Bruggeing Tourism
Bruges, Belgium is a gorgeous, and it’s a miracle of history that it has survived this long in its condition. I can’t believe it’s still also a real, working, thriving city. It’s one of those places you have to go see, and I’m glad I did. That said, when you’ve heard about over tourism, this…

DAR Library
I visited a new library last week, one that DC uniquely offers: The Daughter’s of the American Revolution (DAR) Museum Library. It was extraordinary. Even from the outside you could tell it was going to be an amazing place. You then walk in and it’s even better than you hope: The long tables, the adornment,…

AI Usage
AI is in the news all the time now. Every day we read & hear about new companies, tools, uses, and problems to be solved with them. However, in my world, nobody really seems to be talking about them much. Since I’m a lone wolf right now building out Drink•Eat•Walk, this makes it hard for…

Atlas Mapping
I love maps, and have lots of them up on my walls. I also have a great National Geographic Atlas that’s so much fun to browse through, or look for specific things in. It’s kinda big, though, and a tad annoying to pull off the shelf and open up. I’ve always wanted to just have…

Duluth, Minnesota
After North Dakota, I knew I was headed Minneapolis, but first needed to kill a few days somewhere else in Minnesota. So, I pulled up Google Maps, looked to find city name I recognized & that was east of Fargo. Hello Duluth! Needless to say, I knew nothing about it prior to my arrival. Getting…

Coeur d’Alene Library
Yep, I’m posting about a library again. But I’m not sorry, I just love ‘em, and these Inland Pacific Northwest (a term I learned on this trip) towns all seem to have a great one. Nobody would judge me if I was posting about cute & cozy little coffee shops, and that’s how I treat…

Spokane, Washington
I walked from the cruise ship dock to the Seattle bus station, and quickly realized this next journey was going to be very, very different from the cruise. From a floating resort to… My first stop was Spokane, WA, a five hour bus ride. I’ll do a post later about bus-riding, but this one was…

Residential Library
There’s a library in North Wales that is both a working public library AND a bed & breakfast. Here’s an article about it from someone who stayed there → https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20231022-gladstones-the-uks-only-residential-library I don’t really think about or keep a travel bucket list, but this place is now on it. Maybe it’s because I’m not going to…

Cleveland Park Library
I seem to write about libraries so much, maybe I should just make this a library blog, where I travel around the city, region, country, world, and work out of different libraries. The work would then be writing about the libraries. This type of meta-work is how many income-independent folks like me are hustling to…

West End Library
I know I’ve written about it before, but the West End library in DC really is a great place to work out of. It’s in a nice part of the city, so is also a little bit calmer than other outlets. Bonus: It has a juicy history involving Ralph Nader. And VP Harris once lived…

MLK Library
I worked out of MLK Library in DC today. What a great place! It has lots of spots to work, a good cafe with some of the cheapest good coffee I’ve had in the city, and is filled with a wonderful cross-section of folks. The renovation was a grand success.

Library week finale was at Arlington Central Library. I spent like four hours here today. JK, I just had to go to the bathroom — libraries are great!

Today’s library week destination was the West End Library It’s one of the newest, and just perfect. Located in a fancy condo building, it has a Bluestone Lane attached to it, adding some wonderful cafe chatter as background white noise. That said, library visits are proving to be boring. I wanted to leave as soon…

Library week! Kicked it off with the Southwest Neighborhood Library It’s a new & nice one, built to handle the diverse audience they’re serving these days. The folks there during my visit reflected this: Old people reading newspapers Tech bro on his laptop w/ an extra monitor setup Flirting teens pretending to look for book…
