Orenaug Park Stone Pillars

A Pillar of the Pillar World Orenaug Park, Woodbury January 7, 2012 To me, my title says it all. Oh sure, we have bigger stone pillars and more important pillars of our communities and rather handsome caterpillars in our state. But these pillars shall never be pilloried! For these are awesome pillars. I … [Read more...]

Rob Zombie’s House

I don't care about famous people. At all. Ask Hoang. Plenty of famous people live in Connecticut; far more than most people think. And since much of Connecticut is staid and decidedly un-hip, this sometimes leads to somewhat odd dichotomies. Like Rob Zombie living in Woodbury … [Read more...]

Let's Generate some Buz For This Museum Woodbury (Google Maps Location) July 24, 2009 I always feel cheap when the title pun is so easy. Oh well, I'll get over it.
