January 20th of 2009 was an important day in American history. The words “change” and “hope” were heard that afternoon in Washington, D.C., as Barack Obama became the 44th President of the United States. Don’t miss a word of his speech!

Penguins in Oklahoma? Don’t be surprised! Also, we found a perfect place for meat lovers. The walls at Elmer’s are a testimony of all the famous people who’ve stopped by to enjoy some food. And don’t miss the legendary waitress!

Melrose is well known for the chic chicks cliché, but walking around these surprisingly friendly streets we found out that the spiritual way leads to less tips and that you can find almost everything that you want in Melrose except a famous skeleton.

Lamb meatballs! Lamb meatballs! Here at Yabla we love food as much as Anthony Rico, a chef with street cred, loves his lamb meatballs!

Oxford, Mississippi is described as a fine, small, southern town but there is definitely something that makes it stand out from other fine, small, southern towns: it’s the home of William Faulkner’s tomb, not only a great destination for literary tourism but also for the most bohemian expressions of Oxford’s alcohol-fueled youth. Music, food, friends, books, and booze? What more could you ask for?
