Re: A weekend...I don't know where...

Rob, I thought of you when I first found this...it sounds like you and me: Anything to be on the road, hardly matters where!

Re: A weekend...I don't know where...
The cost seems pretty reasonable too. It is a good idea because it exposes you to cities that you wouldn't of picked on your own. Sometimes those cities end up being your favorites. I think TG's destination page is like that too. I now want to go so many places that were not remotely on my radar.

Atlanta Cyclorama: Fake News Ain't New

Comment
Re: Atlanta Cyclorama: Fake News Ain't New
I was impressed with the decision to interpret the Cyclorama less in terms of the battle and more in terms of how it has been used to win the information/disinformation war—a very pertinent question today as we look around us at “competing narratives” and “alternate facts.”
