Bangin' The Hartford Gun Club Oldest Gun Club in America, East Granby & Windsor There are very few pages out of the (literally!) thousands here on CTMQ where I don't actually do the thing I'm writing about. This is one of those rare pages and I'm not even a little bit sore about it. Okay, maybe I am a … [Read more...]

Kent Memorial Library
Suffield, Not Kent Kent Memorial Library Suffield There are a bunch of museums (and "museums") at libraries around the state. There are art galleries within lots of libraries. There's the oldest public library in the United States in Salisbury. And there are still several Carnegie Libraries worth noting. … [Read more...]
Six Flags New England
You Can See Connecticut From Here Six Flags New England August 2019 I know, I know... Six Flags is in Agawam and Agawam is in Massachusetts. But goshdarnit, Six Flags' property is right on the Connecticut border at Suffield! And as the title above says, Connecticut is easily seen at the top of many attractions … [Read more...]
The Haunting in Connecticut (2009)
Boooo! The Haunting in Connecticut, 2009 Straight up: I'm not a horror film fan. Sure, there are a few I've liked. From the campy fun (Evil Dead) to the cool (The Ring) to the not-really-horror (Get Out). By and large, they're all terrible. I simply don't enjoy torture and gore and cheap scares. The … [Read more...]
Old West Suffield Post Office
Howdy Pardner West Suffield Post Office, Suffield I know that I'm the only one entertained by this, but I don't care. I found the rather unique font used at the post office in West Suffield funny. I know that's not actually funny. But let me be me. CTMQ's Libraries Post Offices, & Schools … [Read more...]
Lake Basile
BaSilly Lake Basile, East Granby, Granby, Simsbury I'm sorry, for those of you familiar with tiny Lake Basile. I know right now you're wondering why in the world it features on this website. It's a little pond (not a lake) choked with vegetation that no one really thinks about. I get it, I do. There's just … [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...]
Bloomfield Spite Barn (Gone)
"Shove Your Tariff(ville)" Bloomfield Spite Barn, Bloomfield I've got nothing here. Other than a love for spite houses. Connecticut has a couple and one is rather infamous. The spite barn in Bloomfield is long gone, but the tavern which is blocked is still there. So I took a picture of it. From the … [Read more...]
The Wilde Building
That's Wilde, Man, Wilde The Wilde Building, Bloomfield Currently the Cigna headquarters, this place deserves more than a passing mention in a throwaway post... but then I'd have to seek out all the cool office buildings in the state and that ain't happening. I realize mid-century design isn’t for everyone, but I … [Read more...]
Aspetuck Falls
AspecTuck and Remove Lens Cover Aspetuck Falls, Washington September 2019 The little Village of New Preston is actually bigger than the shops that everyone associates with New Preston. It encompasses pretty much the entire northwest quadrant of Washington and Lake Waramaug. But it's definitely the artsy cutesy … [Read more...]
