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.

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.
