We’ve all done it before: raced to get on a bus or a train, then sat down only to second-guess whether we were even on the right one. If you rely on public transport to get around, you’ve probably come to expect someone to ask, “This is going to this place, right?” as the bus pulls away from the station. The thought of unknowingly being transported in the wrong direction is as anxiety-inducing as it is embarrassing.…

Homelessness is a common issue amongst veterans in America. They often suffer from PTSD, have trouble adjusting back to civilian life, and must find work in an already competitive job market with no recent relevant experience. Though many organizations have formed to help vets, some still fly under the radar and end up on the streets. In October 2017, a young woman named Kate McClure from Philadelphia found herself in an unexpected emergency. When a homeless…

We’ve all experienced some slow postage times in the past, but this family takes the cake. One World War II veteran sent a postcard back in 1943. However, it only arrived in 2021, nearly 77 years later! You can imagine the shock this Navy veteran’s family felt when the card turned up… WWII Veteran’s First Letter In 1943, amid World War II, young, 18-year-old Bill Caldwell wanted to make sure his postcard (seen above) got…

While clutter is the bane of every home-owning neat freak on the planet, it’s nearly impossible not to accumulate as least a little junk. Old items are left abandoned in garages and attics, sitting for years collecting dust until finally someone takes that dreaded — but long overdue — trip to the dump. Sometimes, though, all that “junk” people stash out of sight has more to it than meets the eye. As one man was rummaging through…

Picture the average attic. What you’re imagining is probably dark, dusty, and cramped, with cobwebs stretching across the slanted ceiling. Maybe there’s a mouse lurking in the corner, and a battered mannequin modeling a yellowed wedding gown. Attics are so spooky because you don’t know what’s underneath that thick layer of dust. A woman in Wales discovered this for herself when, while rifling through old things that hadn’t seen the light of day in decades,…

Visiting a thrift store is like embarking on a treasure hunt: you really never know what you might find. Though gently used shops tend to get a bad rap over the pre-owned nature of their goods, a quick walk up and down the aisles can reveal unique finds that are certainly worth putting up with a few scuffs and scratches for. But for some lucky shoppers, actual treasure may be hiding just within their reach.…

Museums offer such a fascinating peek inside the history that we would have no other access to. Whether it’s the gleaming swords of Middle Age knights or the whittled canoes of the Iroquois, every object peels back the curtain on the fascinating world we live in. Archaeologist Vittoria Dall’Armellina was all about museums and the treasures they held. Her life was dedicated to uncovering ancient relics, and during a guided tour through the Saint Lazarus monastery museum,…

What do you do in your time off? If you’re in the mood, you’ll work on your ten-years-in-the-making novel, or finally update the personal blog you started as a teenager. If you’re like most of us, though, you probably just slump onto your couch and watch whatever’s on TV until you fall asleep. If you’re like a particular UK man, however, you spend your rare free time doing something completely unexpected. This man doesn’t know…

Repurposing a service vehicle at the end of its life isn’t always easy. The downside of these vehicles, like school buses or firetrucks, is that they were made for specific functions and require special licenses to drive. They aren’t meant to travel the world with designer parts in the back. However, that doesn’t always stop people from trying. With the right skills and tools, an old truck or bus can become the coolest ride in…

Picture this: you’re walking down the street when something out of place catches your eye. As you get a closer look, you realize it’s something very valuable — a rare baseball card or something. You can’t help but smile wide because your day just went from ordinary to extraordinary within seconds. Sounds too good to be true, huh? While one young boy was sailing down a river in Austria, he spotted something odd floating in the water.…
