CTMQ’s Guide to Goshen

Everything Goshen 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” Goshen CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. If I’ve … [Read more...]

Goshen’s Town Trails

Goshen's Town Trails Putting together Goshen's pages for CTMQ has been enlightening. I learned (via Wikipedia, for what that's worth) that Ivan Llendl lived here in a $25 million mansion. And one of my son's favorite authors (in elementary school), Mary Pope Osbourne lives/lived here. And Madeline L'Engle! In … [Read more...]

Gosh Darn Nice Goshen Land Trust, Goshen, 0.7 Miles March 2016 When you skim this page it will have no effect on you. And it shouldn’t. It’s just another short little trail you’ll likely never seek out featuring a little boy you’ll never know. But a lot of my inspiration to write up all the stuff that I do really … [Read more...]

Thorncrest Farm and Milk House Chocolates

OMGoshen Thorncrest Farm and Milk House Chocolates, Goshen March 16, 2014 Since our initial visit, we've sort of made Thorncrest our "special" chocolate place. Valentine's Days, anniversaries, "It's Saturday and we're near Goshen So We Might As Well Go to Thorncrest Days..." It's still remote, the salesroom … [Read more...]

Goshen Land Trust Trails

Goshen Land Trust Since I was born and raised in the mid-Atlantic Philadelphia area, one of the most difficult things for me to say “Connecticut Correctly” is “Waterbury.” Whereas Nutmeggers say “Wah-terBARE-ee” I’m apt to say “wooderboohri” which sounds bad enough.

Lights! Camera! Action Wildlife! Um... Camera? Goshen (Google Maps Location) April 25, 2009 This website depends mightily on pictures. Even though they are generally terrible, they give those who just scan these long-winded posts something to look at, I actually use them to frame the story. Since I hardly ever … [Read more...]

I Know My Miranda Rights, Ossifer! Miranda Vineyard, Goshen June 15, 2008 As with many old winery visits, this one deserves an update at some point. “You have the right to remain drinking. Anything you say can and will be used against you as you sample another varietal. You have the right to buy a bottle of … [Read more...]
