When I was a teenager, during the summer months the most poplar place for my friends and I to hang out was the amusement park at Renfrew and Hastings Street. Back then it was known as “Happy Land” until a big wooden rollercoast was built in 1958 and the park became known as “Playland”. The amusement park had been operating since 1910 when the east end of Vancouver was little more than wilderness with a campsite nearby so that folks could make the trip and spend the weekend.

Any visit to Dublin must also include seeing some of the countryside. The difficult choice will be which way to go – and what to see? There are historical monuments, seaside walks, mountains to climb, and in the case of Glendalough, a 6th century monastic settlement to explore. (map)
St. Kevin founded a monastery in this serene location of County Wicklow beside two lakes. Today, this attraction is not only popular with history buffs, but is a spectacular place to hit the trails with a picnic....

Istanbul’s Blue Wonder – the Sultan Ahmed Camii
Warning: strpos() [function.strpos]: Offset not contained in string. in /var/www/blog/wp-content/themes/ISOMagazine/functions.php on line 317
Let’s be a bit fanciful here. Sultan Ahmed I, who had become king at the early age of 14, was in distress. The wars with Persia had gone badly, finances were not as they should be and he had to look at Hagia Sofia, the most revered mosque at the time, only it wasn’t his. The year was 1609 and he decided to placate Allah and have a monument for his own glory by commissioning the construction of a new mosque which should surpass the Hagia Sofia in splendour and size and please God as well, not...

Houston Photo Friday: Minute Maid Park

Minute Maid Park (map) is home to the Houston Astros. The park bills itself as a “classic old-time park with the amenities of modern ones.” My husband took this photo of the famous engine (it’s a replica) that moves along the exterior walls of the park when an Astro hits a home run, or when the home team wins. The ballpark is built on Houston’s Union Station, and the train is an “homage” to Houston’s ties to the railroad industry. The train used...

After more than a decade in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg, Galapagos Art Space couldn’t afford the rent in its prime North 6th St. location so it moved to over to DUMBO (Down Under The Manhattan Bridge Underpass). This new location and lower rent allows them to focus on nurturing budding artists rather than hosting profit generating club-style parties.

Attention History Buffs: Kilmainham Gaol in Dublin

Dublin has a general reputation for being a city of music, Guinness, and craic. Once visitors arrive, they often discover that Dublin has a fascinating history as well. Political struggle in the last 100 years has brought devastation to the Irish people, from the Easter Rising of 1916 to the Civil War.
While reading about these events is captivating, there’s nothing quite like seeing with your own eyes where historical events took place. No trip to Dublin would be complete without visiting...

There are plenty of nights in Dublin that will end in a pub with a songwriter strumming on a guitar.
