The Sky's the Limit 2015 Hiking Challenge #10 West Rock Ridge State Park Overlook New Haven, June 27, 2015 Phew! After the epic (man, how much do I hate that word) previous TSTL Challenge hike with Damian out in Kent, this simple drive up was a welcome and easy respite. That's right, a few of these TSTL … [Read more...]
Ashley’s Ice Cream
For the Dog Days of Summer Ashley's Ice Cream, New Haven (+ 4 other locations) September 9, 2014 I’ll readily admit that writing up visits to all of Connecticut's homemade ice cream joints is a bit of a slog. It’s hard. Aside from a few standout stands, the rest just pretty much... exist. But I started … [Read more...]
Wintergreen Falls
It's Winter, but not Green Wintergreen Falls, New Haven January 17, 2014 Another day out in Connecticut's most interesting city with the boys... which included the two trails at West Rock Nature Center.

"C'mon D!" West Rock Nature Center, New Haven January 18, 2014 If you're poked around this site a bit more than the average visitor, you may know that I am drawn to quirky and odd things that seem incongruous to me.

World’s Most Powerful Tandem Van de Graaff Accelerator (RIP)
Once You Go Dark Matter, You Never Go Latter Wright Lab, New Haven The last public visits to this thing have come and gone. Yale is dismantling the accelerator, as its usefulness has run its course.

World’s Largest Suspended Natatorium
Things are Going Swimmingly Yale Practice Pool, New Haven I spent a wonderful day in New Haven recently doing a few tours of unique and interesting buildings around Yale's campus.

222. The Cushing Center & Yale Medical Library
Zombie Apocalypse Buffet New Haven (Google Maps location) October 2011 & April 2019 I always promised/threatened to bring my son Calvin here someday. Well, that day finally came during his 2nd grade spring break. And I was right - he loved it. As a result, you'll see a mixture of pictures from my 2011 visit with … [Read more...]
230. Creative Arts Workshop Galleries
I Can’t Stop Crowing About This Place! CAW! CAW! New Haven (Google Maps location) December 5, 2010 I don’t really remember how this place got lost in the hundreds of places I’ve visited and tens of thousands of pictures I’ve taken. But it did. Actually, that’s not true. It got “lost” because I never really … [Read more...]
Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History
Ain’t Nobody Like the Peabody I Got New Haven (Google Maps location) September 11, 2010 The Peabody was closed for three years from 2021-2024 for a full refresh.

West River Fishway (Removed)
Dam, Yo! West River Fishway Behind a Walgreens on Whalley Ave, New Haven In 2015, the dam and fishway were removed - which is a good thing! Fish now have a direct path to get to where they're going. The fish ladder was moved to another river in Connecticut. This is still an interesting story, so I'm not deleting … [Read more...]
