Another Dark Entry Hidden Corners of New England, David Yeadon (1976) What's the point of reading through and writing about a travel guide almost as old as I am?

Auerf Arm
"AUER!" Auerf Arm Bloomfield At the time of this writing, I've been publishing stuff on CTMQ for almost 15 years. Pretty impressive if I say so myself. Over the years I've added approximately eleventy-billion things to my pages and lists that I had not originally planned for. I'm not a big user of tags … [Read more...]
Auer Farm
All Things Auer Farm Bloomfield Auer Farm is referred to as "Auerfarm" just as often as "Auer Farm". I don't know which is more correct, so you'll see it both ways on the various pages I've written about various aspects of the park and farm. And oh, there are several pages - enough to warrant this page. If … [Read more...]
Auer Farm Trails
An Auer of Chaos Auer Farm, Bloomfield December 2020 All Things Auer Farm, which is also called Auerfarm. This page is a bit silly. Not that Auer Farm is silly - it's not.

Cycling, Multi-Use, & Rails-to-Trails Paths
Connecticut's Cycling, Multi-Use, & Rails-to-Trails Paths Hoo boy. I delayed putting this page together for a decade - a decade which saw massive growth and improvement of Connecticut's network of various multi-use trails. I was sort of waiting until my younger son was able to ride for 10+ miles to bother cataloging … [Read more...]
Kent Memorial Library
Suffield, Not Kent Kent Memorial Library Suffield There are a bunch of museums (and "museums") at libraries around the state. There are art galleries within lots of libraries. There's the oldest public library in the United States in Salisbury. And there are still several Carnegie Libraries worth noting. … [Read more...]
Hopmeadow Brewing Company
Hope Meadow Hopmeadow Brewing Company, Avon August 2020 You can't really get a more perfect name than "Hopmeadow Brewing." The name is ingrained in the Simsbury/Avon area, most notably with Hopmeadow Street as a main thoroughfare. But I've titled this page "Hope Meadow" for selfish reasons. Because I hope … [Read more...]
Completed Towns & Celebrations
Completely Nutsmeg An astute reader once asked, “Hey Steve, how will you ever actually complete a Connecticut town?” What she meant was that new things open all the time. New breweries, new museums, new trails, new whatevers. And believe it or not, I sometimes learn of things that belong on a CTMQ list after I’ve … [Read more...]
