A Few Thoughts on Your Hotel’s Distribution...

September 9, 2021

When engaging with online travel agencies (OTAs) in these volatile times, hoteliers must adequately understand the value and costs of all distribution channels. Any relationship weighted in favour of an OTA to the detriment of a hotel’s bottom line needs to be reviewed, and steps should be taken to maximise direct bookings.

'Little Canada' in Toronto, Ontario

September 9, 2021

Hidden underground at Dundas Square in Toronto is Little Canada, a miniature representation of Canadian landmarks, all presented with a whimsical sense of humor. Not only are the scenes beautifully rendered the details are incredible with each one-inch figurine uniquely made. Look out for the snowmobiler who stopped too suddenly in Quebec City, the building debris that landed on top of a car (with the one-inch tall owner holding his head and dismay), and the three cyclists who are the...

With Venezuela in Crisis, This Restaurant Offers...

September 9, 2021

It’s been nearly six years since Alma Cocina Latina first opened its doors in Baltimore, Maryland. The Venzulean hotspot draws customers with plates of pescado frito (fried fish) and pork-filled arepas. But it’s what co-owner Irena Stein is doing in the restaurant’s back of the house that’s truly impressive. Since 2015, Stein has brought over four (soon to be five) chefs through the U.S. government’s O-1 Visa, a non-resident visa granted to individuals showing “exceptional talent” in their field....

Florida Avenue Grill in Washington, D.C.

September 8, 2021

When Lacey and Bertha Wilson opened The Grill in 1944, they were the sole employees, and Lacey’s most recent job was as a shoeshine man. Today, it is an epicurean gem, the world’s oldest soul food restaurant, and a D.C. institution. The decades-long path was not always an easy one. Staff refer to the restaurant as being financed “two chickens at a time,” since Lacey would fry and sell two chickens and then the couple would buy two more....

Castellum Fectio in Bunnik, Netherlands

September 8, 2021

Visiting Castellum Fectio is an immersive experience with the power of bringing you 2000 years back in time. You may easily miss it while passing by the small town of Vechten (a municipality of Bunnik) but it will only take you a short stop to realize what a hidden gem this place is. It was around 4 or 5 A.D., by order of Tiberius (back then a general engaged in the Northern campaign) that the Romans chose this site...

Abandoned Western Village in Nikko, Japan

September 8, 2021

Just a few kilometers from beautiful Nikko, with its serene Tôshôgû shrine lies a sight of a very different kind. Opened in 1973, the “Western Village” was a theme park inspired by classic American and Italian Western movies, as well as the 1973 sci-fi/Western Westworld starring Yul Brynner, which features a menacing host of malfunctioning robots attacking a group of unsuspecting tourists. While the park must have been quite an unusual sight as long as it was officially open to...

Patricia Huffman Smith NASA Museum in Hemphill,...

September 8, 2021

When the Space Shuttle Columbia started pulling apart across the east Texas sky in 2003, remnants of the craft were scattered across an area of 100 miles. When the bulk of the shuttle descended in Hemphill, Texas, near the Louisiana border, it triggered one of the largest non-terrorist forensic investigations in American history. When NASA put out a call for assistance, more than 3000 volunteers from Hemphill and the surrounding area stepped up, doing everything from an inch-by-inch search of the surrounding...

Bill's Old Bike Barn in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania

September 8, 2021

Bill’s Old Bike Barn is one of those places that if you didn’t know it was there, you would drive right past it and never know it. Bill Morris is a collector of vintage motorcycles, odd motorcycles, Americana, and interesting stuff. He was also in the custom motorcycle business for many long years. The museum opened in 1998, after Morris’s collection outgrew its original display in his custom motorcycle business. The museum started with his collection of vintage motorcycles and...

The Resistance and Ingenuity of the Cooks...

September 8, 2021

This story was originally published on SAPIENS and is republished here with permission. Garlic sizzles in a big Dutch oven. As Peggy Brunache stirs, the aromatic softens and starts to take on a sweetness in the hot oil. Soon, meat that’s been marinated in sour Seville orange juice and epis—a medley of onions, bell peppers, herbs, salt, and yet more garlic—will hit the pan. These ingredients stew in a mix containing Scotch bonnet peppers and pumpkin and butternut squash...

Ruins of St. John's Episcopal Church in...

September 8, 2021

St. John’s Episcopal Church was one of the first five churches constructed in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. It was constructed in 1851 and completed in 1852 by Irish immigrants. St. John’s served as a hospital and barracks during the Civil War but was badly damaged during the conflict. For a time, St. Peter’s Roman Catholic Church (located just down the hill) was the only surviving church in Harpers Ferry, but St. John’s was rebuilt after the war. Sadly, it...

Garnet Pool in Greens, New Hampshire

September 8, 2021

Visitors of the Mount Washington Hotel may be familiar with the beautiful art that decorates the walls around the lobby area. More observant visitors may even recognize some of the White Mountain tourist attractions that these illustrations show: the Basin, the Old Man of the Mountain, and Garnet Pool. Even the most well-versed of White Mountain aficionados may not have any idea what the Garnet Pool is. The picture in the lobby doesn’t do much to help, either, since...

The Northernmost Island in the World Was...

September 8, 2021

When a team of scientists from Switzerland and Denmark landed by helicopter on a small island off the northern coast of Greenland in July, they didn’t think much of it. It was just “one of a hundred sites” the team visited, says expedition leader Morten Rasch, while collecting samples for themselves and other scientists around the world. They had had a hard time finding their destination—called Oodaaq Island—but eventually were able to land and spend about 15 or 20...

Herrick Sawmill in Florence, Colorado

September 8, 2021

Nathaniel Herrick dreamed of forging a life for his family in the mountains of central Colorado. Though he worked hard to achieve that goal, it slipped from his dying fingers the same year he got started. In 1887, coal and silver mining camps littered the landscape of Colorado, and companies running these operations needed timber for various construction efforts. Herrick saw an opportunity to provide for those companies and his family at the same time. He planned to establish a...
