For those folks in the Washington, D.C. area there is some exciting news for your innards in the works. Local establishment, Ben's Chili Bowl, is in talks right now with the Washington Nationals for a possible spot among food vendors at the Nats' new park. Nothing has been officially determined, but according to Ben's co-owner -- Kamal Ali -- there seems to be a very good chance for an agreement as the discussion progresses."We've got a brand new stadium, and we want to give the people what they want so that it's a win-win situation. Right now we're just trying to move the conversation along until it's a done deal."What this deal would mean is that Ben's Chili Bowl will have an outpost at the ballpark featuring almost the exact same menu as the one featured at their landmark location on U Street. Locals will then be able to enjoy some of the eatery's most famous items at the game including half-smokes, chili dogs and burgers. For you out-of-towners (myself included), I have do

The Moonlight Mid Mod Bus Tour – Part 4
It took something REALLY exciting like a moonlight bus tour of Modernist Las Vegas to get me onto the strip on a Friday Night. But there we were looking for the original site of one of the preeminate photos of all time (as far as Vintage Las Vegas is concerned).
MM figured out from satellite photos of then and now exactly where the photo was taken. Well, exactly within about 10 feet. So that’s where we took the group photo of everyone on the bus tour.
The spot is now the front sidewalk of the Venetian.
And that’s the first time in 20 years anyone’s managed to make me go on the strip on a weekend night.
