Ocean Spray brings its bog to the 2013 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival
10/08/2013 by
I’ve had a craving for cranberries for as long as I can remember. Always my favorite food at Thanksgiving, it took me a while to figure out that you can buy cranberry sauce year-round (I’m sort of a slow learner), but once I did, I ate the stuff constantly (just ask my roommates). That was […]
Athleta is coming to Richmond, Virginia at Short Pump Town Center
10/02/2013 by
When I find something I like, I tend to stick with it. I’ve used the same brand of pen for nearly 20 years (Pilot, in case you’re wondering), and I’ve owned a Ford for at least 18 years. Clothing, on the other hand, is something I’m a little more fickle about. If it fits and […]
Howl-O-Scream 2013: Busch Gardens ups the ante for Halloween events everywhere
09/20/2013 by
How do you take an already great Halloween event and make it even better? If you’re an ordinary theme park, you add themed dining to the venue and call it a day. If you’re Busch Gardens, you add themed dining and insert amazingly talented actors into it for an extraordinary dinner theatre experience. Oh, […]
Busch Gardens goes back to Basics with Targeted Grazing
09/12/2013 by
The world’s most beautiful park is going “baaaaaack” to the basics (pardon the puns, but there will probably be more) with its latest low-tech approach to landscaping. The park has added its flock of 17 Scottish black-face sheep to the gardening staff. This crew doesn’t care about perks, paychecks or pension plans. Usually seen at […]
Busch Gardens’ Howl-O-Scream 2013: The Story of Ripper Row
09/09/2013 by
I love a good storyline. Whether it’s a movie, a themed restaurant or the completely immersive feel of a well set theme park, the story behind the setting is almost as good as the activity, situation or event itself. Busch Gardens Williamsburg does a great job with the settings of their European villages and depictions […]
Darius Rucker Rocks Richmond at Innsbrook After Hours
09/06/2013 by
Newly appointed Grand Ole Opry member and front man of Hootie and the Blowfish, Darius Rucker performed to a sold out crowd at Richmond’s Innsbrook After Hours concert series. The Thursday, September 6 performance at the Snagajob Pavilion just snagged its place at the top of my list of best concerts ever. Brinn Black, a […]

At the stroke of 6:00 on Friday the 13th Busch Gardens Williamsburg will lift the veil on its charming European villages to reveal the dark side of the gardens in what looks to be the scariest Howl-O-Scream yet. New for 2013 is the introduction of Terror-tories and an all-new haunted house. Here’s a brief teaser […]

08/21/2013 by
You can’t keep a good man down. Or even, so it seems, a dead one. Season three is the scene and Universal Studios Hollywood and Orlando are the stages for the Emmy-Award winning AMC series “The Walking Dead” as it makes its second year run at Halloween Horror Nights (HHN). Universal Orlando is dedicating its […]
