Many of the phenomena in the Alexandria Hotel are symptomatic of unchecked carbon monoxide fumes, which is not unlikely in an old building. However, my wife and I stayed overnight on the Queen Mary a...

Intelligentsia isn't going to "take over" Starbucks and Coffee Bean any more than Loteria is going to take over Acapulco. People who know the difference and are willing to pay a little more will go t...

A dress code is a dress code. The point of the first amendment is that no religion has any special sanctions *or* special protections. Allowing a person of one specific religion to break a dress cod...

Yeah, I don't even know where to begin with this idiocy. On top of the huge registration fees we already pay, now we have to allow our cars to be turned into commercials if we want to drive? "The id...

The pizza in NYC isn't good either. Boston for thin crust, Chicago for deep dish....

I hiked there once with a group several years back. What an amazing experience. It's best to go when there's been considerable rainfall recently (i.e., right now); during the hot and dry season, the...

Yeah, comparing it to the Ferry Building is setting a pretty high bar. And it already doesn't sound anything like it, since the Ferry building mainly has fancy food *shops* as opposed to restaurants ...

And P.S., why is it called "Negotiation is Over"? When did this alleged "negotiation" ever begin? As long as I can remember, animal activists have only ever presented their views via angry protests ...
