Spotlight on Park City, Utah: Sundance Film Festival and Beyond
Published on 28 Jan, 2011 at 14:09 in Travel | | No Comments
From a creative, low-key start by Robert Redford in sleepy Park City, Utah, thirty years ago, Sundance Film Festival has exploded into one of the world’s most prestigious (and certainly high-profile) celebrations of cutting-edge filmmaking. So much for the intention to reject the glamour of the Cannes and Venice film festivals. Today Park City has blossomed…

In addition to the tallest, most spectacular peaks in the state, there’s a diverse wildlife population that includes wolves, grizzly bears, Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep, and antelope.

Santiago Travel Guide
Santiago doesn’t get the same press as Rio or Buenos Aires, but this metropolis of 5 million people anchoring the Chilean axis is as cosmopolitan as its flashier South American neighbors, if in a bit more subdued way. Ancient and modern stand side by side in the heart of the city—the neoclassical cathedral reflected in the glass…

Fort Lauderdale and Broward County Travel Guide
Collegians of the 1960s returning to Fort Lauderdale would be hard-pressed to recognize the onetime “Sun and Suds Spring Break Capital of the Universe.” Back then, Fort Lauderdale’s beachfront was lined with T-shirt shops, and downtown consisted of a lone office tower and dilapidated buildings waiting to be razed.
The beach and downtown have…

The Tampa Bay Area Travel Guide
Planning and preserves have partially shielded pockets of the Tampa Bay Area from the overdevelopment that saturates much of the Atlantic coast. Tampa has Florida’s third-busiest airport and a vibrant business community and is one of the state’s largest metro areas. Even so, it is less fast-lane than Miami.
Whether you feel…

Bucks County Travel Guide
Bucks County, about an hour’s drive northeast of Philadelphia, could have remained 625 square mi of sleepy countryside full of old stone farmhouses, lush hills, and covered bridges if it hadn’t been “discovered.” First, New York artists and intelligentsia bought country homes here in the ’30s. More recently, suburbanites and exurbanites bought or built year-round…
