Kansas City BBQ |
 |
In the heartland, there are lots of 'cue places to get fired up about. A visit reveals old faves and surprises.
Please don't tell the family this, but they're not the only reason I return to Kansas City whenever I can. I love them, of course, but I can talk to them on the phone. We can e-mail. We can Twitter, for crying out loud. ¶ But barbecue is something you have to do in person. And it is best done here in the Heartland. Sorry, Santa Maria, no disrespect to your juicy tri-tip. Forgive me, Lexington, N.C. Your pulled pork is fabulous. And a tip of the hat to you, Memphis. Ribs at the Rendezvous are always memorable. ¶ But Kansas City has made an art of this science of slow-smoked meats. So when business brought me back for 36 hours last month, I knew I could partake at least five times if I didn't mind barbecue for a late breakfast. And I didn't, mostly. But I'll explain that in a minute. ¶ What I want to explain now is how Kansas City became a barbecue mecca and why you're not going to hear me talk extensively about Arthur Bryant's or Gates. |

Undressed to the Nines in Oregon |
 |
In Portland, nothing says 'hip hotel' like nude mannequins in the lobby. Relax, Mom and Dad -- a few conventional touches and a friendly staff widen the appeal and make for an enjoyable stay.
Guests checking into the Nines hotel in this city's downtown area enter a relatively nondescript space at street level and are then guided to the eighth floor for an appointment at the front desk. When the elevator doors open, "non- descript" no longer applies. |

John Dillinger tours look at his life and crimes |
 |
Several Chicago-area tourist attractions prepare for the barrage of visitors that the new Johnny Depp film is expected to bring.
It must have been hard for most folks (with the exception of FBI agents) not to take a shine to the gentlemanly John Dillinger. His chosen career was one that -- during the Great Depression -- seemed almost noble: He robbed banks. |
