      Photo by Peter Thody
      Head north on Highway 75 out of the resort town of Ketchum and you'll pass by a small store on your left. If you're a movie buff it might look familiar, particularly in winter when it's covered in snow. This was where rodeo rider Bo Decker (Don Murray) wooed Cherie (Marilyn Monroe) when a blizzard hit in the 1956 comic romance Bus Stop. ...

      Chances are you don't normally enjoy eating on an airplane, but this might be an exception. A retired Southwest Airlines 737 has been repurposed to serve as one portion of the Parachute Inn Restaurant. You get to sit in the same seats while dining that passengers once occupied while flying. Or if you prefer, you can dine in the attached ...

      About 9 miles west of the resort town of Lajitas, keep an eye out to your left for Contrabando, an abandoned film set. One small adobe building "La Casita" is original but all the others were constructed to create a movie location used in a series of almost exclusively forgettable Westerns. ...

      It's designed for kids, but adults may not be able to resist joining the fun with hands-on science activities, and places to play and explore. Inspired by the inquisitive mind of Leonardo da Vinci, to whom it pays tribute with its decor, Leonardo's is a compact but extensive playland ...

      This hotel is located in the middle of Venice Beach right on the world-famous Ocean Front Walk. It is a family-run establishment in a four-story building that was originally constructed of brick in 1912 and opened as "The Potter Hotel." The rooms are spacious, comfortable and well-appointed. I stayed in one of the ocean view suites on the fourth floor and the views of the ocean, beach and boardwalk were endlessly fascinated and ...
