Full Gas Stafford (Google Maps location) October 2017 I do not know if Donald Passardi still opens his private museum to visitors. Information on this place is very hard to come by these days - not that it was ever easy. Heck, I've never been sure what the name of this place is. I've seen it as Gasoline Alley … [Read more...]
Lakes Leakalot and Leakalot More
Lakes Leakalot and Leakalot More Eastford If you happen to be reading this and haven't read much else on this website, I promise you that this page isn't indicative of the typical high quality content on CTMQ.

Auntie Mame (1958)
Auntie Awesome Auntie Mame, 1958 I love this movie. My wife loves this movie. If you don't at least like this movie, you are dead inside. And while it's only peripherally a "Connecticut movie," it's "Connecticutness" is enough to warrant a page on this website. It's a long movie with many twists and turns. … [Read more...]
The Barker Character Comic and Cartoon Museum & Art Gallery

Oliver Wolcott Library
This Library is a Hoot Oliver Wolcott Library Litchfield I'll admit, I'm not your typical "center of Litchfield" photographer. Sure, the main block of businesses is pure New England. Everyone is drawn to the First Congregational Church and its picture book white steeple. The row of historic homes on South Street … [Read more...]
Avalonia: Barrett Preserve
Grin and Barrett Barrett Preserve, Ledyard January 2016 It's always moderately interesting to hike through managed forests. Especially if they are being actively managed like Avalonia Land Conservancy's Barrett Preserve was when Damian and I checked it out. Several acres here burned in 1989 after which … [Read more...]
