On July 6, 1944, my relative Donald Cook, 9, wandered around outside the remains of the burned big top. He was looking for his mother Mildred Cook and his two younger siblings, Edward & Eleanor. Long post, but it's so important. Time is of the essence; please share widely. #circusfire #hartford 1/19
Three children sitting in order of height in the 1940, each dressed in a German suspender outfit with Peter Pan collar.

After about two decades, I returned to the Tonga Room (actually on the same date that Anthony Bourdain visited back in 2012, I learned). It is a tiki thunderstorm of a place! Adore and thoroughly recommend. I will NOT let even a few years pass by again. #TongaRoom www.timeout.com/usa/news/thi...

This legendary tiki space in San Francisco has thunderstorms and rain
And the band floats around on a boat on the lagoon.

I adore this hotel and hey, it's where the San Francisco Writers Conference will be held next month. I'll be presenting! @sfwc.bsky.social www.timeout.com/san-francisc... @hyattregency.bsky.social #Architecture #Brutalism #Hotel #HyattRegency #SanFrancisco

The largest hotel lobby in the world is right here in SF. Here’s what it’s like to stay there.
Have a memorable stay in an iconic landmark

I love this Black-owned, woman-owned business in Oakland doing sustainable work to keep mannequins out of the grinder, literally: www.timeout.com/san-francisc... . . . #MannequinMadnes #Mannequin #Holiday #Gift #Christmas #Hanukkah #Kwanzaa #Oakland #BlackBusiness #WomanOwned #Quirky #kitsch

Need a kitschy gift idea? Mannequin Madness is your answer.
Put a “butt” in a stocking.

Visited the Elizabeth Cady Stanton Home & the Nat'l Women's Rights Historical Park in New York. If her name isn't familiar, we have her & others to thank for FIGHTING for women to be able to vote in our country. Closed for the season but we peered through windows and sat a spell to rock on the porch

In the department of silly things, today I was thinking about how odd the word "grownups" is: a childish (ironically) combination of words to get to a noun that illustrates some sort of achievement. If I add a mental breath between grown and up ("She's a grown up") it seems even sillier.

Hello, 1st post. I'm a journalist (Time Out, WashPost, WSJ, others) and author (best known book is not well known, The Witch's Trinity). Three days after the election, I visited the Women's Rights National Historical Park and sat in a rocking chair on Elizabeth Cady Stanton's porch. Lots to digest.
