North Carolina is a treasure trove for all things paranormal and creepy. From haunted places all over the state to Bigfoot sightings and more, you’re living in the right place if you love to be in the middle of the creepy action. One can’t-miss creepy and paranormal attraction is located in the tiny town of Littleton, approximately 90 miles northeast of Raleigh.

You might catch sight of a shooting star once in a while if you’re lucky, but have you ever seen a whole sky filled with streaking stars? A brilliant meteor shower is coming to Vermont this summer and it’s shaping up to be an astronomical delight. Here’s how and when to see it. Getty/Kevin Key / Slworking The Perseid meteor shower is an annual event that sees the sky sparkle with hundreds of “shooting stars” or meteors....
We rejoiced when we heard that temperatures are predicted to be cooler than normal across the Grand Canyon State this year, but if you’ve been outdoors lately, the weather has been anything but mild – and the summer season hasn’t even officially begun. New information released by leading weather sources suggests that we may have gotten our hopes up too high. According to the National Weather Service, Phoenix matched a record high temperature set well over 40 years ago....
Going to the zoo, for many of us, was an annual event (or maybe we visited more frequently) during childhood. And, we likely had our favorite animals that we always had to see first, right? Whether we made a beeline for the penguins or ran straight to the tigers, we couldn’t wait to get a close-up view of our favorite animals. After you’ve visited the old favorites at your next visit to this zoo in Missouri, visit these rare animals that you may never have seen in person – yet....
We’re fascinated by Oregon’s historic spots, but we also love traveling outside the state to visit other places around the country to learn about the history of America. This May, we won’t have to travel farther than our very own coast to get a taste of the Revolutionary War, when these two tall ships come right into Coos Bay. Take a look: The Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain are coming soon to Oregon!...
Delaware is an underrated foodie state, and people are often surprised when we take them to try some of the best food in America. One spot that’s hiding in the First State is a salumeria that makes some of the tastiest homemade meats you’ll ever get the chance to try. There aren’t many salumeria left in Delaware, but luckily, Wilmington residents have access to the best of the best. Facebook / Maiale Deli and Salumeria...
One Oklahoma tradition you don’t want to miss is visiting Morgan’s Bakery in Tahlequah for mouthwatering sweets. For more than 70 years they have been making birthday cakes, pastries, cookies, doughnuts, cinnamon rolls, and pretty much anything sweet you can think of. Morgan’s Bakery opened its doors in 1948 in Tahlequah, and still to this day, bakes many of the same recipes. It’s been a staple in the community with generation after generation visiting, and we think you’re going to love it....
When people think of South Dakota, the last thing that comes to mind is most likely tropical beaches, so tourists and recent transplants are always pleasantly surprised to find that we have more coastline than Florida and tons of beautiful beaches to boot. If the weather is warm and you want a Caribbean-like beach without the Caribbean-like price tag, we recommend visiting this hidden South Dakota beach with super clear waters:...

Top chefs recently ranked the best chocolate chip cookies in the United States and SIX of the top 10 were just across the river in New York City. Favorites included the Triple Chocolate Chip Cookie at Breads Bakery, Chocolate Chunk Cookie at Dominique Ansel, Double Chocolate Chunk Cookie at Trademark Taste + Grind, and Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookie at Levain Bakery. While all are delicious, delectable delights, I think the Garden State does cookies better....

Des Moines is a unique city that’s truly underrated. While many people dismiss all of Iowa as a flyover state, we know about the quirky gems that are hiding around every corner here, and Des Moines is truly the capital of it all – especially when it comes to food. Not only will you find a Zombie-themed Burger Bar and a Chinese Food Pizza Parlor, but you can also step right back into the 1960s with a visit to the coolest retro restaurant in Iowa....
For decades now, this family-owned and operated diner has been serving up amazing food to New Mexicans in Albuquerque, and along the way the restaurant became notorious for one ridiculous meal. After a patron came in and asked for a burrito with “everything but the kitchen sink,” a gigantic, over 8-pound burrito was born and has since earned its claim to fame. If you can devour a full Travis, you’ll be one of very few....
2019 has had one of the most confusing winters in recent history and – unfortunately – there is no sign of it coming to an end for close to another month. One of the many news-making events from this winter is the number of notable avalanches we have experienced, which got us thinking… just how common are these massive snow slides in Colorado? While they are not nearly as common as they once were, Colorado has seen its fair share of terrible avalanches, including these five that were particularly deadly....
