CTMQ’s Guide to Windsor Locks

September 27, 2017 by Steve 3 Comments

Everything Windsor Locks

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” Windsor Locks 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.

Windsor Locks: Complete!

I “completed” Windsor Locks in August 2022 but new and/or previously unknown-to-me CTMQ-worthy places and things open all the time, so a town is never really “complete.” I will, of course, continue to visit and write about these new places and things.

    Bradley Bowl was a stop on the Professional Bowlers Tour for years. Might be worth covering. The bar is actually pretty good there

    There are trails at Spring Park. Not a lot, but you’ve covered shorter ones on your page. https://mandyandlexi.com/towns/windsor_locks_spring.html
