I never remember being into PEZ as a kid, maybe because I was too lazy for that crap. But I think I’d still like to visit the Burlingame Museum of PEZ Memorabilia. In a small room at the back of an old computer store, there’s the World’s Largest PEZ Dispenser...
We interrupt our regularly scheduled July 4th programming to honour another patriotic holiday, Canada Day. Nearly one-hundred years after the United States gained independence from the British, the Constitution Act of 1867 united three colonies into a single country called Canada (within the British Empire of course). When one thinks...
If you grew up watching Saturday morning cartoons like me, then you probably remember The Smurfs. But you might not know that they originally started as a Belgian comic strip in 1958. Interesting fact…Belgium has more comic strip artists per square kilometer than any other country in the world. So...
Wow! If I thought I already found some very specific museums (like the Aluminum Tree and Seasonal Ornament Museum or Funeral Carriage Museum) I just discovered one to top them all. Yes, ladies and gentleman there is a Bicycle Pedaling Museum. Actually the correct term should be “was” as the...
Good news! Tourism officials in Logan, Ohio have found a new home for the thousands of pencil sharpeners that once belonged to an Ohio minister who died last summer. Rev. Paul Johnson’s collection of 3,479 pencil sharpeners were housed in a small shed behind his house in Carbon Hill. Open...

March 1st is a very important date. In 1781, the U.S. adopted the Articles of Confederation, our first constitution and a total failure. In 1803, Ohio officially became a state and a non-destination for tourists everywhere. And in 1994, Justin Bieber was born and will most likely be forgotten by...
I can begin my annual tradition of telling you about creepy museums and attractions and things. Yesterday got off to a good start with a post about the grave of James Dean (on the 60th anniversary of his death!) but that wasn’t necessarily terrifying compared to the above photo. Yes,...
Let’s visit Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen’s favorite museum, the Troll Museum. On New York City’s Lower East Side, a woman in elf ears named Reverend Jen and her pet chihuahua (Reverend Jen Jr. of course…who also happens to be a dog model) will give you a FREE guided tour...
