CTMQ's Guide to Suffield

Redscroll Records

January 1, 2019 by Steve 3 Comments

DJ MacaDamian Nut Redscroll Records, Wallingford I know there are a few vinyl record shops that still exist around the state. Heck, I’ve already (sort of) profiled one in Vernon. And no, I think we agree that it is not part of this website’s mission to visit and chronicle them all. In fact, this will be the last … [Read more...]

Chapman Falls

December 23, 2018 by Steve 2 Comments

Devilishly Handsome Chapman Falls, East Haddam I am all-too aware that my pictures of Chapman Falls are some of the weakest on the internet. I know that hundreds of people visit Devil's Hopyard State Park every day and take better pictures of these falls. I've been to the state park, one of the more popular … [Read more...]

Cross Culture Kombucha

December 22, 2018 by Steve 1 Comment

Snoochie Boochies Cross Culture Kombucha, Danbury November 2018 People who are into kombucha apparently call it "booch." I am not into kombucha, but I know a few people who swear by it. They tell me it tastes good and that it's good for their stomachs. Okay, fair enough. But anything I read about "booch" … [Read more...]

Hartford, Connecticut Mormon Temple

December 21, 2018 by Steve Leave a Comment

Okay Then Connecticut's Only Mormon Temple Farmington I have this personal idea that the newer the religion, the more absurd it seems. Like, Scientology is just completely ridiculous because the guy who made it up was alive during the same time many of you were. His books are public knowledge and his ideas were … [Read more...]

CTMQ’s Guide to New Milford

December 20, 2018 by Steve Leave a Comment

Everything New Milford I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state. I plan on “completing” New Milford CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. … [Read more...]

Jesse F. Smith Memorial Forest

December 11, 2018 by Steve 2 Comments

Jesse's Burl Jesse F. Smith Memorial Forest, Suffield July 2018 Those of you who know me - or at least know a little bit about how I operate - won't be too surprised to read that it took me three attempts to hike this little property. THREE. Why? I don't really know. The forest entrance was closed for … [Read more...]
