Visit the Mark Twain House in Hartford, Connecticut
Maybe it’s the romantic idealist in me, but I always like to imagine Mark Twain lounging on a rickety steamboat somewhere along the Mississippi. Peppery white hair frizzing every which way. Pipe hung low from his lips. Scrawling out the last few lines of Huck Finn.
Truth is, Twain was a thousand miles away from the [...]
Mystic Seaport – Must-See Museums in Connecticut
I’ve never lived in New England, and I’ve never lived near the ocean. I’ve never, in fact, lived near much water of any kind. So I can hardly say why I find the sight of a wintry New England harbor so alluring. The ghostly silhouette of docked sailing ships in the fog, the peacefulness of [...]
Autumn Hartford Antiques Show – October 31-November 1
We’re taking a quick break from the Halloween season. Around the office people are salivating for something new. And by something new, I mean something old.

So go ahead, give in to guilty temptation, get some use out of that “Adam Lambert 4 Life” tattoo, and get your tickets to American Idol Live.
Old State House in Hartford, Connecticut
Here’s a weird one for you, and it’s not often I can say that and proceed to talk about a state history museum. Indeed, the Old State House in Hartford, Connecticut is everything you’d expect, but then again, it’s something else entirely.
More or less two museums in one, the Old State House is firstly a [...]
Gathering of the Vibes 2009 – Music Festival in Bridgeport, CT
As my wife would say, it’s time to chillax. Dig out your tie die, throw a couple braids in your hair and prepare for a music festival that’s all about community spirit and old-school charm: Gathering of the Vibes in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
Gathering of the Vibes comes from a very specific place, but the appeal of [...]
