Buckland Hills Carousel

Bucked at Buckland... But Saved Two Bucks The Carousel at The Shoppes at Buckland Hills, Manchester February 19, 2017 Lame. Shame on Buckland Hills Mall. The boys and I arrived around 11:45 on a Sunday. We ate some horrific slices of "pizza" from Sbarro, just killing time until the carousel was to open at … [Read more...]

Fried Clams at Lennie & Joe’s Fish Tale

No Need to Clam Up About This Place Lenny & Joe's Fish Tale Westbrook and Madison I just decided to write about this stop along our list of 61 (I think) "Things to Eat in Connecticut Before It's Too Late" according to Michael and Jane Stern's book on so-called Roadfood. Why? Because although it is only … [Read more...]

69.  Beardsley Zoo

OceLotta Fun! Bridgeport (Google Maps Location) September 20, 2008 Connecticut only has one zoo, thankfully. You see, Hoang and I do have ethical issues with zoos - especially ones that don't go full bore trying to best replicate the animals' natural environs.

70. Carousel Museum at the Beardsley Zoo

I Went Around and Around With This One Bridgeport (Google Maps Location) September 20, 2008 I did not know there was a "carousel museum" at the Beardsley Zoo until I saw a sign there stating such.

Bushnell Park Carousel

This Thing Has Been Around Bushnell Park Carousel, Hartford May 11, 2008 The Bushnell Park Carousel is one of those things that everyone from these parts knows about but probably has not really actually experienced.

Lake Compounce

The Old st Th me Park Lake Compounce, Bristol & Southington September 8, 2007 I have visited Compounce several times since I wrote this page, but we’ll just have to deal with these old and tiny pictures. September in Connecticut is not usually a month for cavorting at a waterpark. However, with climate … [Read more...]
