Details‘Land of 10,000 smokes’ – the first book I see in the Museum of Anchorage as I ironically stumble into one of the girls that came home with my associate and I the night before. And by “home” I mean to the “trap house” that was owned by their male friend to sell various fun…
DetailsWhen I was a young guy, from ages 10-15 if I had to guess, every Memorial Day marked a dreaded experience: The Indianapolis 500. My grandpa would take my uncle and I to the race every year as a form of male bonding and camaraderie. Unfortunately, at this age I had the attention span of a…
DetailsI’ve lived In The Annapolis my whole life, and for the longest time, I thought on a regular basis, “I can’t wait to get out of here…” But lately, this city is surprising me more and more with the different events they’re hosting (Super Bowl XLVI, the Sweet Sixteen, the Final Four and numerous national conventions),…

DetailsKilroy’s on Kirkwood, Roy’s, KOK, pre-Sports (or whatever you may know it as) was and is still, undoubtedly the staple in every true Hoosier’s weekend. For reference and to give the sad saps from all the other state schools (yeah I’m looking at you boilermakers), Kilroy’s put two impostors in Indy to provide you with…
DetailsMy study abroad experience is one I will never forget… Between meeting best friends, traveling through Europe, and going to the pubs on a daily basis, Ireland was the place for me.
