Jacked Up Jacknife, 1989 When I began putting together my list of Connecticut movies, I hadn't heard of the large majority of them. This didn't strike me as surprising, as I've never been a big movie watcher. And as far as knowing off the top of my head which movies were, like, Connecticut movies... well, I'm not … [Read more...]
Carriage House Brewing (Closed)
What is Wrong With Me? Carriage House Brewing, Canton Carriage House failed to renew their license in 2021 and are officially kaput. This is the dumbest page on this whole website.

CTMQ’s Guide to Canton
Everything Canton I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state.

Rye Street Park
Hiker in the Rye Rye Street Park, South Windsor October 2020 The trail network at Rye Street Park is ridiculous. They are not real trails planned by a serious trail planner.

Fairfield’s Town Trails
Fairfield's Town Trails There's no Fairfield Inn in Fairfield. There is an Inn at Fairfield Beach which is not a Fairfield Inn. While I'm in Fairfield, I like to say that I'm "Fairfield'n."
