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 3 Comments

Bloomfield: Complete! Ginza & Naatiya Here is my list of everything I've done in Bloomfield! I’m very excited to write this page. This is the 22nd 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 … [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...]

Penwood State Park’s Color Trails

August 19, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Penwood: A Rainbow of Fun! Penwood State Park, Bloomfield & Simsbury Multiple Visits I am fortunate to live very near the MDC Reservoirs - Talcott Mountain State Park - Penwood State Park - Wilcox Park corridor of woods and trails.

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...]

Farmington River Park

July 27, 2020 by Steve 5 Comments

Roots Rock Farmington River Park, Bloomfield & Windsor May 2020 I've written several times about the pockets of Bloomfield over on the western edge along the Metacomet Ridge. And for good reason! Several cool trails course up and down the hill over there. But there are other "hidden" spots in Bloomfield - … [Read more...]

M.K. Wilcox Park

July 15, 2020 by Steve 3 Comments

No Dumping M.K. Wilcox Park, Bloomfield June 2020 I imagine hundreds, if not thousands, of people hike through MK Wilcox Park in Bloomfield every year and don't even know it. There they are, hiking north through Penwood State Park, taking in the panoramic views west and checking off abandoned chimneys along the … [Read more...]
