Fort Worth's Coyote Drive-In in 'Nostalgia Front & Center in Some U.S. Museums & Eateries'

Louis Kaplan is channeling his childhood.  While a youngster, he collected baseball cards which he stored in boxes and treasured as souvenirs of the USA's favorite pastime.  Decades later, he’s reliving that time while visiting the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, upstate New York.  Opportunities to recapture memories from the past are of course not limited to baseball, nor to New York. From Coca-Cola to cars, movies to museums, chapters of times gone by await…

4 Movies to Watch Before Visiting South Korea

Hi All! I am a great fan of South Korean culture, people, movies and TV series. That's why I am planning a trip to visit this beautiful country in September with my family and few friends. Because I have only a few weeks to spend there, that's why I want to explore its finest places. I found few movies worth watching before the journey to South Korea, but it would be beneficial if you also share your suggestions and experiences. Seoul Searching: It is the best movie to watch if you want to…

More than a half century after 'Jaws,' Martha's Vineyard is still quite a catch

 Vidu Gunaratna Some time ago I happened to run across that toothy old classic Jaws online, and as I watched, the impossibly picturesque maritime settings and endless beaches awakened in me a nostalgia for the light, colours, sounds, and tastes of summertime holidays. It was then I discovered that the film's fictional Amity Island is actually ritzy Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, a 45-minute to hourlong ferry ride from Cape Cod. Come summer, one of the USA's most exclusive (and expensive)…

    I'm definitely not a fan of 'Emily in Paris," but for those who are, the media has been all over the locations for the show, such as this piece from Time Out: https://www.timeout.com/paris/en/emily-in-paris-filming-locations

    The world's newest theme park has opened east of Nagoya City, Japan - by train, less than two hours north of Tokyo and less than an hour from Osaka and Kyoto. But Ghibli Park is fairly narrow in its focus on the animated movies and series of Ghibli Studios, and it has no rides, but is rather a 17½-acre indoor indoor "town" filled with streets, exhibits and famous scenes from Studio Ghibli's films including Princess Mononoke, My Neighbor Totoro, and Castle in the Sky.

    New York City is possibly the all-time most popular backdrop for movies of all kinds, and several local tour operators have taken advantage of this. Here's one with a tour of locations for romantic comedies: https://www.frommers.com/blogs/passportable/blog_posts/nyc-rom-com-...

    Just saw "Uncharted" last night - silly but quite a ride (not surprising, since it was adapted from a video game) - but one of the things I especially liked about it was seeing locations in Barcelona - the Sagrada Familia, Montjuich, the Barri Gòtic, Santa Maria del Pi, and so forth! Here's the trailer: https://youtu.be/eHp3MbsCbMg
