Dehn Gallery (Closed)

January 18, 2017 by Steve Leave a Comment

DEHN-DEH-DEHHHHHNNNN! Manchester (Google Maps location) December 10, 2016 MCC's Dehn Gallery closed in 2019. The space was converted to Work_Space, a co-working and meeting space which also contains three tiny art galleries if you care to check that out. I don't. Upon reflection, I should have saved the Dehn … [Read more...]

242. Yale Center for British Art

December 9, 2015 by Steve Leave a Comment

Right, Then. Jolly Good. New Haven (Google Maps location) November 9, 2012 The Yale Center for British Art is a Connecticut Art Trail site. Spoiler Alert: When coupled with the neighboring Yale University Art Gallery, you simply can’t find a better day of art in Connecticut. Oh yeah, both are F-R-E-E, free, … [Read more...]

Glacier Ridge Trail

October 27, 2015 by Steve Leave a Comment

The GRT at NVCC is for You and Me Glacier Ridge Trail, NVCC October 18, 2015 I don’t know why I hiked this trail or why I’m writing about it. It’s not a trail anyone is going to go out of their way for, that’s for sure. But then again, since it is in Waterbury, within sight of the constant stop-and-go traffic of … [Read more...]

The Little Stone House

June 4, 2014 by Steve Leave a Comment

Everybody Must Get Stoned Little Stone House, Storrs May 30, 2014 I would typically caveat my title with something like, “Don’t do drugs,” and, “It should be ‘Every State Must Get Stoned’,” but in this case, I won’t do that. Why? Because this awesome little building is within sight of the East Campus residence … [Read more...]

205. Joe Webb Peoples Museum of Natural History

December 10, 2013 by Steve 1 Comment

Caught in a Webb of Rockin’ Excellence Middletown (Google Maps location) May 18, 2011 I take great pride in my massive list of Connecticut museums. I’m confident in saying that unless someone has copied and pasted it somewhere, it is by far the most comprehensive list of such things. (The same goes for several … [Read more...]

World’s Most Powerful Tandem Van de Graaff Accelerator (RIP)

October 16, 2013 by Steve Leave a Comment

Once You Go Dark Matter, You Never Go Latter Wright Lab, New Haven The last public visits to this thing have come and gone. Yale is dismantling the accelerator, as its usefulness has run its course. Oh well, you missed out. My final stop during the special inauguration day of Yale's 23rd president took me to … [Read more...]

World’s Largest Suspended Natatorium

October 16, 2013 by Steve Leave a Comment

Things are Going Swimmingly Yale Practice Pool, New Haven I spent a wonderful day in New Haven recently doing a few tours of unique and interesting buildings around Yale's campus. There are so many ridiculously cool things of note around Yale that I came away thinking I could do an entirely separate site called YQ … [Read more...]

222. The Cushing Center & Yale Medical Library

October 20, 2012 by Steve Leave a Comment

Zombie Apocalypse Buffet New Haven (Google Maps location) October 2011 & April 2019 I always promised/threatened to bring my son Calvin here someday. Well, that day finally came during his 2nd grade spring break. And I was right - he loved it. As a result, you'll see a mixture of pictures from my 2011 visit with … [Read more...]

Slip Silpin’ Away West Hartford (Google Maps location) October 4, 2011 Every time I visit an art gallery for CTMQ purposes, I promise myself to write about it before the exhibition ends. That way, the websites and materials available to help me write the story would still be accessible. (LOL, you didn't think it … [Read more...]

UConn Men’s Soccer When # 1

September 11, 2012 by Steve 2 Comments

Doo DooDoo Doo! UConn Men’s Soccer Game, Storrs October 12, 2011 Note that this was written in 2011, and the basketball (and field hockey) teams had some national championships ahead of them. It’s not all about the basketball in Storrs. Nope. The men’s soccer team has a longer and just as successful program. … [Read more...]
