Fans of the great American folktale of Washington Irving’s Rip Van Winkle may recall its setting in pre-revolutionary New York, in the vast forests of the Catskills. Any traveler, especially those escaping bustling Manhattan two to three hours south, can take a few pointers from the Rip. His passions included wandering through the lush mountains and verdant valleys of the Catskill Mountains, where he found solace amongst the trees and intrigue in the rivers and streams. There’s certainly something to say, here, about the wilderness, and the enchantment that comes from the endlessly green and mountainous Catskills region, even if it's peace doesn't cause you to sleep through the entire American Revolution.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

This far out address is looking for a new owner.

In Millbrook, New York, a sprawling retreat once home to Harvard professor-turned-psychedelic superfan Timothy Leary has hit the market for $65 million — a potential record-breaker for the rapidly gentrifying Hudson Valley.

The approximately 2,000-acre spread, known as the Hitchcock Estate, dates back to the 1800s and enjoyed considerable cultural significance in the 1960s, when Leary — originator of the famous phrase, “turn on, tune in, drop out” — and a gaggle of like-minded LSD-lovers began occupying the place, the Wall Street Journal first reported.
