Aiea Cemetery in Aiea, Hawaii

March 14, 2022

Hidden between freeways lies the Aiea Cemetery, also known as the Aiea Plantation Cemetery. Crumbling cement crosses and gravemarkers out of wood and steel decorate the cemetery. Typical Japanese gravestones and Western-style gravestones are also present, this makes the cemetery a unique collection of funerary art. Standing on this little field, surrounded by so much concrete, makes this place seem unreal. The graveyard was once around two acres, but the military took over the makai section during World War...

The ruins were once a three-story, water-powered corn mill built deep within Mulgrave Woods dating—as per an inscription in stone—to 1809. The...

Biltmore McDonald's in Asheville, North Carolina

The estate is open to the public, drawing in nearly two million tourists annually who wish to take in its bewildering scale (and secrets).

Remembering America's Forgotten 'Fish Evangelist'

March 11, 2022

The posters were ubiquitous, tacked up in break rooms and taped behind windows, printed in magazines, and painted on the sides of buildings. “Food Will Win the War!” and “Food is Ammunition!” they declared. “Save wheat, meat, fats, and sugars—and serve the cause of freedom!” During World War I, the United States Food Administration used these provocative slogans to convince Americans to conserve food for soldiers fighting on the front lines. And while the agency itself was abolished after...
