(c) Matt Green Every city has its secrets, it’s just a matter of finding them… On a street in Brooklyn that takes you towards the river, where the cobblestones begin paving the road, there is a townhouse that deserves a second look. Despite its impeccable brickwork, number 58 Joralemon Street is not like the [...]
When our favorite movies would end and the credits rolled, we couldn’t help but continue dreaming about the stories and the characters. Where filmmakers had skimmed over small details, we dove in and swam around in a sea of untold scenes. I’ve recently stumbled upon a literary treasure trove online called Timothy McSweeney’s Internet Tendency [...]
Piccasso is probably most famous for his affairs, his extravagant bohemian lifestyle, oh and his art too, but he’s probably less remembered as the guy who was suspected of stealing the Mona Lisa from the Louvre in 1911. On August 22nd of 1911, Parisian artist Louis Béroud, famous for painting and selling his copies of [...]

Hey 90s kids! Remember this show? The one you’d race home from school for to watch on Nickelodeon with an ice cold bowl of cereal? Good times, good times. Well today I learned that Ryan Gosling starred in an episode called The Tale of Station 109.9! Not the spookiest one I’ve seen I have to [...]
If there was ever a time to get arrested and have your mug shot taken, the 1920s was it! The creator of a new Tumblr, ‘Mugshot Doppelganger‘ says, “the tacky looking mugshots we have today are in stark contrast to the mugshots taken in the 1920’s. Vintage mugshots have an eerie beauty to them that’s [...]
The Golden Ticket worth every penny… Imagine without hesitating, you could fly to Paris, just to catch the latest exhibition at the Grand Palais, pick up a friend who needed a lift from Milan, maybe swing by the Greek Islands for dinner and be back home the next morning in time for breakfast. In 1981, [...]
Hey folks, I’m back in Paris from my road trip, back on the blog and I’ll do my best to save you from the relentless Olympic media coverage you’ve been cruelly subjected to on the net recently. But first, I need to do a little round-up of what I’ve missed this week while I was [...]
This is in fact the second annual Hipster Olympics (I don’t know how I dared miss the first one) and it was held in Berlin over the weekend. Participants in the games competed in events such as the vinyl-spinning contest, the moustache finger-tattooing race and the ‘skinny jeans tug-o-war’. Of course, true hipsters (who would [...]
