"AUER!" Auerf Arm Bloomfield At the time of this writing, I've been publishing stuff on CTMQ for almost 15 years. Pretty impressive if I say so myself.

Auer Farm
All Things Auer Farm Bloomfield Auer Farm is referred to as "Auerfarm" just as often as "Auer Farm". I don't know which is more correct, so you'll see it both ways on the various pages I've written about various aspects of the park and farm. And oh, there are several pages - enough to warrant this page. If … [Read more...]
Auer Farm Trails
An Auer of Chaos Auer Farm, Bloomfield December 2020 All Things Auer Farm, which is also called Auerfarm. This page is a bit silly. Not that Auer Farm is silly - it's not.

Bloomfield: Complete! Ginza & Naatiya Here is my list of everything I've done in Bloomfield! I’m very excited to write this page.

Bloomfield Spite Barn (Gone)

I realize mid-century design isn’t for everyone, but I … [Read more...]

Farmington River Park
Roots Rock Farmington River Park, Bloomfield & Windsor May 2020 I've written several times about the pockets of Bloomfield over on the western edge along the Metacomet Ridge. And for good reason!

M.K. Wilcox Park
No Dumping M.K. Wilcox Park, Bloomfield June 2020 I imagine hundreds, if not thousands, of people hike through MK Wilcox Park in Bloomfield every year and don't even know it. There they are, hiking north through Penwood State Park, taking in the panoramic views west and checking off abandoned chimneys along the … [Read more...]
