Hollywood Blvd

August 7, 2018 by jennifermdarling

I’ve never spent time in Hollywood, until now. It’s funny to visit a place you’ve seen countless times in TV and in movies: the Walk of Fame, the Chinese Theater, and the sign posted clearly in the hills just in case you forget the name of the joint. I have to admit, it’s dirtier than I imagined, and just as crowded as I thought it’d be. But I found a little oasis in The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. It was built […]

Jenny Does Dallas

June 26, 2018 by jennifermdarling

I spent the weekend with my sweet parents in Dallas a while back. We stayed in a delightful little AirBnB (take a look at it here). It’s been so long since I’ve visited the DFW area, and I was surprised how much it changed. The Deep Ellum District is a really fun spot with lots of art to see and things to do. I’m apparently the last person from Texas to find out about it. It has a strong Austin-vibe […]

Exploring Omaha, Nebraska

April 19, 2018 by jennifermdarling

One weekend, I made the long drive to Omaha to see Son Little perform and Jade Bird perform at Reverb Lounge. It was a blast. There must have only been about 20 of us in a very small room. It was the most intimate concert I’ve ever been to. Aaron Earl Livingston (that’s Son Little’s name) is so talented–and it was as if he were talking to us all individually. We stayed at the Courtyard Marriott downtown. I wouldn’t recommend […]

exploring Big Bend, Mars on Earth

April 3, 2018 by jennifermdarling

Big Bend is a big, beautiful national park in west Texas. When people who aren’t from Texas picture Texas, this is what they imagine. I went exploring with friend around the park. We found a hot springs and few of us were brave enough to float down the Rio Grande. Stay tuned for a Mars themed surprise at the end of the post.
