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

Currantly Closed Maple Lane Spirits, Preston This is one of those pages that I write while never being 100% convinced I'm guessing its veracity correctly.

The Old Drake Hill Flower Bridge
Drizzy Drake The Old Drake Hill Flower Bridge Simsbury I live pretty close to The Old Drake Hill Flower Bridge, so I've been passing by it for two decades. It's just part of my life.

406. Edward A. Card Photography Museum
Card Catalog Windham (Google Maps location) January 5, 2019 Okay procrastination, you've got me. You've got me good. Fortunately, very few people read the vast collection of CTMQ museum pages.
