Everything is a Brand

Alte Utting in Munich, Germany

March 20, 2025

Manufactured in 1949 in Deggendorf, Northern Bavaria, the MS Utting was not destined to end its days on a bridge in the middle of Sendling, a suburban neighborhood near Munich‘s city center. For 67 years, the ferry carried passengers across Ammersee, a great lake south of the Bavarian capital city. The vessel allowed locals and visitors to swim in the picturesque setting and enjoy some fresh air. During its operation, numerous onboard boat parties were organized with live music,...

What Hotel Staff Really Need from a...

March 20, 2025

A hotel’s property management system (PMS) is the backbone of daily operations, touching nearly every department – from front desk and housekeeping to revenue management and accounting. In theory, a PMS should streamline operations, reduce friction, and create a seamless experience for both employees and guests. However, in practice, many PMS platforms fall short of The post What Hotel Staff Really Need from a PMS (and Why Many Systems Fail Them) appeared first on Revfine.com.

Crane M3 in Gdańsk, Poland

March 19, 2025

The cranes of Gdańsk have always been a symbol of the city’s place as Poland’s de facto port. After Poland’s deindustrialization in 1992, the port was shut down and many cranes were no longer used. Now one of Gdańsk’s iconic cranes, Crane M3, is charting a new path forward. After almost a year of work, M3 was transformed into a 360-degree scenic lookout point that opened in April 2019. Located in Gdansk’s rejuvenated Imperial Shipyard district, visitors can climb the...

These Fantastic Spanish Sculptures Were Built to...

March 19, 2025

From the outside, Estudio Chuky looks like any of the unassuming warehouses that dot Carrer Camp Rodat, a street in Valencia’s Benaguasil industrial district. But step inside its tall steel doors, and you won’t find containers or trucks. Instead, there’s a 10-foot tall octopus hanging from the ceiling. Beneath it, a team of five artists is busy sanding, sculpting, and painting paper-mâché statues commissioned for Las Fallas, Valencia’s largest festival. During Las Fallas, a ritual inscribed by UNESCO as...

Inside the World’s Largest Two-Headed Calf Collection

March 19, 2025

Henry S. Rosenthal stands beside the hand-painted curtain to his Two-Headed Calf MOOseum in San Francisco with an impish smile on his face. In the background, the low, guttural sounds of mooing emerge on a hidden speaker. On the wall hangs an image of the gestational cycle of polycephaly in cows. A former musician—Rosenthal helped initiate West Coast punk in 1977 as a drummer in the band Crime—he is no stranger to showmanship. “This is where it all begins,”...

Ping Tom Memorial Park in Chicago, Illinois

March 19, 2025

Just north of Chinatown’s central shopping district, Ping Tom Memorial Park is a tranquil oasis just outside of downtown Chicago. Once part of Santa Fe Railroad property, it transformed into a 17-acre park largely thanks to the efforts of the park’s namesake, Ping Tom. A lifelong Chicago Chinatown resident, Tom (1935–1995) was a civic leader and businessman who helped develop the iconic Chicago neighborhood. He helped create the 32-acre Chinatown Square, co-founded the Chinatown Chamber of Commerce, and led...

Ju-oh-iwa in Kamakura, Japan

March 19, 2025

Through the northern area of Kamakura runs the Ten-en Hiking Course, a three-mile-long mountain trail that connects Kenchō-ji and Zuisen-ji temples. Just a short hike away from the Hansōbō portion of Kenchō-ji, a storied rock called Ju-oh-iwa offers a panoramic view of the whole city. Ju-oh-iwa literally means “Ten Kings Rock” and refers to the Ten Kings of Hell, a group of judges in afterlife. Sure enough, near-faded as they are, one can still discern the images of three...

Collegiate Church of St. Gertrude in Nivelles,...

March 19, 2025

Also known as the Collégiale Sainte-Gertrude de Nivelles, this Romanesque church dates back to the 7th century. Originally the church was housed within an abbey whose first abbess was Saint Gertrude of Nivelles, the patron saint of cats. Through the centuries, several churches were built on this site. In 1046, the current church was consecrated with Wazon, Bishop of Liège, and Henry III, Emperor of the Holy German Empire, presiding over the ceremony. World War II-era bombings destroyed several sections of...

World’s Largest Covered Porch Swing in Hebron,...

March 19, 2025

Some 200 miles northwest of Kansas City, the sleepy town of Hebron, Nebraska, boasts an unusual attraction: the world’s largest covered porch swing. With a seat 32 feet long, the swing can easily accommodate 18 adults or 24 children, making it a favorite location for wedding or family photos. The swing’s massive frame was built using a section of a Reinke Manufacturing irrigation frame, a familiar farming tool dotting many nearby fields. Originally built in 1985, the swing was designed...

Robert E. Lee House in Boerne, Texas

March 19, 2025

Hidden in plain sight along South Main Street in Boerne, Texas, rests a small structure built of local stone where Confederate General Robert E. Lee often stayed while traveling between Camp Verde, 30 miles to the west, and Fort Sam Houston, 35 miles to the east in San Antonio. Located at the corner of South Main and Evergreen Street and hugged by the Cibolo Creek, the small building at 525 South Main is all that remains of a once...

Bell Chamber of Budolfi Church in Aalborg,...

March 19, 2025

To most modern-day passersby, the clock tower of Budolfi Church in Aalborg, northern Denmark, might seem innocuous—just another church spire blending into the cityscape. But only a few centuries ago, it was the center of sinister legends and whispered fears. At one time, the townsfolk believed the Devil occupied the belfry opening, with a lair large enough for a man to lie down in. Dreading this unwelcome resident, locals avoided the spot. When the tower’s fire watchmen needed to...

March 19, 2025

The hospitality industry isn’t slowing down, and outdated property management system (PMS) solutions are dragging hotels behind. Clunky, slow, and vulnerable to cyber threats, legacy systems can no longer keep up. If your property still relies on an aging PMS, here’s why 2025 is the year to upgrade—ranked from most to least urgent. 10 Key The post 10 Reasons Why Upgrading Your PMS is a Must in 2025 appeared first on Revfine.com.

Dr Salter's Daydream in London, England

March 18, 2025

This group of sculptures, collectively known as “Dr Salter’s Daydream,” depict Dr. Alfred Salter, his wife Ada, their daughter Joyce, and their cat. Created by Diane Gorvin, the sculptures were originally unveiled in 1991 but have since moved to their current location. Dr. Alfred Salter arrived in Bermondsey in 1898, a newly qualified doctor shocked by the poverty and misfortune he encountered. Bermondsey wasn’t just where Dr. Salter practiced medicine; it became his home. He and Ada, who he...

Zvezda in Ljubljana, Slovenia

March 18, 2025

Some of the most extraordinary cakes in Ljubljana are found at Zvezda (which means “star”), one of a small local chain of fashionable patisseries. If the idea of Mitteleuropa makes you dream of sitting for long spells at a café decked in flowers, eating cakes, sipping coffee, thinking Great Thoughts, and possibly sketching in a notebook with your head at a rakish slant, this is the place to live out that fantasy. All of Slovenia is west of Vienna, the heart...

Baseball Fields at Old Bethpage Village Restoration...

March 18, 2025

On most Saturday and Sunday mornings from early spring to late fall, you can find what appears at a distance to be a normal game of adult recreational baseball. But take a closer look, and you’ll notice some anomalies: fielders playing without gloves, an umpire wearing a three-piece suit and top hat, players’ uniforms looking as though they were borrowed from the costume department of a movie set in the 19th century. Set in the backdrop of Old Bethpage...
