The G.O.A.T. Riverview Farms, Glastonbury I believe ol' Toggy has been removed. How awesome is this? It's Toggy, the two-headed goat! She was born on January 21, 2008, right in the room we were standing in! Just a genetic abnormality, Toggy had two spines too, but only one set of organs. I think it was … [Read more...]
Polly & Joan’s Cordial Company (Closed)
Cordially Closed Polly & Jean Cordials, Wallingford I apologize to Polly & Jean. I apologize for never writing a page about your cold-soaked cordials when you were still in the business of cold-soaking fruit into cordials. Now, I'm not pretending that my doing so would have helped the business at all. I'm merely … [Read more...]
Paddle Creek Beer Company (Closed)
Curieux Paddle Creek Beer Company, East Hartford October 2020 The brewery closed in September 2024. There was this weird month in late 2018 when it became clear that East Hartford's venerable Olde Burnside Brewing wasn't going to make it to 2019 and that some other guys were going to start up a new brewery in … [Read more...]
Carriage House Brewing (Closed)
What is Wrong With Me? Carriage House Brewing, Canton Carriage House failed to renew their license in 2021 and are officially kaput. This is the dumbest page on this whole website. Or one of them at least. I'm not even going to tell anyone I've written it. So if you've found yourself here of your own … [Read more...]
Babb’s Beach
Lots of Babble Babb's Beach Suffield I've waited a decade to write this page. And I should probably wait at least a decade more. But here we are... on a page about a tiny strip of sand along the shore of The Congamond Lakes' Middle Pond. For Babb's Beach was once an entertainment hotbed and there are hopes … [Read more...]
Books by the Falls (Closed)
The Falls of Man Books by the Falls, Derby This place was absorbed by another business and then just sort of faded away. Nobody reads books anymore. Personally, I used to read maybe 30-35 books a year, but thanks to 2020 being the most insane timeline, I find myself staring at screens following the reality show … [Read more...]
Hopmeadow Brewing Company (Closed)
Hope Meadow Hopmeadow Brewing Company, Avon August 2020 Brewery closed at the end of 2024. You can't really get a more perfect name than "Hopmeadow Brewing." The name is ingrained in the Simsbury/Avon area, most notably with Hopmeadow Street as a main thoroughfare. But I've titled this page "Hope Meadow" for … [Read more...]
Bloomfield Spite Barn (Gone)
"Shove Your Tariff(ville)" Bloomfield Spite Barn, Bloomfield I've got nothing here. Other than a love for spite houses. Connecticut has a couple and one is rather infamous. The spite barn in Bloomfield is long gone, but the tavern which is blocked is still there. So I took a picture of it. From the … [Read more...]
Maple Lane/Foggy Harbor Spirits (Closed)
Currantly Closed Maple Lane Spirits, Preston This is one of those pages that I write while never being 100% convinced I'm guessing its veracity correctly. I am very certain that Maple Lane Spirits ceased operations in 2018 or 2019. I can't find any sort of announcement to that effect, and therefore I'm not … [Read more...]
263. Military Museum of Southern New England (RIP)
Awww, Shoot! Danbury (RIP) May 24, 2014 Almost exactly one year before my family visited the Military Museum of Southern New England in Danbury, its founder was shot and killed by police at his Ridgefield home. About a year after our visit, the museum's name was changed to The U.S. Military Museum. And three … [Read more...]
