Life of Brian Brian Dennehy Bridge, Derby January 2026 There's nothing quite like the feeling of going to a place to take a few pictures for the purposes of this website and stumbling upon something else that deserves its own page here on CTMQ. I live for these moments. When I went to snap a few … [Read more...]

Satan’s Kingdom (Bethany)
Well, That Stinks Historical/Apocryphal Satan's Kingdom (Bethany) Bethany is a rural town with a lot of horses. Parts of Bethany smell like horses. But that's better than smelling like sulphur and hellfire and brimstone. Residents should be happy that the unnamed guy from the 18th century apparently didn't wield … [Read more...]
The Leslie Knope Promenade
You Schur They Won't Say Knope? The Leslie Knope Promenade, West Hartford I've lived in West Hartford since 2001 or so. It has its pluses and minuses for sure. The quips and insults hurled its way are often more or less true, and no one is a bigger critic of the town's decision-making than me. The powers that be … [Read more...]
Dr. William T. Cogswell Memorial Fountain
Grab a Beer For This One Dr. William T. Cogswell Statue, Vernon December 2025 Everything about this statue is funny to me. And, fortunately, it's apparently funny to almost everyone else too. The fact that it still stands here in the center of the Rockville downtown section of Vernon is also kind of funny. … [Read more...]
National Humane Alliance Fountain
Derby and Horses... Not in Kentucky National Humane Alliance Fountain, Derby December 2024 There are websites dedicated to locating and writing about all the statuary and memorials and plaques in Connecticut. I love those sites! This is not one of those sites. There is one website dedicated to locating and … [Read more...]
Devil’s Jump
Might as Well Jump! Jump! Devil's Jump, Derby December 2024 Here I am again... the guy slowly driving through a cemetery, past a burial service, looking for a place called Devil's Jump. Cemetery roads are notoriously maze-like, perhaps I'll just stop to ask someone directions to the place where Satan hangs … [Read more...]
Hell Hole
Aw. I Think Simsbury is Nice! Hell Hole, Simsbury This page is a great example of who I am at my deepest core... for better or for worse. And I won't even burden you with how far down the Satanic rabbit hole I went just now either. Okay, so, yeah. I try to find all these places around the state named for the … [Read more...]
Adjutant William Campbell Memorial
Bloody Hell Adjutant William Campbell Memorial, West Haven November 2024 I've had this memorial on my radar for a while. I always had it in my head as the only memorial in the US honoring an enemy combatant. Which, if true, is both weird and fascinating. But now that I've been to the Adjutant William Campbell … [Read more...]
Riverton Field Baby Green Monster
Baby Green Monster Riverton Little League Field, Barkhamsted I can find nothing online about this, but I thought it was just the cutest thing. I'm not a Red Sox fan - heck, I've never even watched a full baseball game in my life - but I can appreciate what some fan/dad has done here in the beautiful Riverton … [Read more...]
Dorence Atwater Monument
Terryville's Dorence Nightengale Dorence Atwater Monument, Plymouth Like most people, I had never heard of Dorence Atwater. In fact, I would have guessed that Dorence was a woman. Like a mixture of Dorothy and Florence... Dorence. Well, Dorence was not a woman. He was Plymouth's Civil War hero and in fact, … [Read more...]
