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

Columbia: Complete!
Columbia: Complete! The Main Moose Here is my list of everything I've done in Columbia! I’m very excited to write this page. This is the 20th of what may ultimately be 169 town completion celebration pages! Yes, of course I am fully aware of how absurd that is. But I love it. For those of you who are new … [Read more...]
Hops on the Hill
A Visit to HOTH Hops on the Hill Brewery, Glastonbury November 2019 Most prominently featured in “The Empire Strikes Back,” Hoth is the sixth planet in the remote system of the same name.

Mono Pond State Park Reserve
A Case of Mono Mono Pond State Park Reserve, Columbia 1.5 Miles, November 2019 A good hiking partner is always game to hike.

Hop River State Park Trail: Section 4
Hoppin’ Cold Parker Bridge Road to Willimantic River, 4.1 Miles Andover, Coventry & Columbia, November 2019 I used to race. Bicycles. Road race. For years.

Island Woods
Aloha! Island Woods, Columbia November 2019 I know what you're thinking right now... you know, the "Steve, really? Does Columbia's little half mile loop at the back of the Island Woods subdivision deserve its own page on CTMQ?" You have a point. There is literally nothing of interest here.

Blackledge River Greenway
Unfiltered Marlborough Blackledge River Greenway, Marlborough November 2019 When I searched online for places to hike in Marlborough, I came up fairly empty. I found that quite odd for a town with so much state forest. I sort of forgot about it, made my Marlborough Town Guide, and went about my business. I … [Read more...]
Center Street Brewing Co.
Wallace Avenue Brewing Company Center Street Brewing Company, Wallingford April 2019 The slogan of Center Street Brewing Company is “Welcome to the Center of the Brewniverse.” Tortured as that may be, it is apt.
