May 31st, 2008 at 5:30PM: About two years ago, I saw the "Bodies" exhibit when it was in Cleveland. As I found out when reading Jaunted, there is a problem with the New York City exhibit. Perhaps, some of the people who were turned into plastic sans skin didn't have a say in the matter.
In the exhibit literature I saw, there were many assurances that the people on display had agreed to be a museum piece before their ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

"Bodies" exhibit: a personal experience
May 31st, 2008 at 5:30PM: About two years ago, I saw the "Bodies" exhibit when it was in Cleveland. As I found out when reading Jaunted, there is a problem with the New York City exhibit. Perhaps, some of the people who were turned into plastic sans skin didn't have a say in the matter.

Mar 23rd, 2008 at 11:20AM: So I actually made it to Cleveland for Easter. It was not exactly easy, but I guess Easter is all about suffering so I am not complaining. The flight from Prague to New York was delayed and the flight from New York to Cleveland was three hours more delayed because Ohio got hit with 8 inches of snow. Yes, snow on Easter. Long story short, I made it here in time to find what the Easter bunny left ...Greyhound bus line expands its priority boarding system
Jan 7th, 2008 at 5:30PM: Back in November, Catherine wrote a post about Greyhound's $5 extra per ticket priority boarding, seat assignment system. After a month of trying it out, the system must be working well because it was expanded in December to include a large portion of Greyhound's departure cities. (see news release) Not all trips from the departure cities are elibible for priority boarding, however.
The main ...Cleveland or Panama? Migratory birds reveal all
Nov 29th, 2007 at 11:30AM: Panama City is home to one of the world's largest rain forests inside city limits. It's beautiful. Great city and Pacific Ocean views on one side (like my picture the other day, taken from the park) and unbroken jungle-like views on the other side.
What's strange about the Panama National Metropolitan Park is that it is a sister park to the Cleveland (Ohio) Metroparks system. USAID and the U.S. ...Fiji, or Cleveland??
May 24th, 2007 at 8:02PM: Cleveland often can't catch a break, but at least its water is good. While drinking Fiji bottled water last night, I remembered a story that's worth retelling about an ad campaign they ran last year. The ad, I'm told, talked about how pure the water was, and it ended with the tag line: "The label says Fiji because it's not bottled in Cleveland." Another slam.
But Cleveland, where drinking water ...Gay? Cleveland, Ohio Wants You!
Feb 3rd, 2007 at 12:18PM: Cleveland, Ohio's tourism officials are working feverishly to bring gay visitors to the city. Working in conjunction with the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Community Center of Greater Cleveland, Cleveland's Convention and Visitors Bureau is designing a travel guide that spotlights gay-owned or gay-friendly nightclubs, hotels, restaurants, and other businesses. The guide should be finished this ...GADLING'S TAKE FIVE: Week of December 10
Dec 15th, 2006 at 11:00PM: Ready for another week in review at Gadling? If you missed some of this week's goodies I won't keep you waiting a minute longer. Just sit back, chill out and catch up. 5. Driving a Piece of East German History: In this fine piece, David Luna points us to a tour company called Trabi Safari. The tours are pretty much "do-it-yourself" style, but what's cool about driving the Trabant around Berlin to ...No Surf in Cleveland? Sure, There is!
Dec 10th, 2006 at 4:38PM: Having spent a good amount of time in Cleveland, Ohio (but never having heard Eric Carmen and the Euclid Beach Band's "There's No Surf in Cleveland," which I'm assured is a real song), I was surprised at today's NY Times article, "Yes, You Can Surf in Cleveland."
Apparently, groups of die-hard Clevelanders can't wait for the start of winter because that's high time for Lake Erie waves. They work ...Most Dangerous U.S. Cities
Oct 30th, 2006 at 11:12PM: Here's a news story I'd like to first dedicate to my father who seems to lose his wits any time I mention travel overseas. Sure the places I go aren't always high traffic areas or flooded by tourists, but that doesn't necessarily classify them as dangerous. What I'm really trying to say is you can be smiley and friendly anywhere you go, but just watch your back as well. And to my father who I'm ...
