BOZRAH! I Love Bozrah BOZRAH! Ever-lovin' Bozrah. My nemesis and my muse. The butt of my jokes for decades. Bozrah. I love Bozrah. And I will always love Bozrah. Boz. Rah. Rah-Rah, Boz! When you parse the name, it sounds darn exciting! I envision the 'z' being a lightning bolt. BOZRAH! When I began … [Read more...]

Bailey’s Ravine Falls
AYYYYYYYYYYYYYY(ers) Bailey's Ravine/Ayers Gap Falls, Franklin September 2018 There are, quite literally, still thousands of things for me to do in Connecticut. Many of those things are not exciting. Many are. Very few land on the mythical list of “stuff Steve thinks Steve really should have seen by now.” This is … [Read more...]
CTMQ’s Guide to Sherman
Everything Sherman 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” Sherman CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. If … [Read more...]
Mile of Ledges
Miles of Smiles Mile of Ledges, Burlington September 29, 2018 It is quite rare for me to revisit something for this site. With so much still to do, it simply doesn’t make logistical sense to spend an afternoon retracing steps or re-experiencing a museum. But sometimes it’s the right and best thing to do. Such was … [Read more...]

Labyrinth Brewing Company (Closed)
Can't Pan This Place Labyrinth Brewing Company, Manchester September 2018 Labyrinth closed in July 2024. I know that the people who read the brewery/beer stuff don't often give a hoot about the other stuff CTMQ is all about. You know, like... literally everything else. Anyway, after ten years of writing CTMQ, I … [Read more...]
Bear Hill WMA
I Can Bearly Stand It Bear Hill Wildlife Management Area, Bozrah September 2018 This page will be (rightfully) lost to history, but for the sake of it... I "completed" Bozrah at Bear Hill WMA. Yes, my favorite town to pick on, Bozrah. The town I've come to love over the last twelve years of writing CTMQ. Good ol' … [Read more...]
Tolland Military Museum
War! Huh! What is it Good For? (Museums) Tolland Google Maps location July 15, 2018 Admission time: When it became apparent to me in late spring/early summer of 2018 that I could make it to 400 Connecticut museums, I made sure I made it to 400 museums. One trick to getting there is to go to places like Tolland … [Read more...]
Belden Forest
Run/Forest/Run Belden Forest, Simsbury May 22, 2015 The Belden Forest tract on its own really isn't all that interesting. That's not to say it's not nice; for it is. Simsbury, which has tons a cool hiking areas, doesn't do much to promote them. (This is why, I suppose, the Simsbury Land Trust has picked up … [Read more...]
Parable Brewing Company (Closed)
Every Brewery Has a Story Parable Brewing Company, Manchester July 2018 Parable closed in April 2019 after a weird, confusing, and protracted situation with the landlord of their building. Parable's owner or owners, who never changed the LLC's name from Top Shelf - because he was a part-owner of Top Shelf - … [Read more...]
