MGM Springfield: The Fresh—and Fun—Face of History

November 4, 2018 by Tom BentleyLeave a Comment

Ahh, NOW I see why those Old Fashioneds were appearing on our table like multiplying rabbits. Those canny mixmasters at the MGM Springfield’s Commonwealth bar were thinking if I had a snootful, I’d likely order their $25,000 “Indian Sidecar” drink, which is made with a 1901 Croizet cognac. Oh, I guess I should mention: if you do buy the drink, it also comes with a new Indian motorcycle. Why a 1901 cognac and why an Indian bike to go along with … [Read more...]

November 1, 2018 by Joshua Samuel Brown3 Comments

Semi-Quarantine in Singapore   Or The Best Laid Plans of Men and Microbes By Joshua Samuel Brown, Special for Dave’s Travel Corner   “Mmm…yes. Tsk.” Doctor Eung shone his light into my partner’s inflamed right ear canal. “You say you flew yesterday, is it?” Stephanie nodded grimly, her face swollen in several places. “Better you had not,” said the doctor. The illness had hit a few days earlier, caught from an old friend in … [Read more...]

Road Trip Part 4: The Salton Sea and Grand Canyon

October 29, 2018 by Steve Taylor1 Comment

In my early days of back-to-back cross-country road trips, my knowledge of photography was lacking, and my equipment was limited to a subpar cell phone camera. I have since learned the value of a good DSLR or mirrorless camera, as well as the versatility of a drone in capturing travel related photos. Still, I look back on my old road trip pictures with a nostalgia that's due in small part to their lower quality. It reminds me more vividly where I … [Read more...]

Road Trip Part 3: San Diego and Encinitas

October 26, 2018 by Steve Taylor3 Comments

International travelers are more than happy to tell you all about the people, places, and cultures of the world. There is nothing that can compare to the experience of exploring ancient cities in far away countries. To be emersed in the customs of a foreign land is an escape from one's self and education in life. In the U.S. we are so fascinated by the cultures of other countries that we often take for granted the diversity within our borders. … [Read more...]

Road Trip Part 2: Tucson to Alpine

October 23, 2018 by Steve TaylorLeave a Comment

When I decided to take my first cross-country road trip, in April of 2012, the destination was originally set as Tucson, AZ. A close friend had moved there a few years prior, and he really seemed to love it. Having spent most of my life in Northern Indiana, I was fed up with cold weather and dreamed of visiting a climate that was completely different. My trip was as much about scouting for a possible move as it was a new adventure. When I arrived … [Read more...]

Road Trip Part 1: Branson to Bisbee

October 7, 2018 by Steve TaylorLeave a Comment

On April 1st, 2012 I set out on my first road trip from Northern Indiana to Southern California. By November 2014 I had added four more similar trips, each time taking a different route. It's easy to say that the journey is better than the destination, but the reality is, the longer the road trip, the greater the monotony. Fortunately, there is relief that comes from finding great places to stop, stretch your legs, take some pictures, get … [Read more...]

Day Trip: Ten Hours In Austin, TX

September 22, 2018 by Steve TaylorLeave a Comment

It was 12:15 pm when my plane touched down at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport.  A jet-lagged stranger in a strange place, I wondered what Austin, TX might have in store for me.  The answer, I soon found out, was a lot.  With an urge to obtain some aerial photos of the city, I searched for parks in and around the downtown area and drove my rental car to Zilker Metropolitan Park.  A simple park, with an open field, Zilker would do just fine … [Read more...]
