Burlington: Complete!

December 7, 2018 by Steve Leave a Comment

Burlington: Complete! Greenhouse Café & Tavern Here is my list of everything I've done in Burlington! I’m very excited to write this page. This is the 12th of what may ultimately be 169 town completion celebration pages! Yes, of course I am fully aware of how absurd that is. Send your condolences to my wife and … [Read more...]

Hubble Tower

December 1, 2018 by Steve 1 Comment

“I Can See The Whole Universe From Here!” Hubble Tower (Private), Burlington November 2018 I really wish I could remember how I found this thing. It would probably freak you out if I told you that I was staring at Google Maps satellite images one day for some reason and happened to find it in the woods of … [Read more...]

CTMQ’s Guide to East Granby

November 30, 2018 by Steve Leave a Comment

Everything East Granby 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” East Granby CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. … [Read more...]

Nod Hill Brewery

November 29, 2018 by Steve 1 Comment

"Don’t Sleep on This Place” Nod Hill Brewery, Ridgefield May 2018 If you foolishly lurk around beer groups on social media, you’ll see the phrase “don’t sleep on this [beer/brewery]” quite often. It’s especially irksome when it’s some well-established brewery or more often, just another New England IPA that tastes … [Read more...]

Huntington State Park Bears!

November 28, 2018 by Steve Leave a Comment

... And Wolves Too Anna Hyatt Huntington Sculptures Redding For the uninitiated, I have been a big Stephen Colbert fan for many, many years. (I’ll admit, I no longer watch him now that he’s on CBS, but I was a devotee of his Comedy Central show.) He had a lot of recurring jokes, one of which centered around bears. … [Read more...]

Bailey’s Ravine at Ayers Gap

November 26, 2018 by Steve 2 Comments

A Gap in My Knowledge Bailey's Ravine at Ayers Gap, Franklin September 2018 If you just want to see the waterfall here, go here. This page is about the whole area and its trails. First things first. Is this still a Nature Conservancy property? Who can tell? As far as I know it is, but the Nature Conservancy's … [Read more...]

Countryside Park & Covered Bridge

November 25, 2018 by Steve Leave a Comment

Might as Well Cover the Whole Countryside Countryside Park Covered Bridge, Avon July 2016 Little Countryside Park, tucked away in western Avon next to the larger Huckleberry Hill property, deserves its own separate identity. This occurred to me as I was looking for information on the covered bridge here and … [Read more...]

389. Elton Tavern Museum

November 24, 2018 by Steve Leave a Comment

Little Pink Houses, For You and Me Burlington (Google Maps location) June 9, 2018 Very few, if any, of you have stopped to think about all the Connecticut museums you've driven by a million times and have never visited. It's a refrain I hear all the time when people email me or speak with me about CTMQ. And it's … [Read more...]
