Creepy Halloween Lodgings
by Steve West on October 20, 2008

These creepy places to stay during a Halloween vacation may be too late to consider this year but they're not going anywhere soon so keep them in mind for the future. You can't stay in all of these places but for those that you can, there's that extra layer of creepiness.
The Haunted Hull House in Chicago. Let's get out of here Raggy!
Nighttime tour of Alcatraz. That place is creepy enough in the daytime.
The Crescent Hotel and Spa Sleep in a morgue.
The Lizzie Borden murder house is now a bed and breakfast! Would you like your grapefruit in 40 or 41 slices?
Merry England. Birthplace of the Tower of London, Jack the Ripper, and the Berry Pomeroy Castle.

The Green Thing
While checking out at the grocery, I overheard the young cashier suggest to an older woman in front of me, that she should bring her own grocery bags because plastic bags weren’t good for the environment. The woman apologized and explained, “We didn’t have this green thing back in my early days.” The clerk responded, “That’s our problem today. Go »
Santa Claus Can Kiss My Ass
That title is almost blasphemous in the American belief system, I know. We took the girls to a local ice cream store, Coldstone's, to get ice cream and to see and get a photograph taken with Santa. It occured to me that Santa gets a lot of credit for stuff that I do and provide. Go »
