But now The Wall Street Journal is reporting that counties in North Dakota, South Dakota, Michigan, Alabama, Pennsylvania, and Ohio are deliberately grinding up their paved roads as a way to save money. Embarrassing? The idea of [...]]]></description>

It got so crazy, we thought, that North Dakota even erected a twice-life-size statue of &#8220;Seaman,&#8221; their dog. Lewis and Clark have since faded from public view &#8212; they&#8217;ll [...]]]></description>

Eerie day-glo exoticism is a popular feature at haunted houses, mystery spots, and classic amusement park &#8220;dark rides&#8221; (many of which have undergone klutzy re-branding, Kennywood&#8217;s &#8220;Garfield&#8217;s Nightmare&#8221; being [...]]]></description>
