In the small town of Stanwood, located in northwest Washington between Seattle and the Canadian border, one can find an overwhelming Scandinavian presence. Aside from the Sons of Norway hall and street names like Lindstrom and Jensen, there are a number of quirkier indications of its early settlers' roots.

It's about that time of year again, It's crazy looking back through this year and throwing stuff together for this "Year End" post.

Located outside of Ann Arbor, Michigan, the Warehouse is a sort of secret place that…

On this trip to New York, I wanted to make sure I got some good New York pizza. That doesn't mean
typical New York pizza, it means
real New York pizza. A friend (who happens to be Italian) told me I had to check out Lombardi's in Little Italy, as it was the first pizzeria in America. That's a good enough reason for me!
