Jul 12th, 2010 at 9:30AM: If you wanna see inside someone's brain, stick 'em in an art museum and then leave them there for an hour. Some will feign interest for at least 10 minutes and then start looking for the bathroom. Others will politely wander or become transfixed by a certain wall and never leave, others will head straight to the gift shop to try on silly hats. Big or small, art museums offer the truest personality ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Dec 28th, 2009 at 11:30AM: What is it about snow that just makes us want to play in it? A fresh, fluffy layer of snow means snow angels and snowmen, building forts and having snowball fights. And for some people, it also means making really, really big snow sculptures like these found on WebUrbanist.com.
To see some smaller, but no less impressive, snow sculptures in the Midwest, check out one of the area's many winter ...Peace on earth, goodwill toward men: two places where it worked
Dec 24th, 2009 at 9:30AM: We hear a lot about peace and friendship over the holidays, but the reality is that different religions and peoples are constantly fighting. It seems we can never get along. Or at least that's what the history books would have you believe. History focuses on change, and change usually means conflict, but there have been many times in the past when different religions and ethnic groups have lived ...JetAirways is FINE
Jul 22nd, 2009 at 1:30PM: In an airlines story faux pas, in a post this past Sunday, I inadvertently switched airlines putting Jet Airways as stopping service instead of JetAmerica. Rats! Then Zachary, a faithful Gadling reader, after dragging himself up from the floor after his heart attack from wondering if his trip to Barcelona is not happening after all, had enough energy left to pop me a comment telling me of my GRAVE ...JetAmerica goes bust
Jul 18th, 2009 at 11:30AM: That was quick. In less than two months after opening shop for business, Jet Airways JetAmerica has decided it can't take people from Toledo to points beyond after all. The end of May the airlines had started selling tickets to places like Melbourne, Florida, Lansing, Michigan and South Bend, Indiana with plans to expand to Newark, New Jersey and more. The airlines was to start flying this ...JetAmerica, new Ohio-based budget airline launched today
May 27th, 2009 at 8:00PM: When Skybus folded last year, there were rumblings that it might resurrect but in another form. JetAmerica, a new budget airlines has just launched in Toledo. Is Skybus rising like a phoenix from the ashes? Like Skybus, JetAmerica is borrowing some of Ryanair's strategies but unlike Columbus's defunct airline that left behind a hole in airline service and oodles of bills is hoping to avoid ...Second-tier airports still getting action
Mar 17th, 2009 at 9:00AM: Smaller airports may have trouble supporting the needs of large airlines, but smaller carriers are filling in the gaps. Direct Air, for example, moved into Toledo to connect those Ohioans with Myrtle Beach, SC and Punta Gorda, FL – at dirt cheap prices. And, everyone knows that Toledo is a hotbed of trendsetters ... While these smaller airlines do provide service from local airports, saving ...10 more ideas for traveling cheaper in 2009

Oct 17th, 2008 at 1:30PM: When I heard Joe the Plumber, the guy McCain made his personal friend in Wednesday night's presidential debate, was from Holland, Ohio, my first thought was maybe there's something to do in Holland--a weekend getaway perhaps?
Not exactly. Not Holland, per se, but, it's close to Sarah Palin's corn maze for some fall fun. Whitehouse is also in Lucas County.
Corn, Palin and Joe Plumber aside, ...American Eagle pilot tries to amuse his passengers and fails
Aug 24th, 2008 at 2:00PM: Passengers on American Eagle flight 4891 from New York's La Guardia airport en route to Cleveland were already running 2 hours late when the pilot asked the flight attendant to advise the passengers that the aircraft would be diverted to Toledo.
