CTMQ’s Guide to Brooklyn

Everything Brooklyn I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state.

Brooklyn’s Town Trails

MMmmm, Cat Cheese Meadow Stone Farm, Brooklyn June 9, 2012 2014 Update: This innocuous little page, which has very little useful information on it, has become one of the stranger places on CTMQ. Much of it is hidden to you readers, but if you look at the comments, they provide some clues. I have deleted many of … [Read more...]
