CTMQ’s Guide to Washington

January 29, 2019 by Steve 1 Comment

Everything Washington

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” Washington CTMQ-style… as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ.

If I’ve missed anything in town or if anything has closed or changed, please let me know.

    To this day I harbor a wholly unwarranted dislike of Washington. From ages about 8 to 12 I often would go there to visit my grandmother, usually with a number of relatives gathered, and these affairs always were really boring. It didn’t help that we always went on Sunday, and I found Sundays depressing because i knew I had to be back in school the next day.
