Stuart, FL

What do alligators, Mickey Mouse, and oranges have in common? That's right, Florida. While the Sunshine State is known for all kinds of things, it is now also known for being home to the Best Coastal Small Town in America: Stuart. There are so many timeless things to do in Florida that it can be easy to forget to visit the smaller gems throughout the state. That's especially true for hidden gems that are more off-the-map like this beloved destination.

One man’s error is another man’s Titanic! In an unforeseeable catastrophe, an affluent group fell prey to a terrifying moment when their stunning Italian superyacht sank near an idyllic Greek holiday island. The weather turned, leaving the crew with little time to close the door. This misstep—leaving a side door open—resulted in the sinking of the 150-foot megayacht ‘Ethos.’

A dream superyacht charter turned into a nightmare when a crew member left a door open, eventually sinking the $55 million vessel. An affluent group had rented the 150-footer for $180,000 a week in Greece.

Utah State

As a state with five national parks and plenty of beautiful and varied natural scenery, it makes sense why Utah is so popular amongst travelers. While one of the best ways to see the entire state is to hit all five national parks in one unforgettable road trip, you may want to also stray a little off the beaten path and check out some of the less-popular but equally-beautiful areas of the Beehive State. For example, you could head to Utah's Antelope Island for uncrowded beaches and incredible wildlife or even visit America's only pink salt lake. Furthermore, you could even head to some of Utah's gorgeous swimming holes like the one at the Fifth Water Waterfalls and Hot Spring.

If you haven’t heard of Bimini, you’re not alone. This tiny Bahamian island — the closest to the United States, just 48 miles off the coast of Miami — has long been an under-the-radar spot known mostly to avid fishermen who come for big game like marlin and tuna, or for the bonefishing on the shallow flats between North and South Bimini. One such fisherman is a guy you’ve definitely heard of, Ernest Hemingway, who called Bimini home between 1935 and 1937 (his time here inspired The Old Man and the Sea). Prior to Hemingway’s residency, Bimini was a popular hideaway during Prohibition, given its proximity to America and lack of alcohol restrictions, and was once believed to be home to The Fountain of Youth (Ponce de Leon came here searching for it in 1513).

VOLOS, Greece – Greek authorities have started collecting hundreds of thousands of dead fish that poured into a tourist port in the central city of Volos this week after being displaced from their usual freshwater habitats during flooding last year.

The floating carcasses created a silvery blanket across the port and a stench that alarmed residents and authorities who raced to scoop them up before the odor reached nearby restaurants and hotels.





“It spans kilometers,” city council member Stelios Limnios told Reuters. “It’s not just along the coast, but also in the center of the Pagasetic Gulf,” he said, referring to the...

Ruth's Chris Steak House has over 140 locations worldwide. One is located at 11500 W Huguenot Road, Midlothian, VA 23113. Ruth Fertel, a divorced mother, needed money to send her two teenage sons to college. In 1965, Ruth ignored the advice of her banker, lawyer, and friends and mortgaged her house for $22,000 to buy a small 60-seat restaurant in New Orleans, Louisiana. It was named Chris Steak House after the owner, Chris Matulich, who founded the restaurant on February 27, 1927. That was close to Ruth's birthday. Therefore, she took that as a sign to purchase Chris Steak House even though it had failed six times under the previous owner. On her first day, May 24, 1965, she sold 35 steaks at $5 each.

The Civil War brought a heavy toll, prompting wealthy people to support the Confederate States of America in their pursuits. A large amount of this gold, often referred to as “treasure” by historians, vanished after the Civil War. For more than 150 years, its location has remained a mystery, with no clear answers about what happened to it.
