Boo!
Scare you? No? Well, we’ve got a few other tricks and travel treats bubbling away in this week’s Three-fer Friday cauldron. Here, some places and experiences that left us with chills (still multiplying). Happy Halloween!
We’re joined by one of our most frightening–and we mean that in a good way–friends. Hilary Davidson, a very nice and [...]
I’m an artsy-craftsy kind of person. I like to knit and sew and if you sit me down at a table with crafting supplies, I can usually come up with something. And around this time of year, I tend to spend a lot of time crafting this or that, to give as gifts.
Sure wish I [...]

Some days a slash of hot pink light on the wall was my cue to grab the camera. Other days it was an oppressive storm cloud that started me shooting. No matter the reason, I’ve spent the last five years convinced that the best shows in New York City aren’t on Broadway. The best [...]

The Halloween season is nearly behind us and the shopping season is just about upon us. Shopping can be odious or delightful, depending on the who (Jenna is an enthusiastic shopper, Sophia would rather not) and where. So for today’s three-fer we present three shops in which we could happily do all our holiday shopping.
Our [...]
I’ve been goofing around in Door County, Wisconsin this week, getting a good dose of autumn everything—colors, weather, pumpkins, apples, autumnal scarecrows-and-sheaves-of-wheat displays. Good golly, it’s everything you want autumn to be–so perfect, it’s hokey. Wonderfully so. Here, take a look:

I visited the couple two years ago while touring Berea, a town that could easily take the title of Folk Art Capital of the U.S., and the surrounding area. While the whirligigs and sculptures outside the Money house signal something good going on inside, there’s no way to imagine the joy that sits just inside [...]

We’re animal people. It’s that simple. So, even when our trips don’t include horseback riding or dog mushing or some other animal-centered activity, we’re on the lookout for four footers (and monkeys, snakes, and a dolphin or two). Here, some critters that dazzled us along the way.
Joining us for this Three-fer Friday is writer Genevieve [...]

In 1977, I took my first cross-country trip with two girlfriends. I was 19 years old and, except for 10 days in London when I was 15, I’d never left the East Coast. Actually, I’d barely been out of New York City. Partway through the drive, I started writing a letter to my brother documenting [...]

With David Lynch behind the project, it’s reasonable to expect a layer of surreal* would shroud the Interview Project. His Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks visions of life in America are hardly comforting. They may be fun to watch–especially, it should be said, for college students experimenting with various altered states–but, like a maximum security [...]

We’ve all seen a lot of stuff in our travels—museums and roadside attractions, neon signs and neighborhoods, city streets and country roads. But every now and then we are struck right between the eyes with a view so affecting, it burns itself into our brains.
Our guest contributor for today’s three-fer is TR Ryan, an Oklahoma [...]
