UConn Dairy Bar
I Dream of Jonathan. There. I Said It. UConn Dairy Bar, Mansfield May 24, 2009 & Other Visits CTMQ is far too big and often unwieldy.

Gettin' Nasty West Hartford (Google Maps Location) March 11, 2009 Update: This is now the "Art Gallery at the University of St. Joseph" as the school stepped it up a bit in 2012.

UConn Greenhouses
Biology: The Study of Life... And What is More Important Than LIFE?! UConn Storrs (Google Maps Location) February 25, 2009 Ahhhh, home.
