      The Kelso Depot was created in 1905, as a watering stop for the San Pedro, Los Angeles and Salt Lake Railroad.

      The taproom at this local brewery is a delight. The furniture is simple and yet elegant, a table constructed of pallets and picnic-style benches with shipping rope as art.

      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 ...

      Louisville has come to be associated with the booming business of producing and selling fine bourbon whiskey. There is a Urban Bourbon Trail which includes about twenty of these establishments in downtown Louisville. All of these lounges offer a little "passport" booklet listing brief histories about the bourbon distilleries. When visitors obtain six stamps in their passport they can obtain a free t-shirt.
