Monopoly Game Properties IRL: A Photo Collection For Board Game Lovers
With all the smartphone games available, I don't hear about people playing board games much anymore. Only two stick out in my mind as being able to stand the test of time.

Let me paint a picture for you. What do you think would happen in this situation? You have a beautiful bike with all the trimmings (bells, basket, lights, etc).

Inspiration: An Indoor Picnic Table Created With Real Grass
If you live in a big city like I do, you probably don't get to go on very many cozy picnics in the park. I love going on picnics, it's one of my favorite things to do, although it's been a few years since I've had the chance to go on one. Where I live, in Atlanta, there is actually more wildlife out ...
The Best Way To Parallel Park
I'm a bad driver, and I know it. There, I said it. I suck really badly at it actually. I've hit cars parked in my own driveway several times, and I've had many accidents on the highway. I drive like a granny, and when my friends ask why I drive so slow, I have to explain that I'm trying to be carefu ...
Creative Cartoonist Draws & Live Tweets During NYC Marathon
When I ran the Peachtree Road Race (one of the largest 10K races in the world) in 2009, I saw all kinds of crazy stuff along the way. It was the most fun I've ever had while exercising. I saw a couple getting married while running (their bridesmaids and groomsmen were also running), I saw a priest t ...

Spectacular New York City Photography [10 Pics]
I love living in a big city. I grew up in a small town, and I always knew from the time I was a little girl that I was destined for a big city. The moment I was old enough to relocate, I did. To me, one of the most beautiful aspects of living in a large metropolitan area is standing right in the mid ...
The Pedestrian’s Guide to the USA
Here in States, you can tell a lot about a city by the way the people walk. If you don't live here, you might think that walking is just walking, but I want to assure you that it isn't. There are many different types of walking, and once you've traveled enough, you can start recognizing where someon ...
Legoland Theme Park – A Geek’s Dream Destination

New Food Trend – Pizza in a Cone (NYC)
I'm definitely a foodie because I've written about everything from the most heavenly ice cream sundae ever made to that disgusting KFC Double Down sandwich.

Man Draws Panoramic views of NYC, Tokyo and Rome from Memory!
Several years ago I saw a show on TV about savants, people with extraordinary abilities in different areas. The one that caught my attention especially in that show was a guy that drew a London building exactly how it looked like after just passing through it on the way from the airport to the studi ...
