CTMQ’s Guide to Middletown

January 31, 2021 by Steve Leave a Comment

Everything Middletown I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state.

Cedar Bridge House

January 28, 2021 by Steve 1 Comment

Bridge Over Troubled Listing Cedar Bridge House, Glastonbury Oh snap, this is another page about something that I have not actually visited myself. I think that makes maybe three out of thousands on this site. (Warning: there will be more, mostly about private homes that I can only admire/gawk at from my keyboard.) … [Read more...]

Loomis Homestead

January 18, 2021 by Steve 2 Comments

Loomising Large Loomis Homestead Windsor Windsor claims, with some authority, to be Connecticut's oldest town.

New Haven Holocaust Memorial

January 16, 2021 by Steve 1 Comment

Okay, c) above is not true and it could be categorized as a satirical quip. I guess I simply can't … [Read more...]
