Florida Attractions – Kennedy Space Center
In Cocoa Beach, Florida and surrounding areas, they have what you might call “Space Fever”. There’s Astronaut High School in Titusville, Challenger 7 Elementary School in Port St. John, Enterprise Elementary School in Cocoa, NASA Boulevard in Melbourne and Jupiter Elementary in Palm Bay, just to name a few examples. Local residents even petitioned, successfully, [...]
Outdoor Adventure – Piestewa Peak in Phoenix, Arizona
In how many places can you climb a mountain without leaving the city limits? And don’t start ringing off a bunch of towns already in the mountains. That’s cheating.
On the other hand, if you said “Phoenix, Arizona” you’d be right on the money! That’s because this vibrant Sonoran Desert city is home to Piestewa Peak [...]
Support Green Hotels – Crowne Plaza Englewood Hotel
How do you know a guy from New Jersey has gone green?
He hides dead bodies in the trunk of a Prius. Oh!
(Forgive me)
In all seriousness though, there is a fine bunch of Jerseyites that actually have gone green over at the Crowne Plaza Englewood Hotel in Englewood, New Jersey, and since we’ve mentioned this place [...]
Miss Hampton II Harbor Cruises – Hampton, Virginia
I know we’ve said it before, but the Chesapeake Bay region of Virginia is really a great place for some outdoor fun. This makes walking tours, especially in historic locales like Hampton, Virginia a great idea, and it makes harbor tours an even better one. Learn the history of one of the east coast’s most [...]
Paw Jam 2009 – Pet-Friendly Event in North Carolina
I’m like the hunchback of the office. While everyone else is doing real work, I’m indulging myself in stories about ghosts, gambling and Wrestlemania. They want to do a piece about Easter; I want to do a piece about peanut butter sandwiches. They want to do a piece about flowers; I want to link to [...]
Eat Up! – Union Oyster House in Boston, Massachusetts
The Boston dining scene resembles that of San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Las Vegas, which is to say, it’s as exciting as the city itself. From succulent, salty oysters to New England clam chowder to the trademark baked beans, Boston is a town that does its own food its own way, and [...]
South Florida Entertainment – Dania Jai-Alai
I have all the reflexes of a comatose manatee, so a sport where a small, hard rubber ball can attain speeds of 180 miles per hour really isn’t the sport for me, at least as participation goes (reminds me of my ill-fated paintball career). There’s still a place for me though, because at Dania Jai-Alai [...]
Top American Zoos – The Phoenix Zoo
In the wake of our notorious article, “The Top 10 Zoos in America“, we more or less let our individual zoo articles fall by the wayside. But no more! We’re coming back strong with our choice as the #4 zoo in America: The Phoenix Zoo.
You might not place your finger on it immediately, but you’ll [...]
Union Street Spring Celebration & Easter Parade – San Francisco, CA
I know Easter isn’t the “traveliest” of holidays, but that doesn’t stop cities and towns all over the country from throwing kickin’ festivals and parties to celebrate it. Some of these festivals really bear mention, in fact.
If you’re in California’s bay area next weekend, for instance, consider dropping in to the 18th Annual Union Street [...]
The 2009 Austin Wine Festival – May 23 – 25
