Southwest District School

November 7, 2026 by Steve Leave a Comment

This Exists Southwest District School, Bloomfield (Location) July 2019 Connecticut museum visit #450. Yeahhhhhhh... I didn't visit this schoolhouse. Well, I did, as these are my pictures, but I didn't get in. I live quite nearby this old stone structure and pass by it quite often. I've reached a point at … [Read more...]

Evans Family Meadows

January 27, 2026 by Steve 1 Comment

Good Times Evans Family Meadows, Bloomfield November 2026 This is a Traprock Ridge Land Conservancy property. Life is funny. I was on my 2025 CTMQ hiatus, necessitated by my career and my son's activities. I had just simply stopped doing "CTMQ stuff" for a while, and I was enjoying it. I spent several … [Read more...]

Auerf Arm

April 8, 2021 by Steve Leave a Comment

"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

April 8, 2021 by Steve 1 Comment

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

April 8, 2021 by Steve Leave a Comment

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. The page is silly because I have too many separate pages on Auer Farm. And now two separate pages on the trails at the property. (The … [Read more...]

Bloomfield: Complete!

August 28, 2020 by Steve 2 Comments

Bloomfield: Complete! Ginza & Naatiya Here is the CTMQ Guide to Bloomfield with my list and stories about everything I’ve done there! After a decade of writing CTMQ, I decided to try to “complete” towns. In that decade of traveling and writing, I had already done a lot of stuff in many of our towns … [Read more...]

Bloomfield Spite Barn (Gone)

August 20, 2020 by Steve 1 Comment

"Shove Your Tariff(ville)" Bloomfield Spite Barn, Bloomfield I've got nothing here. Other than a love for spite houses. Connecticut has a couple and one is rather infamous. The spite barn in Bloomfield is long gone, but the tavern which is blocked is still there. So I took a picture of it. From the … [Read more...]

The Wilde Building

August 20, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

That's Wilde, Man, Wilde The Wilde Building, Bloomfield Currently the Cigna headquarters, this place deserves more than a passing mention in a throwaway post... but then I'd have to seek out all the cool office buildings in the state and that ain't happening. I realize mid-century design isn’t for everyone, but I … [Read more...]

MDC Reservoir 6

August 16, 2020 by Steve 2 Comments

The MDC is a Criminal Organization MDC Reservoir 6, Bloomfield, Simsbury, & West Hartford August 2020 I must admit... it's sort of weird writing about a place I've been to a million times. But here I am, nearly 14 years after starting this website and after 20 years of living nearby, doing just that. Yes, I just … [Read more...]
