The year started off with a bang in California, thanks to the groundbreaking of the much-delayed high speed rail line which would allow a trip from Los Angeles to San Francisco in less than three hours.
Yes, you read that right. Travelling at a speed of over 200 mph, the long trip usually takes about 12 hours, but will soon take a fraction of the time. The project, which was approved six years ago, is expected to cost $68-billion (gulp) and take about 15 years to complete. Continue reading

First Thursdays at the AGO
We love that some of our favourite attractions in Toronto are turning it up a notch and repurposing their space into something more. We’ve raved about Friday Night Live at the ROM, where the Museum turns into a major party after hours (yes, you can party with the dinosaurs) and now we’re here to tell you about First Thursdays at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO).
On the first Thursday of each month, the AGO brings in live music, food and drink, and opens their doors to every art-lover in the city. It’s a night to have fun and truly release your inner artist. There’s discussions about art and various pop-up talks throughout the evening. And of course, there’s an opportunity to show everyone what you got – with art-making activities with local artists.
