For all of you who are "in the know," the name David Lynch will either thrill you or frighten you into running far far away. A true auteur, he went down his own path and either mesmerized or befuddled entranced or confused audiences. We count ourselves in the "thrilled" mob. The man…
“The past is buried deep within the ground in Rabat, although the ancient walls in the old city are still standing, painted in electrifying variations of royal blue that make the winding roads look like streamlets or shallow ocean water.”

Indulge us as we look to the past of travel and, in some aspects, compare it to modern travel. In many ways, today's air travel is light years away from even the 1970s. Those of us who flew in that time period would slump into our "state-of-art" jet liner seats and marvel at how…
If you're not too much into history, you might want to jump to any of our other 2000+ posts, but you may also want to stick with us here, because this is a wide-reaching discussion on how New York City blossomed into the behemoth that it is, and why - if you're the curious type…
