A Visit to the World’s Greatest Barbershop

July 1, 2020 by Dave4 Comments

About 60 mostly bearded fellows were lined up already - a count by our own estimate. And according to front man, chair number one and owner Alex Torreto, a slow day by his account. They often start lining up two hours before the shop even opens he said. I must digress. Central Frankfurt has a real lack of barbers, simply put - places where one can walk in the door and just get a damn haircut. Prior to my visit to Torreto, I stopped by 7 other … [Read more...]

5 Essential Things to Do In Downtown LA

April 28, 2020 by Giorgos Mouratidis1 Comment

Downtown fortunes seem to blow in the wind like so many jazz trumpets. Famous for being as noir as this previous sentence, downtown Los Angeles has seen its share of ups and downs. A formative force in the birth and development of the city, downtown fell into obscurity as places like Hollywood and Venice bloomed thanks to urban sprawl amid growing demand for housing in the city of dreams.

Why do I Climb Mountains?

April 1, 2020 by Dave11 Comments

For years I have wondered why I am obsessed about climbing mountains and being at high altitude. It has been difficult to answer. The obvious reason and it is very true, is the stunning visual beauty. But beyond that I never had an answer. And logically it makes no sense. All the hardships. The suffering from altitude sickness. And there has been loads of this over the years. And the ever present danger. One time we were high up on Rainier - … [Read more...]

Blooming Where We’re Planted, and A Taste of Honey

November 30, 2019 by Sharon Nadja Zajdman2 Comments

We were a busload of older women off on a jaunt on a hot day in July. Departing from a Montreal seniors’ center, we rode off to Mirabel, located in the Lower Laurentian Hills.

Most of … [Read more...]

The Alabama Hills are not, as you might think, in Birmingham or Mobile. Rather, they are in … [Read more...]
