Ice C.R.E.A.M. Micalizzis, Bridgeport Bridgeport. The BPT. You know, the bankrupt and corrupt blighted city situated in the “richest county in America.” I’ve lived in Connecticut over half of my life now, and Bridgeport is perhaps the most fascinating thing about this state to me. It is a glaring example of what … [Read more...]
Tulmeadow Farm Store
Jethro Tulmeadow Tulmeadow Farm, Simsbury My title makes no sense and means absolutely nothing, but it made me chuckle quietly to myself. What’s that I say? Chuckle To Myself Quietly? Did you know that is a little used text/Twitter/etc. acronym? That being “CTMQ?” It’s true. At one time, when searching … [Read more...]
234. Tarrywile Mansion
Tarry Here Wile I Poke Around Danbury (Google Maps location) June 22, 2012 Ah, another one of these places... Museum? Or not a museum? Well, the simple fact that you are reading these words on this page tell you that I’ve deemed it a museum. Though not really. But sort of. It’s just like the … [Read more...]
Keeney Schoolhouse Museum
Keenish Keeney Schoolhouse Museum, Manchester (Location) June 2012 Connecticut Museum visit #232. As I always do on Connecticut Open House days, I try to get to a few rarely open museums. Earlier in the morning, I made it up to the East Granby Historical Society Museum by myself. Then I went home, collected … [Read more...]
Mary Edwards Mountain Property
Mary, Mary, Why You Buggin? Mary Edwards Mountain Property, Granby May 2014 The GLT has added a trail or two since we hiked here. North Granby. North Granby? Of course it’s just the northern part of Granby proper, but it really has a distinct flavor of its own. And that flavor is beautiful and remote. North … [Read more...]
Blackledge Falls
”Don’t Go Chasing Waterfalls...” Blackledge Falls, Glastonbury April 27, 2014 This hike was part of a twofer. That’s right, I was putting my boys through the paces – first a few miles away at Shoddy Mill Preserve and now here at Blackledge Falls near Glastonbury’s border with Hebron. (On subsequent days, … [Read more...]
Shoddy Mill Preserve
Not Too Shoddy Shoddy Mill Preserve, Glastonbury April 27, 2014 I’ve been on a kick lately hiking with my sons. Credit the endless winter of 2013-14 and our shared need to just get outside now that the weather has warmed above freezing. (That and my OCD telling me that build out my new CTMQ sections on land … [Read more...]
Mill Pond Trail
Duck, Duck, Goose... Spiral Slide! Mill Pond Trail, Newington March 2014 Yes, I know. I know this is a somewhat ridiculous “trail” and to have its own page on CTMQ is a bit silly. Don’t I have enough to write about already? Must I bother with a little walk around a pond in Newington? Yes and yes. But once … [Read more...]
Imagine Nation
If I Ruled the World… Imagine That Imagine Nation Children's Museum, Bristol (Google Maps location) March 7, 2014 Post pandemic, Imagine Nation is no longer a self-guided museum. It is now an instructor-led, appointment only type of place. It still bills itself as a museum however. Everyone is certainly … [Read more...]
Campbell Falls State Park
Campbell Falls State Park Norfolk April 19, 2014 Phew. This is hard work. I’ve had a page about Campbell Falls for several years up on CTMQ, but it always bothered me. I visited this place in 2010 with my older son Damian and we merely parked and made the quick .4 mile round-trip walk down to the highlight of … [Read more...]
