Nägeligasse – Bern, Switzerland

Normally when we at JMO blog about locations, it's not about a specific street. Most streets you walk down because they're on the map. There are a few streets however, that you walk on because the street itself is famous - like Hollywood Blvd, or the Royal Mile in Edinburgh, Scotland. And then there are streets you walk down because…...

The Dram – Greenville, Delaware

Here's something that will make you feel like you're in on a secret. Most people drive right past it. The sign out front doesn't have a light on it, which makes finding the place at night a minor adventure in itself. It's tucked into a small shopping center on Kennett Pike in Greenville — not the kind of location you stumble into by accident (although we did, cos you know that's what we do), and not the kind of place that announces itself from the road with neon and noise....

A Schnapps Hike? Schnappsbrunnenwege! – Sasbachwalden, Germany

Reading this article will completely reframe your idea of what a hike is supposed to feel like. Wonderfully tucked the rolling hills of Germany's Black Forest, local families decided the best way to welcome strangers onto their land was to leave out bottles of homemade schnapps, set up a small tray of glasses, and trust that whoever walked past would pour themselves a measure, drop the requested euro or two into a little tin box, and carry on down the trail with a warm glow and a very large smile....

Carli’s Fine Bistro & Piano Bar

In Old San Juan, where blue cobblestones meet centuries-old balconies and the hum of nightlife drifts through narrow streets, there’s a place where music doesn’t just play—it unfolds as if alive. Tucked into this historic district is Carli’s Fine Bistro & Piano Bar, a venue that feels less like a restaurant and more like stepping into someone’s lifelong passion. We at JMO call this yet another "accidental finding"....

Walking Dunes Trail & Observation Tower – Cape Henlopen State Park, Lewes, Delaware

It sounds crazy, but it is real, we've seen it ourselves. The Dune That Moved Long before the trail was created, the Walking Sand Dune was already famous — and in motion. The Great Dune moved inland at such a steady rate it earned the nickname "Galloping Dune." Locals called it the "Walking Sand Dune." Generations of local kids ran across the top of the 20-plus feet of loose dune, then — launched themselves off the top: running jumps, somersaults, arms-out tumbles on the way to the bottom....

Paul Reed Smith Guitars – A Factory Tour Worth Every Mile

I'll be honest with you — I wasn't entirely sure Paul Reed Smith would even remember me. It had been over thirty years since we'd crossed paths, and the man has built one of the most celebrated guitar companies on the planet since then. But the moment I started talking to him at the start of the tour, Paul looked at me, tilted his head, and said, "One thing I do, is recognize people I've met before." Just like that....

Pinchot Trail

If you’re looking for a fresh-air escape into northeastern Pennsylvania, the 23-mile Pinchot Trail loop offers the perfect blend of wilderness solitude and backcountry comfort.

Big Elk Creek State Park

There’s a quiet kind of place where the map feels bigger than it looks at first glance—a place where a short trail can unfold into something much larger if you let it. Big Elk Creek State Park is exactly that kind of place, especially when you enter from the understated access point along Strickersville Road. The Park At first, it doesn’t announce itself loudly....
