A True Bantamweight Bantam Cinema, Litchfield October 2015 Sorry so many of my pictures are so terribly out of focus. At some point in the life of CTMQ I decided to visit and document Connecticut's small, independent, historic theaters, as they are a dying business unfortunately. (As well as visit and document … [Read more...]
Grace Episcopal Church
A Couple of Ding-Dongs Grace Episcopal Church, Windsor October 2015 Are there (likely) dozens of churches around the state that deserve a page on CTMQ as much as this one... that won't ever appear on CTMQ? Sure. Does that bother me? Not at all. Am I sitting here staring at a blank page wondering why I took … [Read more...]
Beetlejuice (1988)
Third Times a Charm Beetlejuice (1988) Arguably the most well-known and certainly one of the most watched Connecticut movies. Oh? Did you forget Beetlejuice takes place entirely in the fictitious quaint little village of Winter River, Connecticut? You shouldn't have forgotten, especially if you're a resident … [Read more...]
The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia (2013)
A Connecticut Yankee in Hee Haw's Barnyard The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia (2013) I can't think of too many movies where you absolutely know going in, based on the title alone, you will hate yourself for watching it. Such was the case with The Haunting in Connecticut 2: Ghosts of Georgia. Not only … [Read more...]
Mill Brook Open Space
Fore Score Mill Brook Open Space, Windsor October 2021 You'd think there would be more abandoned golf courses turned into reclaimed open space for passive recreation around Connecticut. I'm sure there are a few more than I'm aware of at the moment, but I can only think of Pistol Creek in Berlin and this one, in … [Read more...]
The Other (1972)
The Twinning The Other, 1972 I simply cannot read every "Connecticut book," nor do I want to. However, I certainly plan on reading one or two of Thomas Tryon's novels. The son of Arthur Lane Tryon, owner of Stackpole, Moore & Tryon in Hartford, Tryon grew up in Connecticut and went on to be a moderately successful … [Read more...]
Simon Lake’s Explorer
Simon Lake?! It was Destiny Simon Lakes's Explorer Monument, Milford Simon Lake was one of the most prolific and important submarine designers in American history. And his last name was Lake. Some people are just predestined for certain things I guess. Simon Lake also lived in Milford from 1907 until his death in … [Read more...]
Connecticut Children’s Museum
Goodnight, Moon. Goodnight, Fun. New Haven (Google Maps location) October 3, 2015 I don't know what's going on at this place. No, I don't mean I don't know what's going on with it at the time you're reading this, although it appears to have closed for the pandemic, which has no end, so I don't know if and … [Read more...]
CT Roadside Sign Gallery
Signs, Signs, Everywhere is signs Connecticut Roadside Sign Gallery I'm not sure how far I'll take this page, especially seeing as I didn't begin it until late 2021. That's 15 years of passing by dopey signs and not thinking to capture them for posterity. Note: I certainly have been capturing all the ET Progressive … [Read more...]
Rosabianca Vineyards
Rosa? and Bianca? Rosabianca Vineyards, North Branford October 2015 I have written far too many times about certain pockets of Connecticut that insist on referring to their locale as the pocket and not the larger town. Rockville, Weatogue, Noank, and Northford spring to mind. Northford is particularly galling if … [Read more...]
