If it’s your dream to sleep inside a giant Beagle, then you’re in luck. Located on Highway 95 near the Idaho town of Cottonwood, Dog Bark Park Inn is a two-bedroom Bed & Breakfast with a dog theme interior. Locally it is known as “Sweet Willy”. Designed and built by...
After telling you about the Smallest Museum in St. Paul and the Teeny Statue of Liberty Museum “Tiny Museum Week” continues with another micro-museum, this one’s in San Francisco (and may no longer be active…correct me if I’m wrong). I’m not sure if this is still an active project, but...
A couple of weeks ago I told you about the Chopsticks Museum in Shanghai, China. Like I said before, the city has 120 recognized private collections; the 5000 propaganda posters located in some dude’s basement is probably one of the most random. Well, actually that’s not true as we’re talking...

With globalization and corporate-whoredom ruining everything, many traditional family-run businesses and mom-and-pop stores are disappearing from the landscape, replaced with mediocrity and blandness. Where once a street was covered with eyecatching signs, usually...
If you like trees made out of buttons, then you must go to the American Folk Art Museum to see Chicago artist Gregory Warmack’s creation. Or better yet…make one yourself.
I don’t know what this is exactly, but it can be found at the Science and Design Powerhouse Museum in Sydney, Australia.
Yesterday’s post made me think all of you guys are secret practical Catholics (only one freakin’ like), so no more Knights of Columbus mentions here. That sucks because I was planning on lots of religious museums, collections and exhibits for the upcoming Easter/Passover holidays, well, maybe this next one will...
