Mory’s

A Rare Bit of CTMQ Mory's, New Haven October 2013 Greetings! You have found your way to another of the very few, very rare CTMQ pages where I write about something I didn't really experience. As you see from the pictures, I was definitely in Mory's at Yale, but I must come clean: I didn't eat or drink anything … [Read more...]

Sgt. Stubby: An American Hero (2018)

What Up, Dawg! Sgt. Stubby: An American Hero, 2018 Nobody likes war. Okay, that's not true. There are several chickenhawks I can name off the top of my head who love war. Then there are war movies; when done well, they are always up for major awards. A war movie is nominated for the Best Picture Oscar nearly every … [Read more...]

CTMQ’s Guide to New Haven

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

Handsome Dan

Dead Dan First College Mascot in the United States New Haven I toured some buildings on the Yale campus once, including the incredible Payne Whitney Gym. It's such an incredible gym, I called it a museum and wrote about it. And notably, no one called me an idiot for doing so. In the lobby of the massive … [Read more...]

254. Payne Whitney Gym

Poola-Poola New Haven (Google Maps location) October 12, 2013 You know what? I’m not going to do what I always do on pages like this and spend two paragraphs weakly explaining why I consider a certain place a museum when it is clearly not a museum. This is a gym on the Yale campus in New Haven that I’m including … [Read more...]

Erector Brewing at NOLO (Closed)

Erector, All Set Erector Brewing at NOLO May 2019 Erector hasn't brewed anything at this location since right around my visit - and I was never 100% convinced the beers discussed below were even brewed here. The pandemic appears to have officially put the nail in the coffin. The brewer went to Vermont for a while … [Read more...]

Gather New Haven

Gather New Haven New Haven It’s tough to be an urban land trust. For obvious reasons, obviously. Because Connecticut’s cities are so geographically small, very few have much in the way of greenspace. New Haven benefits from its location – not only being a coastal city, but three rivers course through town to the … [Read more...]
