue Apace Norwalk (Google Maps location) December 2022 One of my favorite pastimes is reading internet comments from lower Fairfield County residents about how degenerate and awful Norwalk is. This "destitute" city has suffer the ignominy of being surrounded by New Canaan ($1.7M median … [Read more...]
Evergreen Walk Trail
It's a Walk... Walk Evergreen Walk, South Windsor January 2023 Walk enough urban trails around Connecticut and you'll get cynical about these things too. On the one hand, it's great that this and other similar trails exist at all, but on the other hand, I can't help but thinking the only reason they exist is … [Read more...]
