I first encountered a rat one evening in a Target parking lot. When my daughter told me it was a rat, I went straight to the car and she went to get a photo of it since she's never seen one before. I assure you it wasn't little.

Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

Florida has plenty of historic restaurants that are fun to visit. Examples are the No Name Pub in Big Pine Key, Joe's Stone Crab in Miami, and The Seminole Inn in Indiantown. However, neither is fast food. And Love Food recently named Florida's "most historic" fast food restaurant. It's not a chain, but it does have an interesting story.

Cody Roberts walked into the Green River Bar joking that he’d found a lost cattle dog. The woman tending bar that evening seemed to know what would happen next. “The bartender goes, ‘Cody, you better not bring in a fucking lion,’” an eyewitness recalled. “She knew he was going to bring something in that was not a dog.”

When homes are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it usually means there will be an intended purpose to keep the structure alive whether it’s through historic restoration, repurposing, or general maintenance. Sometimes, too, these places get demolished.

Kentucky coach Mark Pope never played high school basketball in the Bluegrass State. If you didn’t know any better, you would think he has bled Blue all of his life. His three seasons at Kentucky from 1994-96, including a year he had to sit out because of NCAA transfer rules in place at the time, was all it took for Pope to understand what it means to wear the Blue-and-White jersey.

If you're from the Ozarks region of Missouri, you might have heard people talk about the old type of medicinal cure known as the madstone. It's hard to tell if it's true or false without personal experience, or at least whether someone in a family's long history line was treated with one of these stones.

There's arguably something very special about a diner. They feel nostalgic, serve comfort food, and are often inexpensive. Some may remember eating at diners with parents or grandparents, which contributes to warm feelings even more.

JACKSON HOLE—A scrunched, humbled look broke out on Tim Mangold’s face as he gripped the little, lone antler he carried out of the western Wyoming mountains on Wednesday. The 59-year-old affable Darby, Montana man — a hunting outfitter, woodworker and father of seven — had had quite the day.
