During the spring and summer months, once a month, the Vietnamese night market springs into life…read more Local aunties and uncles toil away in makeshift kitchens to bring a taste of their home to the community. Pho, bahn mi, and milk tea are the tip of the iceberg of what's offered here. There's a plethora of delicious food options, loads of vendors and lots of people. They got a band playing in the main thoroughfare and karaoke towards the tail end of the night. We tried a smattering of dishes, ranging from mini shrimp pancakes, scallop noodles served in the shell, Takoyaki and meat skewers, grass jelly and lotus sticky rice. Each one very fresh, lots of flavor and a good price for the portion. The only dilemma being parking and the crowds. It's gotten very popular as of late, so if you don't go early they can run out of food. During our brief stint, they were out of sesame balls and onigiri, with lots of places running low on supplies. It's a fun experience and worth a try if you manage to get a chance to come there. It's a great community deserving of the popularity and it's a great fundraiser for the local church. Go in with an open mind and enjoy the adventure!

So much fun! I went with a group of friends who had been before and was glad I did. We arrived over…read morean hour before opening and the lines were already starting to grow. I tried a little bit of everything and took some food home for tomorrow! I will definitely be back next year as everything I ate was delicious and I ate until I was stuffed. The music was hopping, the vendors were friendly and quick considering the crowd (which was insane by the time we left two hours later) and the food was reasonably priced.

I love this fair. One of my favorites in all of New England. Probably the most "country" one I've…read morebeen to. Great vendors from food to shopping. Always a nice rides set up and for $5 I can't ever pass up the mechanical bull LOL. The main stage is legit for seeing a concert, very impressive for a county fair in the middle of nowhere Connecticut. Plenty of parking, always feels safe leaving your car for the day. Plenty of attendants out in the lots.

No demonstrations, limited vendor - most of which are home improvement or kids junk toys. Food choices are good. All in all, a complete disappointment. And is it necessary to add $1.95 for tickets purchased by credit card. Bit ridiculous. We were there less than 2 hours, whereas years past we were there 1/2 a day or more. Drive 1.5 hours to attend and after today, will not be back.

Spotty is a painted dog on the side of Route 165. If you don't know it's there, it's tempting (and…read moreworth it) to turn around after doing a double take. The road is pretty quiet but with a higher speed limit. Spotty was originally painted in 1935 by Stanley Zigtorac.

The oldest of…read morethe old King Philip's War was a nasty affair with atrocities and lots of horrible things occurring on both the Native American and English sides. Towns were burned and people murdered. No quarter was asked and none was given. One particularly brutal incident was called Nine Men's Misery. It started on March 20, 1676, when Capt Piece of the colonists let a group of troops after what was left of the Narragansett Tribe. The troops got a bit too over confident and walked right into an ambush and were slaughtered by the Narragansetts. Virtually all of the troops were killed but nine managed to survive the battle and were captured, tortured and then killed. Not exactly unexpected considering what the English were doing to the Narragansetts. Most of their villages were burned and the women and children executed . When other English troops found the bodies of the dead captives. they immediately buried the bodies and put up a monument site of rocks over the graves so the memory of the incident would never be forgotten. The pile of rocks have been tended to ever since and is now considered the oldest veterans memorial in the country. It's not exactly an exciting or aesthetically stunning memorial but it an extremely spooky and fascinating place to hike out and actually find. The area has lots of cool hiking trails besides the one leading to the memorial but the bugs are incredibly bad in these woods. Lovely stone walls and beautiful trees, this would probably be a great place for a winter or fall hike. A thoughtful place to reflect and remember what it was like back then during these horrible wars. Right and wrong, good and evil are just words. Pain, death and suffering was the reality.

This place holds a special place in my heart. My father and I used to walk here when I was young.read more

If we could give this 6 stars we would! This is the best drive thru lights display around. We were…read moresorely disappointed by another display in E Hartford so we went in with low expectations but boy were we wrong! Staff was so friendly. Displays were beautiful! They had tribute displays, character displays, and awesome music on their radio station. Lights were perfectly synced with the music which you don't find a lot! We will be making our trip here an annual occurrence. Thank you so much!

So why review it? It's a breathing, functional, permanent art exhibit. An architectural and design wonder. A cutting edge example of urban revitalization and green design. And it's right here in Providence, RI. In addition to using recycled steel from the shipping containers, the design incorporates energy recovery ventilation, storm runoff reduction, and light fixtures sensing daylight - encouraging 25% less energy than most office buildings. Current tenants include social enterprises like Maternova, nonprofits like Social Venture Partners RI and the Green and Healthy Homes Initiative, design firms like Morris Beach Design and Kelly Taylor Interior Design, and a handful of other local businesses, including the 3 collaborators who made this architectural experiment possible: distill studio, Stack Design Build, and truth box inc.

The saplings have since grown and now stand in excess of 60' tall, having endured more than time and inclement weather since their planting. . . an aged woodsman hath told me this forests' size once doubled the earth it now stands on, that half the acreage was destroyed by the encroaching expansion of the F0rest Lab0rat0ries, to the South. There are many contemporary theories of the ultimate purpose of these trees, from being planted either to measure time, for use in pagan rituals, or for a decorative demonstration of a Neoclassical ideal: Mans' attempt to control Nature. Here they stand, still awaiting a greater call. The forest can be seen from passing traffic on Commack Road, where its unusual gridlines create a notable strobing effect as you drive past, though the forest is best viewed and experienced from beneath. The Mysterious Forest is on private property beyond a fence & security gate. It is not open to the public.
