Shelf. Just Shelf. Top Shelf Brewing Company, Manchester Mid 2013 - Closed Mid 2016 October 2016 Update: Top Shelf has closed for good. They sold the brewery and moved on, which based on the Top Shelf beers that I had, was a good decision. Everything below is old and outdated. But it's always fun to reminisce. … [Read more...]

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.

213. Neil’s American Dream Museum (RIP)
Neil Had a Dream West Hartford June 1, 2011 This museum is now closed as Neil has sadly passed away. RIP, buddy. Every now and then this website affords me entry into places that are beyond description. I get to meet people who might fly under most radars. It’s not that Neil Sakow or his museum were secrets … [Read more...]
Meadow Stone Farm (RIP)
MMmmm, Cat Cheese Meadow Stone Farm, Brooklyn June 9, 2012 2014 Update: This innocuous little page, which has very little useful information on it, has become one of the stranger places on CTMQ. Much of it is hidden to you readers, but if you look at the comments, they provide some clues. I have deleted many of … [Read more...]
The Chocolate Lab (RIP)
Good Job, Dawg The Chocolate Lab, Greenwich May 25, 2013 2014 Update: I have received word that this place is closed. Re-reading this page is annoying, because I seem to have mixed up the names of the restaurant chef, the chocolate chef, and the real chocolate chef guy whom I never named. But if they are indeed … [Read more...]

434. Charles Ives Birthplace Museum (RIP)
Bittersweet Symphony Danbury June 22, 2012 2019 Update: No, this wasn’t the 434th museum I visited. It was somewhere around the 175th. But I decided to roll these post-closure “visits” into my general Museum Visits list so I have one less list to worry about. I figure with the defunct visits, it doesn’t really … [Read more...]
Belgique Chocolatier (RIP)
Très Délicieux, Très Cher Belgique Chocolatier, Kent February 25, 2012 Updates: This place closed in the fall of 2012. This was always my go-to anytime I went hiking out near Kent. Sad face. Also, just having re-read this page in 2019... it's a shame I put no effort into it, as Belgique was pretty great. The … [Read more...]
West River Fishway (RIP)
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...]
