November 8, 2021

The image would look right at home on Instagram: a group of seemingly carefree young men in uniform flirting with two fashionable women on a sunny summer day on New York’s Brighton Beach.

Ruins of Clopper Mill in Germantown, Maryland

November 8, 2021

In 1865 a group of conspirators set out to kill the president and vice president of the United States. The president, Abraham Lincoln, was killed by John Wilkes Booth, but one of Wilkes Booth’s co-conspirators, George Atzerodt, failed to kill vice president Andrew Johnson.

St Hilary's Chapel in Denbigh, Wales

November 8, 2021

St. Hilary’s Chapel was built in the early 14th-century as the garrison chapel for nearby Denbigh Castle. The official parish church was actually St. Marcella’s, but St. Hilary’s was closer to the center of the town and eventually took over many of the functions of a parish church.

November 5, 2021

Nara has nothing delicious to eat. At least, this is what novelist Naoya Shiga wrote in a 1938 essay about Nara prefecture, which he called home for 13 years. Although he then qualified this statement with some faint praise for his local tofu shop, readers latched on to the damning line, and Nara has since been burdened with a less-than-flattering culinary reputation, even among the locals. To visitors, Nara is famous for the deer that roam its capital city,...
