Although today can be a great day full of memories for those who had loving fathers, it is also a triggering day for some people. Family-focused holidays can be depressing, anxiety-filled, and just plain awful. Let’s not forget that in the U.S. 1 out of 3 children live in biological...
I have a confession to make - I have never eaten at White Castle. I know, I know. Possibly the worst thing someone can do while living in America. Maybe the government should kick me out or something. Anyway, I bet you didn’t know the restaurant has a Cravers Hall...
No one is perfect, and that includes both you and me, so after dealing with some mentally ill people this week I think it is best to find a museum that is the opposite of crazy, let’s say even boring. And one of the most boring things I can think...
My mind always focuses on what ifs. One of my biggest regrets whilst living in England was not going to the Photography Museum (now known as the National Media Museum). I had friends who lived nearby. And even though we went through Bradford a few times, I never thought to...
So I took the wrong medication last night, slept 13 hours and now I feel overtired with aching muscles and heavy eyelids. While trying to wake up this morning, I found myself watching Back to the Future Part II, which features the Biff Tannen Museum. This is from the 1985...
If you dismiss the thimble as just one of the game tokens in Monopoly, think again. Even though most thimble makers have now gone out of business, this sewing tool is important enough to get its own museum. The Fingerhut Museum in Creglingen, Germany displays thimbles and other sewing tools...
I really want to go to the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum in Whitefish Point, Michigan. Since 1679, there have been nearly 5,000 shipwrecks in the Great Lakes. Part of the exhibit includes these water-proof matches from the infamous Edmund Fitzgerald, which were brought up by a deep-sea submersible in the...
Nearly forgot to post something today! The Kindlifresser, or “Child Eater", has been traumatizing the children of Bern, Switzerland for nearly 500 years. Built in 1546, the city’s oldest fountain depicts a sculpture who has a taste for the babies. One is stuffed in his mouth, while several others await...
Although I’m more of a Nikola Tesla fan, I’ll tell you a little bit about the Thomas Edison Memorial Tower (which also includes the Menlo Park Museum) in Edison, New Jersey. Built in 1938, the tower marks the site of Edison’s greatest triumph, specifically the light bulb, which he unveiled...
I’d like to share a dwarf garden in Salzburg, Austria with you. Yeah, I know this isn’t exactly what you call a museum, but museums grew out of people having collections at their homes, so this is sorta like an outdoor garden museum. Also known as the Zwerglgarten, the dwarves...
