Mory’s

July 17, 2020 by Steve 1 Comment

A Rare Bit of CTMQ Mory's, New Haven October 2013 Greetings! You have found your way to another of the very few, very rare CTMQ pages where I write about something I didn't really experience. As you see from the pictures, I was definitely in Mory's at Yale, but I must come clean: I didn't eat or drink anything … [Read more...]

USACE Trails Intro

July 15, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

US Army Corps of Engineers Trails Colebrook, Mansfield, Middlebury, Naugatuck, Plymouth, Thomaston, Thompson, Waterbury, Watertown It's amazing. 14 years into this massive CTMQ project I've decided to throw this page together.

CTMQ’s Guide to Brookfield

July 15, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Everything Brookfield 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” Brookfield CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. … [Read more...]

Brookfield’s Town Trails

July 15, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Brookfield's Town Trails Ah, Brookfield. Fairfield County's finest town. Checks notes What? It's not the ultimate Gold Coast hedgefund enclave? It's a rather sleepy little town squished between Lake Candlewood and the Housatonic River? With a bunch of trailed properties, several of which criss-cross farmed hay … [Read more...]

M.K. Wilcox Park

July 15, 2020 by Steve 1 Comment

No Dumping M.K. Wilcox Park, Bloomfield June 2020 I imagine hundreds, if not thousands, of people hike through MK Wilcox Park in Bloomfield every year and don't even know it. There they are, hiking north through Penwood State Park, taking in the panoramic views west and checking off abandoned chimneys along the … [Read more...]

Winchester’s Town Trails

July 14, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Winchester's Town Trails Winchester is Winsted. I know, I know... no one calls this place Winchester. But I have a thing with data governance and standardized nomenclature and therefore it's Winchester. I also have a thing with categorizing the various trails around the state. Which means we end up with … [Read more...]

Maple Lane/Foggy Harbor Spirits (Closed)

July 14, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Currantly Closed Maple Lane Spirits, Preston This is one of those pages that I write while never being 100% convinced I'm guessing its veracity correctly. I am very certain that Maple Lane Spirits ceased operations in 2018 or 2019. I can't find any sort of announcement to that effect, and therefore I'm not … [Read more...]
