Lions Gate Bridge, Vancouver, British Columbia
Linking the city of Vancouver to North Vancouver, the sprawling Lions Gate Bridge has been a West Coast landmark since it opened in 1938. The road leading to the bridge cuts through leafy Stanley Park, a remarkably controversial route at the time of the bridge’s construction. The bridge is named after “the Lions,” a pair of nearby mountain peaks, and its south entrance also features two concrete lion sculptures by artist Charles Marega. |

ALABAMA: The Mugshot Burger at Mugshots Grill & Bar (Multiple Locations)
Mugshots has a heavy bar food menu loaded with burgers, like Anthony's Peanut Butter Burger that comes topped with the namesake spread. Also, steer clear of their namesake burger The Mugshot, which features three burger patties, six strips of bacon, and a variety of toppings including french fries and onion rings. On the plus side, if you finish it in 12 minutes it's free. Choose one of their salad or fish options for a healthier choice. © Provided by Eat This, Not That! |

Drink in the History
There’s nothing like a few centuries of history to accompany a drink, which is perhaps why so many different bars, pubs, inns and taverns like to advertise the year they were founded. From pubs claiming to be among the world’s oldest to bars that have hosted luminaries or witnessed significant events unfold, these are some of the most historic drinking spots around the world. It’s worth checking the latest travel restrictions and individual bar websites before travelling in case of any temporary closures or altered opening hours. © Caron Badkin/Shutterstock |

The 40 Watt Club has played a vital role in developing the new wave, punk rock and college rock music scenes, as well as helping to put Athens on the musical map. What started as a rehearsal space for the local rock band Pylon quickly morphed into a nightclub that would become the darling of the college town of Athens and beyond. Located just two minutes away from the University of Georgia, 40 Watt Club has helped boost the musical careers of local legends like The Whigs, of Montreal, The B-52’s and most famously R.E.M. Over the years, stalwart audiophiles of all ages have come out to see performers like Patti Smith, Neutral Milk Hotel, Pavement and The Melvins, to name a few. Today, 40-Watt Club still hosts local legends like Drive-By Truckers and has expanded its offerings to include drag shows, DJ nights and a Mini Comic & Zine Festival.

Oracle Park – San Francisco, California
Widely considered one of the most scenic stadiums in the world, Oracle Park in San Francisco was truly a labour of love. MLB.com reports that it was the first privately financed ballpark in Major League Baseball since 1962, opening its doors in 2000 to replace Candlestick Park. Featuring a 2.7-metre (nine-foot) statue of Giants legend Willie Mays at the public entrance and a 24-metre (80-foot) Coca-Cola bottle, it sits on McCovey Cove, where Portuguese water dogs and fans in boats alike fetch home runs that go over the right-field fence and splash down into the water. No matter where you are in the stadium, you have a breathtaking view of the Bay Bridge and the San Francisco marina. © Instagram @oraclepark |

When this person visited the London Eye with his family, he clearly didn’t do any prior research, and didn’t even know what the London Eye was. Apparently, they thought it was some kind of an eye? It’s called an “eye” because it provides a view of the city, not because it’s shaped like an eye. Either way, he was greatly disappointed, and left a rather petty review.

This might be a confusing sight at first, but it’s actually a very smart idea. Instead of having gas pumps on the ground, this gas station in South Korea installed nozzles in the ceiling. This way, you don’t have to worry about pulling up at the right side of the pump – you will always be able to reach your fuel door.

Beijing National Stadium – Beijing, China
Design Build Network notes that the Beijing National Stadium was built to host the 2008 Olympic Games; at three million cubic metres (106 million cubic feet) it was the world’s largest enclosed space at the time of its construction, and also the world’s largest steel structure with 26 kilometres (16 miles) of unwrapped steel used. The circular shape is meant to represent heaven, and its pottery-inspired pattern is what helped to give it its “bird’s nest” nickname. © Shutterstock / SIHASAKPRACHUM |

Musée du Louvre, Paris, France
The Louvre is the world's largest museum and is instantly recognisable with its signature glass pyramid and Baroque façade. Originally built as the Louvre Castle in the late 12th century under the instruction of Philip II, it was decided by the National Assembly during the French Revolution that the building should instead be used as a museum to display the nation's masterpieces. Today, the collection exceeds approximately 38,000 objects, the most famous being Leonardo da Vinci's Mona |

This is a truly versatile picnic table. The same piece of furniture can be used by adults, kids, babies who need a high chair, and people who use wheelchairs. We definitely love how practical and inclusive this is and wish we would see this type of furniture more often in our local parks.

It’s sometimes called “Soccer City” and “The Calabash,” but you can call FNB Stadium in Johannesburg one of the most striking stadiums on the planet. Seating 87,436, it’s the largest venue in South Africa and was the site of the first speech from former President Nelson Mandela in 1990, just a few days after he was released from prison. Designed to look like an African pot, its exterior is a mosaic of fire and earthen colours with a ring of lights along the bottom to simulate fire. And the sightlines are spectacular, with no one seated more than 100 metres (330 feet) from the field, and no restricted views.

Phone booths are definitely not as useful as they were years ago. This is why many of them have been transformed into aquariums in the city of Osaka, Japan. It all started in 2011, when a group of students called Kingyobu (“goldfish club”) started turning old phone booths into lively ecosystems around the city.

While watching this movie, I was unaware of the White Saviour theme it portrayed. I stick by my review and what I liked about it. I'm sorry I don't understand the nuances of race. I'm a work in progress.
