Should be R. Buttmiller Drive R. Suttmiller Drive, Canton I don't know how many other "water pollution control" facilities have named roads for the very short, very specific stretch of asphalt that allows vehicles to access what I like to call "the doody tanks." Is Canton's R. Suttmiller Drive unique? Probably. … [Read more...]
The Village at East Farms Covered Bridge
The Village People The Village at East Farms Covered Bridge, Waterbury Every time I dash off another page about another covered bridge that no one would consider worthy of creating a new CTMQ page for, I question myself. Intensely. There's no historical value to this bridge. It was built in 2000. It does cross a … [Read more...]
Harrington’s Kissing Bridge
Turning Red (Potato Pizza) Harrington's Kissing Bridge, Willington If you're reading this wondering why you're reading this, I'll tell you why you're reading this: because here at CTMQ we are thorough. When we say we're going to seek out and write about every covered bridge in Connecticut, we mean every covered … [Read more...]
Route 9 in Middletown
Bumper to Bumper... Because There's a Red Light! Route 9 Through Middletown Since writing this, I've come to lean of a 2011 Hartford Courant article all about the stop sign merge. I'm happy to have learned that the stop sign IS actually worse than the lights. More at the bottom. I'm going to do my best to focus … [Read more...]
Windsor Locks Canal Trail State Park (North)
Route Canal Windsor Locks Canal Trail State Park, Suffield November 2017 This path follows the route of the canal and... route canal?! C'mon, give me some love for the title above. Although a walk or ride along the full length of this state park trail isn't quite as painful as the dental procedure, it's had its … [Read more...]
Pitkin Street Tunnel
New Haven Underground Pitkin Street Tunnel, New Haven January 2021 You may not think of Connecticut as state with tunnels that matter, but it kind of is. The tunnel through West Rock, called Heroes Tunnel, is the only highway/road tunnel through a land feature in New England. Surprising, right? Connecticut is also … [Read more...]
Town Bridge
This Old Town (Bridge) Town Bridge, Canton The reconstructed bridge is open again as of late 2021. I'm not sure why I'm giving this old bridge a place on CTMQ. When I took the photos on this page I remember that I thought it was a cool bridge. Very old school. One lane and still operational. I think that at the … [Read more...]
Fort Griswold Battlefield State Park Intro
Fort Griswold Battlefield State Park Groton Most state parks in Connecticut offer at least a little bit of hiking. Those that don't, like this one, usually offer a ton of history. Fort Griswold was the site of the Battle of Groton Heights during the Revolutionary War. It was a brutal battle, even if it only … [Read more...]
Stratton Brook Covered Bridge
Strappin' Stratton Brook State Park, Simsbury There are more than a few pages featuring random covered bridges on this site. I know there's just nothing really to say about most of them, but I keep doing it. Everytime I think that keeping up with this particular list for the site is dumb, I quickly jot off a page … [Read more...]
The Old Drake Hill Flower Bridge
Drizzy Drake The Old Drake Hill Flower Bridge Simsbury I live pretty close to The Old Drake Hill Flower Bridge, so I've been passing by it for two decades. It's just part of my life. However, I'd never bothered to stop and take pictures of it, let alone creating a page on CTMQ dedicated to it. Then a few … [Read more...]
