This is a classic looking firehouse.  They don't build them like this anymore.

Barber Shop

Middletown, CT  2017

There's not doubting that this place is a barbershop.  It's probably the most colorful barbershop I've seen recently.

Clyde's Cider Mill

Mystic, CT  2017

This is a must see place during the fall if you're ever in south east Connecticut.  Clyde's uses an antique, steam powered cider press to make their apple cider.  They offer both sweet cider and a collection of "hard" ciders, or apple wines along with cider donuts, pies, breads, kettle corn, apples and other tastes of the autumn season.  It is a very busy place on weekends

Voodoo Grill

Mystic, CT  2017

This business fell on hard times.  It was once a pretty popular restaurant in Mystic.

Barley Head Brewery

Mystic, CT  2017

In the last ten years or so there has been an huge increase in the number of craft breweries that have opened in Connecticut.  This particular one opened this past July in Mystic and characterizes itself as a true neighborhood brewery.  I met the owner, brewer and chief janitor during my recent visit and sampled the brews on tap.  Being a "nano" brewery, which produces much less beer than a typical "micro" brewery, you can only buy the beer here, not in bars, restaurants or package stores.  He brews in 50 gallon batches, and even uses his own home grown hops in some of his beers.
