Everything Meriden I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state. I plan on “completing” Meriden CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. If … [Read more...]
Meriden’s Town Trails

Griswold’s Town Trails
Griswold's Town Trails When I think about Griswold I think about the Griswold's. As in the Griswold family of the Vacation movies fame.

The Haunting in Connecticut (2009)
