September is almost always a lull for me. It’s the first month back to work which always leaves me exhausted, so exhausted that instead of getting out of work on Friday and rushing headfirst into the weekend I sometimes find myself in bed and completely zonked out by 8 or 9. I’m also usually pretty broke by

A few weeks ago my cousin texted me to say he was in Portland Maine and that I should write about it for one of the weekend trip ideas. I said great send me some pictures and he did not, mainly because he’s a dick, so here we have this pictureless Portland post. Portland, a city
I’m not completely sure why I’m featuring this as a weekend trip idea because this would scare me completely shitless, but it piqued my interest. This weekend trip idea is built around the Fayetteville West Virginia Bridgewalk. Fayetteville is a relatively small town of just around 2,700 people located in southern West Virginia.

I’m a big fan of small cities. I’m also a big fan of going somewhere and having it completely exceed all expectations I had of it. Rochester did both of these.

I’ve decided to expand my “10 Easy and Cheap Things to Do in Philadelphia” post to some other places in PA. If you read that, the philosophy behind it was giving you some quick, easy, and cheap ideas for exploring a city a little bit more, even if your main intent is social (aka you’re
With the exception of Pittsburgh, I don’t give western Pennsylvania much love, mainly because I’ve traveled very little in that region. Let’s try to change that. This week’s “Weekend Trip Idea” is western PA’s Laurel Highlands. The Laurel Highlands is a mountainous region located southwest of Pittsburgh encompassing Cambria, Fayette, and Somerset counties. It’s mountains
