Herbie J Pilato

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

New Jersey State

Asbury Park, NJ

The New Jersey shore has long been a famous place for beach lovers, with over 100 million people visiting each year, according to Tourism Economics (pdf). The 2009 reality TV show "The Jersey Shore" made the area even more ubiquitous — if not a bit ridiculous. Regardless of how you feel about the typical "Jersey" stereotype, one thing cannot be denied: The beaches are absolutely beautiful. While the state has many beachside boardwalks, including Atlantic City, Wildwood, and Seaside (where "The Jersey Shore" was initially filmed), there is one boardwalk you won't want to miss on your next vacation: Asbury Park, one of the best East Coast beach towns.
