Noticing the garbage cans full of disposable plastic products and the massive amounts of...

My favorite pastime is riding the roller coasters at America's Amusement parks. Hershey, Dorney, Six Flags Great Adventure, Cedar Point...oh how I love them all.

I think a season pass is $50. I had off yesterday,...

I love traditional amusement parks, if only for their always interesting histories and pop culture influences. On a recent trip to Erie, Pennsylvania, I jumped at the opportunity to spend a couple hours strolling through Waldameer Park, a small but still lively traditional park that has been in operation since 1896.
