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.

Chrissie D’Esopo’s Flower House
D'EsoPow! Chrissie D'Esopo's Flower House Avon I view this page two ways. One, it's ridiculous. I can't be driving around the state every June taking drive-by pictures of every house with nice landscaping. C'mon now. Or... it's awesome. Surely I'm highlighting the immense labor and cost put into this place on … [Read more...]

SCELBI Computer Virtual Museum
SCELBI Date Milford August 1, 2020 The COVID-19 Pandemic is a strange time. I'm writing this in early August, now five months into this nightmare... thinking about the year that should have been.
