  1. Weekend Escape: Ely brings Nevada's Old West to life

    Motorists have plenty of reasons to stop in Las Vegas, but for those whose final destination is Ely, Nev., the most important is gas. That's because the three-hour drive north on U.S. 93 is filled with so much nothing that they'll start to ask themselves two questions: First, have those scientists who claim our planet is overpopulated ever driven this route? Second, does Ely, a town of about 4,000, really exist? The answer to the latter, thankfully, is yes.

  2. The Mark Twain House in Hartford Featuring 'Cat Art'

    Sam "Mark Twain" Clemens had cats. Not the <em>lolz </em>kind, real ones. At least three of them, with names like "Satan," "Pestilence" and "Famine." (Pretty much sums up how many of us feel about cats too.) Earlier this month, the Mark Twain house opened <em>The Countess and Her Cats</em>, a new exhibit of works by artist and children's books illustrator Cynthia von Buhler (that's her work above), who also creates elaborate 3-D dioramas and models. Because her work appeals to the youngest among us, the Twain house will host two events for children: a Halloween Tea Party with the Countess (Oct. 27 at 2 p.m.), which is a pre-Halloween dress-up bash featuring tea with the artist, and a mid-December diorama workshop with Buhler, which happens just in time to make gifts for grandma and grandpa. (Hope they dig cats.) <em>The Countess &amp; Her Cats </em>runs until Jan. 15.

  4. Field Museum birds are in fine feather

    A good museum is constantly revising and reinventing itself. So it is that the Field's newly named Ronald and Christina Gidwitz Hall of Birds reopened Tuesday after an extensive renovation.

  6. Cantigny garden bursts with ideas

    Many people visit Cantigny Park in Wheaton, Illinois, for the 27-hole golf course or the prized military museum, which features impressive exhibits of the 1st Infantry Division's war efforts, and an outdoor collection of refurbished tanks. The 500-acre park is the former estate of Colonel Robert McCormick, an editor and publisher of the Chicago Tribune, who was a 1st Division commander at the Battle of Cantigny in France during World War I.

  12. 'Nutshell' murder dioramas arrive on film

    A man hangs from a rope connected to the beam of a barn, his feet smashing through a wooden crate so he looks like he's cut off at the knees. His wife explains that when he was angered or annoyed, he would go to that spot, get up on a bucket, put a noose around his neck and threaten suicide. On the fatal day, she placed the bucket elsewhere, so he grabbed the crate.
