423. Pool Table Magic Museum

They've Got Some Kind of Balls Windsor Locks (Google Maps location) May 29, 2019 We'll get to why this page exists in a minute. Don't get too excited, as you'll still think it shouldn't. Probably.

But it has risen from the ashes and is back open in late 2013! This makes me very happy. You are not really a fan of curling. Oh sure, you pretend to be during … [Read more...]

Sports, Theme & Adventure Parks, Carousels, Cruises, Trains, Trolleys, Fairs, Parades, Festivals, & Events This page is another catch-all; a listing of a bunch stuff around Connecticut that doesn’t really fit anywhere else.
