Lions and Tigers and Sharp Metal Edges, Oh My! Kent (Google Maps location) September 15, 2012 Having been to 240 museums so far in Connecticut, it stands to reason that I've met some really interesting and talented people.

241. Griswold Inn Art Tour
Full Steam Ahead Essex (Google Maps location) November 4, 2012 "Steve, come on man, everyone knows the Gris and everyone knows it's just a restaurant." Really? Well then everyone is wrong. First of all, the Gris is hardly any ol' restaurant - it has been around and fully operational since 1776. SEVENTEEN … [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.

181. CT Agricultural Experiment Station at Lockwood Farm
Feeeeeeeeed Meeeee Hamden (Google Maps location) August 4, 2010 Mark your calendars now for the first Wednesday of August. I don’t care in what year you are reading this, it still works.

Peter Greenwood Glass Blowing Studio
You Can Blow, But This Place Doesn’t Barkhamsted (Google Maps location) February 2010 Wow. Where to begin?

210. Eolia (Harkness Mansion)
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, Glory be to this Museee-um! Waterford (Google Maps location) May 18, 2011 As I begin to write up this page I'm a little bit bothered by something.

Not Just Marsh Plants New Haven (Google Maps location) August 4, 2010 I went to a lot of places on August 4, 2010.
