Holy Land USA
Jesus Christ, That Must've Hurt! Holy Land USA, Waterbury November 19, 2004 Note: This is a poorly edited piece from my old blog - where the trip to Holy Land USA was merely a tiny part of a larger week-long roadtrip where we picked off PA, MD, WV, and DC highpoints, so it's written sort of … [Read more...]
Center Church Crypt
Tales From the Crypt Center Church Crypt, New Haven July 21, 2007 2020 Update: Yet another page I'm looking at for the first time in over a decade and saying to myself, "I should revisit this place." Sigh. This place is wicked cool. So wicked cool that I've used the pure New Englandism: "wicked" - because … [Read more...]

KFC: We Do Insurance Right! New Haven (Google Maps Location) July 21, 2007 The museum changed its name to The Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center in 2022.

Pardee Like It's 1699 New Haven Location July 21, 2007 Summer 2010 Update: The house has re-opened! This is the very rare Zombie Museum here on CTMQ; one that rose from the dead.

Everything Else
Miscellanea, Curiosities and... Everything Else Welcome to the most difficult section of CTMQ to curate. It has been incorrectly titled Ephemera. It has been called Miscellanea. Then it was Curiosities. Now it's "Everything Else." The most frustrating part of this whole massive section, to me, is that there's too … [Read more...]

I Haddam at Hello East Haddam (Google Maps Location) June 9, 2007 A couple years after this visit, the museum added a fairly large new wing. Perhaps I'll revisit someday when I have all my faculties.
