Monet Painting Sold Under Duress During the Nazi Era Will Be Auctioned from Kunsthaus Zurich’s Collection

Trade "La Ville en Rose" for "La Ville Rose" in one of France's largest southern cities. Far removed from both the throngs of tourists and giant, honking roundabouts of Paris, Toulouse is a decidedly more peaceful French respite. High fashion, cold attitudes, and the often dreary weather fade away to a more laid-back approach to life, sunny southern skies, and grand boulevards to rival the French capital as you make your way by plane or, more preferably, by train south.

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.

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.

There’s a certain experiential quality to observing and appreciating street art. These graffitied tags and images populate the bricked sides of buildings and the cemented planks of sidewalks, beckoning passersby to see them, interact with them and sometimes watch as they are destroyed, removed, painted over or fade with time. Some street art is perhaps silly and intrusive to viewers — a momentary emitting of some artist’s present mood — while others are well-thought-out creations that demand introspection and consideration. Some are both.
