Tuesday Feb 09, 2021
Our journey today definitely spends some time in Europe, as much of America's story does. But it ends in the 1970s, in Lake Havasu, Arizona, where a piece of world history was salvaged for a tourist attraction like no other: The London Bridge

This week, we journey to the world's largest convenience store — Texas' famed Buc-ee's. A place filled with miles of treats and sodas and bathrooms so clean you'll hold it for an extra fifty miles just to use them. It's a chain that's become a legend.

Sunday Jan 17, 2021
It's been called the "King of sodas" and "liquid sunshine," and over the years it's gone through several variations - Red Fusion, Diet Cherry Chocolate, and "made with real sugar," but at the end of the day, the original reigns supreme. In an industry where companies are constantly trying to reinvent themselves, this brand's original formula has stayed near the top of the leader board since it was first introduced over 100 years ago.
This week, the history of Dr. Pepper and the Dr. Pepper museum in Waco, Texas.

Each winter, thousands of people descend upon Alaska in hopes of catching one of the most spectacular light shows on earth. Steeped in legends and myths that can be found in cultures throughout the world, these brilliant lights are one of our most majestic natural wonders, and certainly, one of the most highly photographed. Their presence gives a sense of the otherwordly to a state that already feels far removed from its 49 other brothers and sisters.

It's surely not a stretch for me to say that most people imagine that all the stunning major hotels in the US are in popular tourist destinations. But what if we told you one that has been called the 8th wonder of the world—an architectural marvel with nearly 250 exquisitely appointed suites, a world-class spa, 45 holes of championship golf, and an atrium dome that was once the largest in the world—is in a town called French Lick, Indiana?

The Great River Road follows the Mississippi River’s length, on both sides, providing access to much of this beauty, mixed with the industrial history of America. We’ve covered several Mississippi river towns on this show - Minneapolis, Rock Island, St. Louis, Memphis, New Orleans - but there’s one town where you can get the quintessential Mississippi river experience. A town where much of the popular image of the Mighty Miss’ was born, home to Samuel Clemons, who would use a Mississippi River term to craft his pseudonym: the second mark on the line that measured depth signified two fathoms, or twelve feet—safe depth for the steamboat—Mark Twain.
