Re: Baseball Hall of Fame - Cooperstown, New York
Thanks Samantha, I'd love to visit Cooperstown. When I saw Hank Aaron's boyhood home at Mobile's minor league stadium with all it's incredible baseball memorabilia, I knew I had to see the Baseball Hall of Fame one day. Thanks for showing me what to expect!

Re: Baseball Hall of Fame - Cooperstown, New York
Hi Rob, it is a really cool place to visit. I had been to the Negro Hall of Fame in Kansas, but not the one in Cooperstown. It was so worth the wait! Thanks for mentioning Aaron's home in Mobile. I would like to see it someday too. Have a great weekend

You can't help but be impressed with the Aaron family after seeing the place! Glad to see the Hall of Fame has a great Hank Aaron section too! My blog on Hank Aaron's childhood home: https://www.travelgumbo.com/blo...ron-s-childhood-home

Re: Banff National Park: Hiking Johnson Lake
Fascinating to see that a hike in such rugged scenery can actually be an easy walk! There must be many more like that, that compare to a serious city walk and not to mountain-climbing. Good!

Re: New code for London's buskers: Sing, share, go, please!
Good to see some common sense rules that street performers,the public,businesses and police can support. Sounds like they struck the right balance . I hope others cities follow London's lead rather that ban all performers if problems arise.

Re: Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Orange Wednesday?
This may go down in retail history as the stingiest promotion ever offered by a corporate entity. Three (3)? Really? Absurd and yet another reason to color HoJo tacky, as well as orange (or maybe that's the same thing).

Re: Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Orange Wednesday?
'Tis true, I fear. The lucky 60 people who mention the special rate on the specified day will get 60% off. It's 60, because it only applies to the first 3 at 20 hotels. I was intrigued because New York at $67 a night was listed on their press release...but at the website for the promotion, clicking on New York gives a New York address, but clicking on the address pulls up a hotel in Bangor, ME. A lovely place, I know...but the morning commute to Manhattan can be a little tough... PS...I just...
