McDonald’s Quarter Pounder Monument in Rapid...

December 13, 2021

In February 2020, the fast food chain McDonalds installed a massive 23,000-pound sculpture of a Quarter Pounder burger at a store location in Rapid City, South Dakota. This event was held to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Quarter Pounder. McDonalds corporate chose this particular location, they claim, because Rapid City residents consume the most Quarter Pounders with Cheese in the nation. At nine feet tall and is eight feet wide, the bronze burger and its pedestal weigh a...

Grave of Sandra West and Her Ferrari...

December 13, 2021

The crane operators were careful not to mow over the existing graves as they maneuvered the 17-foot long, gray wooden box toward the 19-foot hole in middle of the Alamo Masonic Cemetery. Inside the box lay the perfectly manicured corpse of the 38-year-old socialite and heiress, Sandra West. Mrs. West was positioned as if reclining in the driver’s seat of her beloved 1964 powder-blue Ferrari 300 America. In accordance with her will, she was dressed in her favorite white...

Wedge Overlook in Castle Dale, Utah

December 13, 2021

The San Rafael Swell is a broad geologic uplift in central Utah that hosts some of the scenic sandstone country for which Utah is famous. Although crossed by Interstate 70, the area is rugged and access to much of it remains difficult because of primitive or nonexistent roads. Of course, the limited access also cuts down on the crowds. In particular, the northern part of the Swell is dominated by the Little Grand Canyon of the San Rafael River...

Albany Rural Cemetery in Menands, New York

December 13, 2021

Incorporated in 1841 and consecrated in 1844, the Albany Rural Cemetery was founded as a response to the deteriorating condition of old city burying grounds. The grounds of the new Cemetery were laid out by Major David Bates Douglass, the landscape engineer who had previously designed Green-Wood Cemetery in Brooklyn. Miles of carriage roads and paths wound through hills, glades, woods, and ravines giving visitors a chance to admire the scenery and potential plots to purchase. The first burials...

Ayres of Swinister in Shetland Islands, Scotland

December 13, 2021

The tombolo is an uncommon natural feature where a sandbar connects two separate landforms over water. In the Shetland Islands, tombolos are among the best-known natural attractions, especially since, as in the case of St Ninian’s Beach, they often feature powdery, light-colored sand and turquoise waters, making them look as though they are two tropical beaches stuck back-to-back. The tombolo-like formations in Swinister may not be Caribbean-like, but they make up for it in quantity. The word ayres is...

Kingsley Schoolhouse in Clarksburg, Maryland

December 13, 2021

Kingsley Schoolhouse was built in 1893 to educate students living on local farms of Little Bennett Creek Valley. The school served approximately more than a dozen children. As was the custom in most schoolhouses around that time, students were summoned to school using a bell. The classroom was heated using a wood-burning stove, and students were taught standard subjects such as arithmetic, reading, and writing. A playground with swings and seesaws once stood behind the building but is no...

Kungens Kurva Shoppingcenter (King's Bend Mall) in...

December 13, 2021

It is not unusual for people to commemorate visits of royals by placing plaques, statues, or even naming areas after them. In the Skärholmen area, this has been taken to an extreme, as the entire industrial terrain has been named after the former king’s traffic accident. The accident in question happened on the 28th of September 1946, while King Gustav V and his entourage were on their way home from a day’s hunting at Tullgarn Castle. The road in question...

How to Make Nobel Ice Cream, the...

December 10, 2021

At the greatest dinner party on earth, one thing is always on the menu: fireworks, with a side of dessert. At the end of every Nobel banquet, held yearly on December 10, servers descend a grand staircase in Stockholm’s City Hall bearing platters of sweets, surrounded by spitting sparklers. It’s an appropriately grand finale for an event celebrating groundbreaking scientists, artists, and peacemakers. Perhaps it’s also a tongue-in-cheek reference to the person who paid for the festivities. It’s suspected...
