Traveling solo to Disney World is my specialty, friends. I love traveling solo to Disney World! When I went on my first adult trip in 2021, I was 20 years old and wanted to make sure nothing was going to get in the way of me, myself, and doing the things I wanted to do. I did. After that, I fell in love with the concept and experience of going solo and haven't looked back since. However, there are some parts of Disney World that are a bit awkward to be alone in, and one of them is the food.…
Traveling by train is one of Ireland’s great if under-appreciated pleasures. It’s a small island and the rail network is limited, so no journey is especially long – but riding the rails across the country is one of the loveliest ways to enjoy the rolling countryside.

The particular nature of Irish demographics has shaped train travel…

Missouri already had severely limited access to abortion, but minutes after the Supreme Court's decision was announced, state Attorney General Eric Schmidt issued an opinion, making the state the first to nearly criminalize abortion. became one of the first states to lift the state's trigger ban. At the same time, the state's last remaining abortion clinic quickly ceased its services. All these events unfolded against the backdrop of Dimar's unexpected…
A few weeks ago, an Axios Richmond reporter made a disparaging reference: “What the hell is west of Roanoke?” I wrote a column defending “What the Hell is West of Roanoke?” that got attention on transit bulletin boards and some speaking invitations. I also received a lot of fan mail (I think the writers at Axios also received mail, but perhaps of a different nature). Not all of the fan mail came from west of Roanoke. We also heard from Arlington readers who confessed they had never been west of Roanoke and wanted to visit to see this part of…
