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.

Baptism by Bathtub Sanctuary of Love, Norwich November 14, 2008 Unfortunately I was a little late to this odd attraction. I'm still writing about it because it still exists (in 2008) to a large degree and because, well, because it's still a Connecticut curiosity. After the Hell Hollow area in Voluntown … [Read more...]
