Mystic Aquarium
Lion(fish) and Tiger(sharks), Oh My! Mystic section of Stonington (Google Maps Location) October 11, 2007, etc. I've been to the Aquarium a few times since the initial visit that most of this page is based upon - and have gained a greater appreciation for it over the years.

Cusgutter Falls
Aw, Cuss. Cusgutter Falls, Bristol March 2008 For a longer description of the hike on the Cascade and other Tunxis Regional Trails in Southington and Bristol, you can leave and go here. Aw, cuss...

Jewish: Crown Market
Where is "Jewish?" Bishop's Corner, West Hartford October 2015 This is my first "food/restaurant" post in the "CT Restaurant Tour of the World" section in which I flew solo. I still don't really know what to do with this section and I darn well know that I'm not qualified to write about food. At … [Read more...]
Pizza at Sally’s Apizza
The Best Pizza on Earth Sally’s Apizza, New Haven June 2015 Disclaimer: I love Sally’s. I love them more than I love Pepe’s and Modern and every other pretender to the exalted throne that lords over the Connecticut pizza kingdom. Unapologetically. (And you thought that disclaimer was going to be one … [Read more...]
Concept of Freedom Trail: Groton
