Beautiful, Interesting, Fun & Historical Things I like

N601ME was one of only two MD-88 used by the Milwaukee-based Midwest Express on its transcontinental services to Los Angeles, CA, and Phoenix, AZ - San Diego, CA. For a really small niche player in the US mainline market, Midwest's network spanned a surprising distance, allowing travel from East Coast destinations such as Boston, MA, Fort Lauderdale, FL or Washington DC via Milwaukee, WI, to the US Southwest and the West Coast, albeit with often just one daily departure in many of these markets.

Many grand aristocratic palaces line Via Garibaldi in Genoa, Italy. Of special note are the three 16th century mansions comprising the Musei di Strada Nuova cultural complex: the Palazzo Doria Tursi, Palazzo Bianco, and Palazzo Rosso.
