Kansas City BBQ
In the heartland, there are lots of 'cue places to get fired up about. A visit reveals old faves and surprises.
<br/><br/>
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.
<br/><br/>
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.

Shorebreak Hotel in Huntington Beach is family friendly
The chic Shorebreak is welcoming to kids and dogs. The location and prices are attractive, but there are some kinks to work out.
<br/><br/>
The new Shorebreak Hotel in Huntington Beach is a lesson for the image-obsessed: Once you give up trying to be relentlessly hip, it's easier to relax.

Saint Louis Brewery leads microbrew market
Craft brewers are fueling a robust industry that's tapped into what St. Louis locals and visitors like.
<br/><br/>
It's officially called the Saint Louis Brewery, but no, it's not that St. Louis brewery, the one with the Clydesdales and the stadium that bears its name and the beer that everyone knows comes from here.

Sweet deals on upscale hotels
Luxury hotels, hit hard by the downturn, really want your business. Expect rate cuts and credits, and an emphasis on guest relations.
<br/><br/>
There are deals to be had. Hotels need you, and they need your money, and in this time of downturn, they aren't going to let rooms stand empty if they can generate some cash.

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.
<br/><br/>
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.
