Book Review: Turning the Tables

December 15, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Merda Pura Turning the Tables, Teresa Giudice The pandemic has been wild. We've all done things we never thought we'd do... going a week without a shower, eating ice cream for breakfast, learning what Minecraft actually is... and reading a prison memoir from a "Real Housewife of New Jersey." Or her ghostwriter. … [Read more...]

263. Military Museum of Southern New England (RIP)

July 13, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Awww, Shoot! Danbury (RIP) May 24, 2014 Almost exactly one year before my family visited the Military Museum of Southern New England in Danbury, its founder was shot and killed by police at his Ridgefield home. About a year after our visit, the museum's name was changed to The U.S. Military Museum. And three … [Read more...]

262. Danbury Railway Museum

June 21, 2020 by Steve Leave a Comment

Hoppin’ The Turnstiles Danbury (Google Maps location) May 24, 2014 It may surprise you to learn that the Danbury Railway Museum has only existed since 1996. It just seems like the kind of place that has always been there... in the heart of Danbury and its serpentine maze of streets. Which, now that I … [Read more...]

Charter Oak Brewing Company

August 9, 2019 by Steve Leave a Comment

TIMMMBERRRR! Charter Oak Brewing Company, Danbury May 2019 My word, where to start with Charter Oak. While they are a newer Connecticut brewery, they’ve also been around forever. Okay, 2012, but that’s nearly forever in Connecticut-breweryland. I’ve followed the company’s trajectory since then, and it has been a … [Read more...]

Cross Culture Kombucha

December 22, 2018 by Steve Leave a Comment

Snoochie Boochies Cross Culture Kombucha, Danbury November 2018 People who are into kombucha apparently call it "booch." I am not into kombucha, but I know a few people who swear by it. They tell me it tastes good and that it's good for their stomachs. Okay, fair enough. But anything I read about "booch" … [Read more...]

Dubl Twister

April 5, 2018 by Steve Leave a Comment

Muito Obrigado Ice Cream at Double Twister, Danbury Danbury has a very large Brazilian population. As you’d then expect, there are a bunch of Brazilian restaurants in Danbury. (My quick research shows a distinct lack of true Brazilian waxing operations in town, however.) Dubl Twister is unique among … [Read more...]

CTMQ’s Guide to Danbury

September 15, 2017 by Steve 3 Comments

Everything Danbury I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state. I plan on “completing” Danbury CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. If … [Read more...]

Danbury’s Town Trails

September 15, 2017 by Steve Leave a Comment

Danbury’s Town Trails Danbury is one of Connecticut’s few true cities. We have a bunch of towns that are officially cities, but when listing city cities, my list is pretty short. Danbury makes the cut. So it’s cool that there are a bunch of trails in Danbury; owned and maintained, ostensibly, by the city. … [Read more...]

234. Tarrywile Mansion

May 13, 2014 by Steve Leave a Comment

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...]
