A Long Walk... Rising Star, 2013 This movie is no longer available on YouTube. You lose. Rising Star is not a good movie. And yet... And yet it is the exact type of movie for which I created my massive "Connecticut Movies" list. Therefore, I love it. I love its earnestness and its commitment to Hartford. And … [Read more...]
CTMQ’s Guide to Prospect
Everything Prospect I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state. I plan on “completing” Prospect CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. If … [Read more...]
Prospect Land Trust Intro
Prospect Land Trust Prospect When I think of Prospect, I think of the caricature old toothless 49'er prospector. And that was before my friend Matt, who lives in Prospect, told me that whenever he tells people he lives in town he does the toothless arm jive we associate with such caricatures.

Prospect’s Town Trails
Prospect's Town Trails I'm sorry you've somehow found yourself on this page, for there are no Prospect-owned properties with trails as far as I know. If I'm wrong, please contact me or comment below.

Bates Nature Trail at Herrick Park
Mastering Bates Herrick Park, Bolton April 2020 I keep an ongoing list of CTMQ stuff for each town that none of you can see. On Bolton's list, I had something like, "a trail at Herrick park." Then when I put the Bolton Town Guide together, I searched the internet high and low for confirmation that there was a … [Read more...]
BLT: Blackledge Marsh
Cul-de-Quick Blackledge Marsh, Bolton April 2020 When I decide to "attack" a town's trail system, I make a little game out of it. Look at the list of trails, sort out where they are and how many I can do in one trip, and make a plan. However, when I have Calvin with me, I must sometimes change things on the … [Read more...]
Keney Memorial Clock Tower
Keney Memorial Clock Tower Hartford 130 feet tall It is the rare list on CTMQ that I know I'll never "complete" in a way that feels complete. My list of towers, lookouts, and observation decks is one such list. Simply put, there are a lot of these things that are inaccessible. Which is a bummer. I have … [Read more...]

Hartford’s Flatiron Building
"I'm Still Standing..." Hartford's Flatiron Building 529-543 Ann Uccello Street There's really nothing very interesting about this building at all. Just being honest. But in my endless travels around Connecticut, I haven't seen too many true flatiron buildings. There are a bunch that wear the flatiron title, but … [Read more...]
