Weird Activities and Awkward Encounters at home and abroad
Apparently there was a time in America when punishment for your crimes was that you get to go live in a castle for a bit. Of course it was not all that glamorous, but the exterior of the Eastern State Penitentiary is stunning. Eastern State created the penitentiary system in which inmates were kept in…
Someone once told me to, “Plan enough to cover your ass, but leave room for Serendipity.” I wish I knew who to attribute that quote too, it’s just something that’s been buzzing around in my brain for a while and obviously speaks to me. As a terrible planner, the latter part of that comes a…
To say Philadelphia is serious about the Philly Cheesesteak is putting it lightly. Everyone has their favorite spot and there are literally hundreds to choose from. I chose Pat’s and Geno’s for comparison since Pat’s is the originator of the Philly Cheesesteak and Geno’s is right across the street, making it the city’s longest standing…
There has been much buzz about Philadelphia since the City of Brotherly Love was named a UNESCO World Heritage City late last year. Travelers have always visited Philly for a variety of reasons; history, sports, food (cheesesteak anyone?), but their new title as a World Heritage City is kind of a big deal. In fact,…
I was recently asked to review the ZUS by Nonda, and I must admit I was skeptical. Let me assure you this is much more than “just a phone charger.” Though, as a phone charger it’s nothing to scoff at. There are 2 USB ports, so you can charge 2 devices at a time. If…

It’s extraordinarily difficult to get to. Of course if money is no object, you can get just about anywhere, but it’s the kind of difficult you don’t…

Sometimes it is fun to come back to childhood just for a little bit and enjoy yourself, am I right? British people know that, and therefore, they managed to build and develop these five attractions, which will help you get in touch with the little you inside. Excited? I bet so! Legoland, Windsor Not that…
If you read my last post about the movie industry in Shreveport, Louisiana, then you already know that many Hollywood big wigs have been coming to Shreveport to film since Hurricane Katrina. (If you aren’t familiar with my last post, you can get up to speed here. Go ahead, I’ll wait) While bringing in film…
