Williams, Arizona, USA

Thanksgiving is over. Let the ride to Christmas begin! It is now, on this Monday after Thanksgiving, socially acceptable to proudly display your winter decorations. As for those who got Santa and the reindeer out of the attic on the day after Halloween: Shame on you! [2019]

Cape May, New Jersey, USA

The Cape-to-Cape ferry across the mouth of the Delaware River connects Cape Henlopen, Delaware, with Cape May, New Jersey, where an historic light tower and beautiful broad beaches beckon the year around. [2020]

Lewes, Delaware, USA

Everyone who takes the Cape-to-Cape ferry across the mouth of the Delaware River gets to see Lewes's Harbor of Refuge Light. Wouldn't we all like to find a beacon of hope guiding us into our own personal harbor of refuge right now? Can you name the two capes connected by the ferry? [2020]

Narragansett, Rhode Island, USA

By virtue of its nickname, the Ocean State, Rhode Island has an enviable caboodle of lighthouses. Some, like Point Judith Light, are on extremities of the mainland; others are on islands; and still others are on the rivers that drain into the Narragansett Bay. Let's all give thanks for America's lighthouses. [2019]

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

People of Toronto: The Annex is a popular student-oriented neighborhood of Toronto that exhibits all the fine qualities of mixed-used development: plentiful services, arts opportunities, convenience, and walkability, all on top of a land use plan that was born almost 150 years ago. [2011]

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

People of Toronto: The Baldwin Steps (110 of them) transcend an escarpment that marks the edge of Lake Ontario's Pleistocene predecessor. Just think: They were almost wiped off the city's cultural landscape in the 1960s by an expressway! Now they are a major open space resource and recreational corridor. [2010]
