Brunswick Stew Monument in Brunswick, Georgia

September 24, 2021

This tomato-based Southern dish was originally made up of squirrel, rabbit and opossum as the base proteins in the past. These days, the meat is usually pork or chicken, cooked along with beans and other local vegetables. A large pot on a pedestal in Mary Ross Park in downtown Brunswick, Georgia is engraved with a...

Virginia Woolf and the Complexities of Cottage...

September 24, 2021

What we most often remember from Virginia Woolf’s 1929 essay A Room of One’s Own are her thoughts on real estate: “A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.” Yet Woolf also recommends something that’s less commonly cited, but no less important—a good meal. She writes, “One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.” As a member of the modernist Bloomsbury Group—a collection of...

Teal McDonald's Arches in Sedona, Arizona

September 24, 2021

If you think the Golden Arches were an immutable part of the McDonald’s legacy, you’d be wrong. In 1993, the city of Sedona allowed McDonald’s to open in their town under one condition: They change the color of their logo. In order to preserve the natural beauty of the red rocks in the area and keep the overall aesthetic of the town (because that’s something people thought about in the ’90s), local officials required that McDonald’s change their famous...

September 24, 2021

Don Beyer began working at his father’s Volvo dealership after graduating college, before eventually teaming up with his brother Michael to take over the family business.

Could Hong Kong's Fugitive Cockatoos Save the...

September 24, 2021

One afternoon in late August, a thunderstorm passed over Hong Kong Park, the 20-acre green in the middle of the city’s financial district. Rain drenched the leaves of the camphor and cotton trees, and every boom of thunder sent flocks of screeching white birds out of the canopy and into the air. The birds, a two-dozen strong flock of yellow-crested cockatoos, circled in the sky, their bodies bright white against the glossy black windows of the international bank towers....

Goldsmith's Garden in London, England

September 24, 2021

The area in and around St Paul’s Chapel is dotted with several small public parks. Many of these idyllic locations are the result of either the Great Fire of 1666 or the Blitz of World War II.

The Ancient People Who Burned Their Culture...

September 23, 2021

Smoke billows skyward, partially obscuring a monumental, two-story hall. The smell of roasting meat is thick in the night air, still oppressively hot though the sun has set on this arid valley in what is now southwestern Spain. Inside the hall, hundreds of people gather around a long wooden table set with fine ceramics and bronze challices. They feast, and drink rivers of wine as the night deepens. A few feet outside the banquet hall, down a massive staircase,...

Spar Cave in Elgol, Scotland

September 23, 2021

Located on the Isle of Skye, Spar Cave is only accessible for an hour on either side of low tide, but for those prepared to brave the wet and brief clamber over the rocks, hides a beautiful cavern and a place steeped in local legend and literary history. Reaching the cave is no easy task. Visitors must traverse a canyon that drives some 200 feet inland, where walls of rock rise at least 100 feet tall on either side. The...
