In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

When Kimberly Morris started tracing her family roots, stretching back to her ancestors' enslavement in the 1800s, she didn't expect to uncover an incredible piece of history. Her genealogy journey led her to a decaying, one-room schoolhouse hidden in the woods of Virginia's Caroline County, a place overtaken by nature since her father's childhood. "This is my family's history," Morris told The Washington Post about the century-old building with its torn-up floor, precarious roof, and missing windows.

It’s a new testament to modern technology. 

Archeologists in Israel discovered a biblically significant moat that divided Jerusalem into two parts hidden beneath a parking lot in the City of David. 

The manmade trench — researchers have sought answers on its existence for 150 years — was “one of the monumental fortifications that protected the kings of Jerusalem,” according to the Israel Antiquities Authority, the agency in charge of the dig at the Givati Parking lot.

It is a 3,500-square-foot site that, until about 15 years ago, was used for cars and visitors seeing the Western or “Wailing Wall” of Jerusalem....

Few Swiss watch brands can rival Rolex’s iconic name. While other brands compete for second place among the most well-known and sought-after watches in the world, Rolex stands apart as the lone superior and reigns supreme as the king of watch manufacturers. There is a good reason the company uses a crown as its logo. How have they kept that title for so long? They are extremely good at creating limited editions that send the Rolex faithful into a frenzy, only to disappear and become the legendary rare finds that keep their consumers searching like Indiana Jones looking for lost treasure. One of the more recent and now most sought-after limited editions is the Rolex Submariner ref. 116610LV. Better known as the Rolex Hulk.

A hearty steak dinner is one that we personally never get tired of. Not only is a steak dinner a great choice when you’re feeling something savory and filling for yourself, but it’s also an excellent option to impress guests who come over for dinner.
