The Virginia coast is filled with delightful treasures: gorgeous shorelines, unexpected natural wonders, and some of the friendliest communities in the state.

With its colorful buildings, fascinating history, and delightful natural wonders, this small town represents so much of why we love this region of Virginia....

It’s a marathon, not a sprint, after all....

When you think of a snowglobe, what comes to mind? It’s probably something like an idyllic miniature winter scene, frozen forever in time as an idealized snapshot of what Anytown, USA, ought to be like during the coldest months. Well, would you believe it if we told you that North Dakota is home to some towns that are, quite possibly, right out of a snow globe scene? It’s true!

It’s the perfect time of year to get off the couch and explore Rhode Island, and the best way to truly appreciate the beauty of Little Rhody is on a hiking trail. We seriously hope you hike more than five trails…but here are some of the best hikes in Rhode Island. 1. Trustom Pond National Wildlife Refuge Trail Elise K./Yelp You won’t believe the views you’ll find at this pretty wildlife refuge, which offers three trails....
Eliot Ness is a famous (or, some would argue, infamous) Cleveland resident. While this Prohibition agent is often pointed to as the individual that took down Chicago crime boss Al Capone, he also enjoyed a career in Cleveland as the Director for Public Safety. Amazingly, some believe that Scarface himself might have enjoyed a career here in The Land. Capone in Cleveland?! That has to be a myth… right? Well, maybe....
What makes for great barbecue? Is it the rub that’s used, the sauce, the way it’s smoked, the way the meat falls off the bone and practically melts in your mouth? Perhaps it’s all of the above. If there’s one place that does barbecue right, it’s Lem’s Bar-B-Q House, an eatery that’s been around for over 65 years and offers some of the best bbq in Illinois. It all began in 1954 when brothers Bruce and Myles Lemon took their dream of opening a business and combined it with a love of barbecue....
As one of the original 13 colonies, there’s a lot of history in Connecticut. We’ve got charming downtown areas steeped in the grandeur of age. There are plenty of Revolutionary War and colonial era homes and museums. Most of our early towns have at least one building that is several hundred years old. But when it comes to age, there’s one town that tops all the rest. Windsor was first settled by Europeans in 1633, making it the oldest city in Connecticut and one of the oldest towns in America....
In a place as big as Northern California, it’s easy for some great places to fall through the cracks. After all, we’ve got nationally-renowned destinations like San Francisco and Yosemite National Park, so it can be tough for other places to get much attention, even if they are fantastic getaways. Next time you’re looking for a day trip in Northern California, skip the obvious spots and head to Petaluma. Conveniently located about an hour outside of San Francisco, it’s got a population of around 60,000, so it’s big enough to have plenty of amenities, but not so large as to be a sprawling tourist destination....
It’s probably fair to say that we all crave a bit of the good old days every now and then. (When the good old days are, however, usually depends on our age.) For a taste of yesteryear, you can never go wrong with a trip to an old-fashioned drive-in restaurant. Feel as though you’ve been whisked back in time, for example, when you visit Richwine’s Burgerville in Montana. Polson locals know just how good Richwine’s Burgerville is and has been since it opened in 1962....
Like much of New England, Connecticut has a tendency to get a bad rap as an isolated place that lacks outside influence. But we’ve actually got quite a few great ethnic restaurants in Connecticut. While many people are familiar with our great Mexican restaurants or excellent Italian eateries, we’ve got even more exotic selections than that! Valencia Luncheria is quite the exciting place. Here, you can get Venezuelan-inspired dishes for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner....

There’s an unwritten rule in dining that the most assuming restaurants serve the very best food. We’re talking about the hole-in-the-wall kind of establishments that you could easily drive right by. Take Clancy’s Hamburgers in Sidney, Ohio, for instance. This roadside hamburger hut in Ohio is the kind of place you might pass by a thousand times without noticing; it’s humble and unassuming, and really doesn’t stand out. But inside? Big, bold, burgers await… we’re talking total hamburger heaven!...

Amusement parks come and amusement parks go. Over the years, Georgia has seen its fair share of failed amusement parks. For instance, does anyone remember Starcadia in Macon? But there is one amusement park in Atlanta that was intended to be HUGE and in some ways even rival Disney World. This entirely indoor amusement park was intended to become a major Georgia attraction but only lasted a short while. Raise your hand if you remember The World of Sid and Marty Krofft....
