Simply Dumb A Simple Favor, 2018 Here we are... another movie set in Fairfield County and another impossibly gorgeous modern house. While the movie wasn't filmed in Connecticut, we can play that game again of "guess where this movie would take place if they named a place?" This one would be New Canaan. We can … [Read more...]
CTMQ’s Guide to Willington
Everything Willington 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” Willington CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. … [Read more...]
Willington’s Town Trails
Willington's Town Trails The Nipmuck Trail nips Willington's southeast corner and Joshua's Trust has a parcel with a trail in town. Only 6,000 people live here and aside from a section of I-84, it's a very quiet, forested town. So of course there are endless opportunities for woodland hiking. Right? Oddly, … [Read more...]

Milford Land Conservation Trust
Milford Land Conservation Trust Milford Another tough one. The Milford Land Conservation Trust has done a great job securing parcels of land all over town. And when it comes to Milford, a lot of that land is marshland. Unhikeable and mostly unkayakable. So cross them off the list. Then most of their other … [Read more...]
Milford’s Town Trails
Milford's Town Trails Shout out to Milford. The Milf. The town has produced a "Favorite Walks in Milford" that is incredibly thorough and comprehensive. There is much, much more listed than what I have below. Mostly because they include several loops exclusively on roads and sidewalks, but also because they have a … [Read more...]
