Civil Engineering I don’t think I need to write an explanatory intro for this page. It is exactly what it says it is. And it's awesome. Jump down to: Observation Towers and Views Bridges, Covered and Otherwise Forts, Canals, Dams, Levees, & Fishways Highways, Roads & Tunnels Airports & Ferries … [Read more...]
Hobart Welton Carriage Shed
Fictus Dolium Nullus Hobart Victory Welton Carriage Shed, Waterbury If you're the type of person that cares about the brilliant hierarchical structuring of CTMQ, you'll notice that this page falls into the "Roads and Tunnels" section of the "Towers, Bridges, Forts, Tunnels, Roads, Canals, Dams, Fishways, Airports, … [Read more...]
StanChem Fishway
Fishway Stan StanChem Fishway, Berlin Why did I ever begin documenting fishways and fish ladders and lifts? I honestly don't remember. In my defense, a couple of them here and there act as sort of outdoor museums and have displays and open houses and stuff. But that doesn't explain why I went beyond them to … [Read more...]
Bread and Milk Road & Street
Winter Storm Prep Central Bread and Milk Road & Street, Coventry & Vernon We all love dumb street names. As I've slowly introduced my son to the wonderful world of CTMQ - despite his being an unwitting part of it his entire life - he really seems to enjoy the dumb street names I highlight on occasion. When we … [Read more...]
North Meadow Road
It Starts and Ends with Guns North Meadow Road, Windsor I'll admit it; I'm a bit confused about this page. This short half-paved road in Windsor is supposed to be important. I was led to believe it is important - so much so that I traveled the full length of it to take pictures to complement a robust page about the … [Read more...]

Sometimes my hiking partner is a drag, sometimes the weather is a bummer, and sometimes the hike itself isn't impressive. … [Read more...]

Pump(kin) Up The Jam! Pumpkin Delight Road & School, Milford Please be assured that I've scoured the internet for a whole two minutes trying to find out why this road is called Pumpkin Delight Road. I must assume the road was named before the school and that the school was named because of the road it's near. … [Read more...]
CT Roadside Sign Gallery
Signs, Signs, Everywhere is signs Connecticut Roadside Sign Gallery I'm not sure how far I'll take this page, especially seeing as I didn't begin it until late 2021. That's 15 years of passing by dopey signs and not thinking to capture them for posterity. Note: I certainly have been capturing all the ET Progressive … [Read more...]
Sub Way
Underwater Franchisees? Sub Way and Subway, Milford For whatever reason, people are often surprised that Subway is a Connecticut Company. Why? Every company has to start somewhere. Maybe because in Connecticut sub sandwiches on sub rolls are called grinders on grinder rolls. (And where I grew up, they're hoagies on … [Read more...]
Ratlum Mountain Fire Tower (Private)
Awww, Rats(lums)! Ratlum Mountain Fire Tower (Private), Canton August 2021 Like everyone, I'm sure, I've wistfully stared up at the Ratlum Mountain tower from the red light on Route 44 in the center of New Hartford for decades. So tall! So visible! So exciting! So... private. Always one to respect privacy … [Read more...]
