Fight the Power Power Dams Trail, Farmington March 2018 I hike a lot. I don’t necessarily mean miles upon miles, but rather, lots of different little trails. Many would suppose that they all run together and become repetitive after a while. Many would be wrong. It’s not just that each trail has something … [Read more...]

No Worries Brewing Company
Only Been Once? No Worries. No Worries Brewing Company, Hamden February 2017 I’ve always enjoyed the accidental subliminal advertising No Worries of Hamden enjoys. As in, “I’d like to go to a brewery tomorrow, but I can’t decide which one.” “No worries.” “Oh yeah? Okay. See you there.” Brilliant. … [Read more...]
CTMQ’s Guide to Hamden
Everything Hamden 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 AM A GIANT MASTER
Master What? I AM A GIANT MASTER Sleeping Giant State Park, Hamden I have done a lot of things for CTMQ. I am inarguably the first/only person to have done a lot of things I have done.

344. Best Video Film & Cultural Center
When “Best” Also Means “Only” Hamden (Google Maps location) February 25, 2017 Too often, I feel the need to explain myself as to why I lump certain places into my liberal definition of what constitutes a museum.

2nd Lt. Vincent H. Core Memorial
Just Plane Interesting Lt. Vincent H. Core Memorial Memorial Town Forest, Farmington We Nutmeggers have a penchant for memorializing somewhat random people, places, and things around the state.

Farmington Memorial Town Forest
Getting to the Core of Things Memorial Town Forest Trails, Farmington February 4, 2018 I wrote this opening salvo on my Suburban Park Trails page: Farmington does this really great thing – beyond just preserving lots of greenspace.

238. Quinnipiac Dawnland Museum
It Just Dawned on Me... Guilford (Google Maps location) September 8, 2012 At the time of my visit to this little one-man-show museum, I am fairly certain it was a standalone operation that just happened to be located at another museum - The Dudley Farm Museum.
