This Place is So... So... SoCCAC! Southington, (Google Maps location) March 24, 2018 Every town in Connecticut with a population over 40,000 should have a place like the Southington Community Cultural Arts Center.

Bethany Airport Airmail Arrow
Slings and Arrows Bethany Airport Airmail Arrow, Bethany I remember learning about the existence of the Bethany Arrow several years ago and thinking, "Hm. That's cool." So imagine my joy years later while killing time before my son's nearby soccer game telling him, "there's a giant old arrow on the ground … [Read more...]
Linda J. Rapoport Memorial Preserve
For Linda Wyndham Land Trust's Linda J. Rapoport Memorial Preserve, Woodstock October 2022 The story of this property and hike has nothing in the world to do with the trail and hike.

Washington’s Town Trails
Washington's Town Trails Washington is a beautiful town in the Litchfield foothills. There are beautiful hikes in Washington; among the best in the state. So I, like you, find it a little odd that the town itself doesn't really have any trails that I'm aware of. Did the state and Steep Rock get all the good stuff? … [Read more...]

Sometimes I almost make it into … [Read more...]
Gallows Lane
Wow Gallows Lane, Litchfield Long time CTMQ readers know that there are a lot of oddly named roads in our little state. I seek them out, take a picture, and then write up a mildly humorous account with a typically fictional name origin story. But once in a while, an oddly named road is oddly named for a real … [Read more...]
The Conjuring (2013)
You've been Warrened The Conjuring, 2013 I have somehow almost completely avoided crossing paths with Lorraine and Ed Warren. They have both passed away but their legacy will certainly outlive me - not only in Connecticut, but across the nation. The famous Warrens. In fact, I've heard some radio ads … [Read more...]
