Thought it was a great story and it's what brought me back to the site for the first time in a long while. Wanted to see the feedback, or debate, and any inside baseball on how it got done. Surprised it doesn't have its own thread on the journalism board. Amazing reporting and detail and I...

Fast pass is free and everyone can use it. Get the app and/or check it out months in advance of your trip, or as early as possible. Try to map out your plan for a day — which parks, arrival time, etc. — and then schedule the fast passes. The mobile app works pretty well and can easily be...

I know I've been lucky in a lot of ways, but my advice to all would be to explore trade journalism and b2b media. There's so much more out there than newspapers and these jobs are going to pay more with other perks and regular hours. After a bad day as a sports editor for a small, and rapidly...

Not sure if the high rise bridge is any better. Drawbridge slows things down on every hour, by like 5 minutes, but Saturdays could be an hour or two if that's when everyone is leaving/arriving. Getting in mid morning and not checking in or arriving in the evening might save you some headaches...

Crowded in comparison to 30 years ago, but not compared to Myrtle or any higher profile place. Slightly more crowded near the piers and any public beach access. I think this will be the first year in 42 I won't visit Surf City. Parents just moved back north after retiring there full time about...

Didn't mean to read that, but started and couldn't stop. Really good. Don't remember it.

Unrelated, but since I'm on a posting hot streak, Hilton moved its global headquarters from Beverly Hills to McLean when it hired its new CEO, Chris Nassetta, years ago, in part because that's the area he was from. Other reasons too, but that was near the top.

Really enjoyed the (your) story Brandon, and appreciate the story that it ended up being. I think you got the ending right. I'm not writing about sports and topics like this, but I understand your question. You work so heard gaining that trust, getting in the door even, to tell someone's story...

The movies I can't not watch when on: Good Will Hunting Few Good Men Swingers Hunt for Red October Shawshank Redemption Jacob’s Ladder Kicking and Screaming (not Rodney Dangerfield) Hoosiers Mall Rats Field of Dreams Honorable mention: Royal Tenenbaums, Hudsucker Proxy, Searching for Bobby...

This is still not bickering, right?

That may be more a credit to Adam Dunn.

I will also never forget being a little hung over and a lot lazy, and passing on tickets for that the game because the drive in from the Poconos was too far. Sorry to interrupt the bickering. (Never used the quote function, in my years of posting, so also sorry if I screwed this up)

Big fan of Fatheads, Fly. Was just there Friday. In addition to fighting above our weight class in dining, Cleveland also is home to many high quality microbreweries or makers of craft beer or whatever the current lingo is. I don't love Melt, though. A bit too popular.

I work right next door to the Hampton, but unfortunately don't do much drinking around here. Not sure of anything great real close. But within walking distance (3/4 mile or less) are the Warehouse District and E. 4th, as well as the areas around Progressive Field, Quicken Loans Arena and the new...

Probably too late for your Milwaukee trip, but Smyth at the Iron Horse Hotel is excellent, and the entire lobby and other f&b venues (Branded, The Yard) are great places for a drink. My favorite hotel.

Mint Julep at the Willard Hotel in DC is a simple classic.

We went Sarah, too. Great, classic name that's not too popular anymore. Although of course there's another Sarah in our daughter's daycare almost exactly the same age, so they've been together in every room from the start. I think the rest of the kids are named Eva, Ava, Anna, Emily, Emma, Ella...

Wasn't aware Mark had become SE there. Good for him. I guess I was the clown who hired him as a stringer when he was barely out of high school and running his fan website. His "gamers" for his site were well written and critical. Not sure if I've met anyone as passionate for local sports as...

I went the Super Shuttle route from BWI into DC and had no problems. Cheap and effective. You share the ride with others who sign up; you don't need someone with you. From where I'm at, flight options into Dulles or Reagan are way more than from BWI, and involve bad times and connections.

I can't say I understand these opinions either. I think at any level you should want to be first, best and exclusive if at all possible. I'm not going to kneecap the other reporter, but asking and hoping a source doesn't talk to the competition or waits until my story is published is fair game...
