Just Go With Me Here Long Meadow Falls, Oxford April 2016 Yeah, I know. This page is ridiculous. These falls don't appear in any guidebook and I may be the first person in history to hop out of his or her car to take not one, but two bad pictures of the unnamed falls on the unnamed stream. The stream comes … [Read more...]

Book Review: Fairfield County Chef’s Table
Gold Coast Star Fairfield County Chef's Table, Amy Kundrat (Photos by Stephanie Webster (2014) I suppose it's only proper to note that the author of this book is a friend of mine, but I did purchase it on my own at full price for what that's worth. So, there's probably no way I'm going to say that this book is … [Read more...]
RiverQuest Eagle Cruise
Bald Eagles are Essexy RiverQuest Eagle Cruise, Essex February 2020 In February 2022, RiverQuest was purchased by the Connecticut River Museum. There shouldn't be any noticeable changes to the programs. Isn't it crazy that humans did our best to eradicate our country's national symbol? Wouldn't that just have … [Read more...]
Book Review: One of Windsor
Left Me Hanging a Bit One of Windsor, Beth M. Caruso (2015) I dunno... I'm just not a big fan of "historical fiction" I guess. I like good books on history, and I like good works of fiction well enough. But there's always something so awkward when the two genres meet and mingle. I'm sure there are countless … [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...]

Connecticut’s Other Boat Building Stonington (Google Maps location) January 2016 There are a lot of reasons to head to Stonington. Restaurants, seaside walks, breweries, wineries, shopping, all the Mystic stuff... interesting little museum-like library hybrids. That's right. Interesting little museum-like … [Read more...]

A Quiet Place Part II (2020)
Shhhh, Keep Our Islands Secret A Quiet Place Part II (2020) Let's do this. Keep quiet about it though, since I'm going to try to rip through this quickly and I don't want anyone hearing I'm getting lazy. Shhhhhhhh... I saw A Quiet Place on a plane somewhere over the Atlantic on one of my many trips to Europe … [Read more...]
The Mayflower Dining Room
This Place is Money The Mayflower Dining Room, Washington November 2021 Alright look, I didn't stay a night at the Mayflower Inn. And I'm never going to. I live 45 minutes away and there's no reason for me to spend major coin to stay at a hotel. Even if it's arguably the nicest hotel in the state. Rates are … [Read more...]
Litchfield Mid-Century Modern Tour
Something's Breuering Mid-Century Modern House Tour, Litchfield When asked, everyone familiar with Connecticut knows that Litchfield is home to large old historic homes and the center of town is filled with colonials. And they'd be mostly right. The Oliver Wolcott House and the Tapping Reeve House and Law School to … [Read more...]
