I put off spending a long weekend in Cincinnati for a long time. I didn’t know (or had ever heard) anything about it and didn’t want to risk wasting a weekend. I needed to be 100% convinced a weekend in Cincinnati was going to be worth it—not like that time I boarded a plane to […]
10 Ways to Spend a Day in Ybor City, Tampa
I’m all about landing in Florida and heading straight for a piña colada by the beach… which is probably how I managed to live in the Tampa Bay area for a year and a half and never spend a day in Ybor City. I mean, really, how much do you know about your own backyard […]
Should You Visit the American Sign Museum in Cincinnati? OMG YES!
The American Sign Museum in Cincinnati, Ohio has changed me. Well, that’s a dumb thing to say about a museum of signs, huh? I mean, these are metal, wooden, neon signs I’m talking about—not signs from a divine power (read that last part with an echo). These merely tell me where to stop for gas […]

Haha—okay, you know that’s not true. 2017 will be my 7th consecutive year at the Epcot Food and Wine Festival and […]
How Hot is Mild? An Exploration of Nashville Hot Chicken
My friends and I… we’ve got big dreams. We want to explore the world, cure diseases, and learn how to pop lock and drop it without ripping our pants open. (*sigh* maybe someday…) Some of my friends want to start families; some want to start businesses; I just wanna eat all the Nashville hot chicken […]
Cheers for Beers! An Offbeat Cheat Sheet to Memphis Craft Breweries
As I said a couple of posts ago, I don’t live in my beloved Memphis, Tennessee anymore but I still make annual visits to catch up with friends and family, stock up on BBQ sauce, and to avoid making eye contact with people I don’t want to talk to with the seriousness of a rectal […]
The Best Travel Photography Gear for Time-Budget Travelers
Updated: November 9th, 2018 I’ve always been interested in photography and have a real desire to get better at it… but… I just don’t think it’s gonna work out. The more I learn about serious photography the more turned off I get. Learning about f-stops and EVF and ISO got me like OMFG, WTF, L8R. […]
