Although many RV lovers would argue that some of the best memories take place on the road, every trip deserves a stellar destination (or at least a pitstop worth writing home about). Today, RV campsites have much more to offer than basic amenities and a...

Big cities are fast-paced and fun, and their museums and historical sites are world-famous. But if you’re looking to explore history in a way that’s more personal and slower-paced, countless small towns across the country are ready and waiting to welcome you.

And also, Buick has suffered as being a tweener brand, as in it was nicer than Chevy but not quite as luxurious as Cadillac. And GM also has the GMC brand that is kind of similar.

My weekly featured cars come to me in many ways. Sometimes it’s a car I saw in a parking lot as I drove by, often it’s one I saw at a car show – like last week’s story about Kevin Williams’ 1950 Cadillac convertible.

My husband got me hooked on listening to podcasts, specifically the “Astonishing Legends” podcast. I am trying to catch up by listening to a couple of episodes per day at work.
