No One Cares About the Gold Coast Anyway Traveler's Guide to Western New England and the CT River Valley Tim Mulligan, 1994 This review completely ignores the non-Connecticut portion of the book. It is absurd to review a travel guide from 1994 for all the obvious reasons. This book was published just before … [Read more...]

CTMQ’s Guide to Newington
Everything Newington 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” Newington CTMQ-style... as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. That is the ultimate goal of CTMQ. If … [Read more...]

The Women (2008)
Nope The Women, 2008 When I began formalizing my list of Connecticut movies, I had to leave off a ton of pre-1950 or so options - simply because there's no way I can find them to watch. You'd probably be surprised at how many old movies take place in Connecticut. The Women is a poorly conceived 2008 remake … [Read more...]
High Nine Brewing
High Nine at High Noon High Nine Brewing, Deep River January 2020 “You must be high.” Why? “Because you continue to go to every podunk hole-in-the-wall corrugated steel box brewery with sloppily hung signage in Connecticut, even though every one of them is sort of the same place now, just in different … [Read more...]
The Quiet (2005)
Shhhhh The Quiet, 2005 You’ve likely never seen The Quiet, nor have you likely even heard of it. It did have a national theater release and it wasn’t universally panned, but The Quiet was just a quiet little movie.

Ewen Farm Preserve
Ewww-in Orange Ewen Farm Preserve, Orange January 2020 Our first foray into the wilds of Orange was at the Ewen Farm Preserve, a small parcel of land wedged between a brand new suburban development and an old farm. It typifies what the Orange of today is; a rural farm community that is adding housing as I write. … [Read more...]
266. Tourtellotte Memorial Room Museum
Nice $&^$! Museum... #$&$! Thompson (Google Maps location) May 28, 2014 I apologize for my crude title, but it's just very hard for me to say "Tourtellote" without thinking of Tourettes Syndrome. As a parent of a special needs child with very different, but similarly debilitating behaviors, I'm not making fun of … [Read more...]
