so I posted earlier bummer!! http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/bummer-303732/ about how I would not be able to make my mini fridge work as a kegerator but another member "Day trippr" has brought to my attention the fact that converted ball lock kegs (originally pin lock "coca-cola") are about 3" shorter in body (but wider at 9"), and about 2" shorter at the connections than regular ball lock "Pepsi" kegs (thanks!)
I'm hoping that a converted pin lock will fit at 23" http://www.cornykeg.com/catalog.asp?...showprevnext=1
so pretty much here goes nothing or everything lol here is my build up of a 2.7 cubic foot mini fridge/freezer combo from Magic Chef. model number MCBR270B, MCBR270S, MCBR270W.
at 2.7 cubic feet I don't have much to work with at 25" tall on the interior I am really pushing this to the limits! but I figure I'll work with what I got and if I destroy or ruin it I am only out $50.00 but not even that because this thing has served as the beer fridge in the band practice spot for the past couple of years with no issues!! and if I mess this up well time for bigger and better things.
25" from top to bottom of interior of fridge.
the other interior measurements are 15" wide, 14.5" from back to outter edge.
the other issue here is a pin lock keg is 9" in diameter, but the fridge is 8" from the compressor hump to the outter edge of the door so even after I remove the door tray package (which will gain me 5/8" verified) I will still need gain a minimal of 1" so I am going to build a collar around the door.
now I started working on the interior portion of the fridge.
I first removed the freezer door by pulling/bending it slightly in the middle which allowed the pins to come out of the holes.
freezer door installed in unit.
freezer door removed.
left mounting hole for freezer door.
right mounting hole for freezer door.
looking at it I found the complete fridge is cooled by the freezer plate, which originally formed a 90 degree angle (and should make running a tower a little bit easier). I carefully bent the plate "ears" away from the original freezer plate mounting locations, which I was able to manipulate the plate out of without distorting it too much. I then continued to fold it down and the refrigerant in/out line so now it makes an upside down "U" shape and placed it far back enough to clear the forward portion of the interior compressor hump.
this is where the freezer plate originally sat on the left side.
this is where the freezer plate originally sat on the right side.
this is the line that houses the in/out refrigerant lines bent down slightly.
this is looking "up" from the bottom of the fridge to the freezer plate.
I then used two pieces of scrap wood I had laying around to take up the gap between the freezer plate and the sides. I placed some self adhesive foam strips to the back of the pieces of wood, I then screwed the freezer plate to the pieces of wood using pre-existing holes in the plate.
freezer plate mounted to piece of wood left side.
freezer plate mounted to piece of wood right side.
at this point I plugged in the unit in hopes I didn't pinch a line in the freezer plate/evaporator. I stepped away as I plugged it in hoping nothing would explode lol and the compressor has been cycling on and off so far for the past 3 hours with no issues, no noises that are out of the ordinary, and the freezer plate gets nice and frosty!!! just as it use to!!
this was a blessing in disguise because had I not checked the operation at this point I would of never realized the condenser coils are located on the left and right sides of the unit (warm to the touch) this is a good thing as I was about to screw the pieces of wood through the interior of the fridge to make a secure mounting location and I could of possibly ruined a refrigerant line running through the side whew!! dodged that bullet lol this also reminds me I will have to double check to make sure this fridge has no refrigerant line running through the top of the unit from left to right which I will check using the cheap vodka and cornstarch trick. http://community.livejournal.com/hom...ng/413981.html
so by bending the freezer plate ears outward I have created a friction mount that I might use some liquid nails or some form of adhesive on in the future, but at this time is holding secure and is quite rigid.
here is what I got so far now only if I can make the keg fit
I might install a fan with tube to cool the tubing and tower, and also install a plate with holes in it, in front of the freezer plate so that the cold temps are not concentrated in one area and evenly distributed using the fan.
and also due to the freezer plate only being able to be bent in the downward position I no longer have room to fit a co2 bottle, so I'll either run an external tank or have a siphon tube fitted into the tank and fit it in between the gap between the hump and bottom of freezer plate. that's it for today but I will update the thread as I make more progress cheers!! - Shawn
p.s. pictures were taken after modifications if you couldn't tell lol.
Did a little bit more today to my "soon to be" kegerator.
Started working on the door/collar.
here is the door removed from the unit, the shelve assembly removed from the door, along with the rubber/magnet door seal.
I had to sand down these little securing tabs to get the wood collar to sit flush against the door
sanded down
I made the collar out of some wood my dad had sitting around his shop I think they are 2 X 2's but not sure (they measure 1.25" x 1.25" x 36"). with the addition of the extra 1.25" and the shelves in the door being removed I'll have ample room for the 9" diameter keg!! and should have a depth of a little under 10" from the hump to outer edge of door.
collar under construction
so far other than time I have only some brackets invested into this build (a whopping $10.00 lol) all other stuff has been "freebies" and stuff I already had laying around, but when all is said and done I will try to put a tally together of everything needed for the conversion in case some one else cares to attempt to do this build.
here is the collar with brackets installed.
I cut 1/4" off the lower 2 X 2 that sits at the bottom of the door (length wise) so that it clears the floor of the fridge and does not catch on the keg when the door is closed and opened. (a more simple solution, which I had to do any ways was to cut a piece of 3/8" thick plywood 7.5" deep by 15" wide to prop the keg and co2 tank up to clear the door. I would use a 1/2" thick piece of plywood next time and not bother cutting the 1/4" off the lower 2 x 2. The 3/8" plywood was another scrap piece of wood I had laying around).
to hold the rubber magnet/seal against the collar I used the shelve assembly from the door as a template to mark the location of the mounting holes on the collar, I then cut the outer edge of the shelf unit off and used it as a bracket to hold the seal in place against the collar, I then used some wood screws that were 1-5/8" long (1.625") to hold the seal, plastic edge, and collar against the door, and only going 3/8" into the door (the collar measuring 1.25" thick). (this was the resolution to my first attempt, in which I tried to glue the rubber magnet/seal to the collar using gorilla glue, and insulate it using tuffstuff foam (not a good idea lol) I spent a day cleaning, removing material, and repainting the collar after another members advice of cutting the outer edge of the shelf unit out thank you "ALucard1983". (see below ha ha)
After succesfully using the outer edge of the shelf unit I then spray painted the collar black, and the inside of the door white. And filled in the gaps between the wood and door with white silicon.
"to Alcohol! the cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems" ~ Homer J. SimpsonMagic Chef 2.7 mini fridge kegerator build
What you could of done with the magnet is cut the shelfs out of the plastic door... Then put magnet back on and then screws that plastic to the wood
Primary's Air
Carboy's Raspberry wine, pale ale
Kegged Cooper's Stout, Coopers lager, Newfie dive bomber pee
On tap Cooper's lager, Cooper's Stout
Thanks!! yeah that would of been so much easier!! I was resistant to cut it, in case I wanted to put it back to mini fridge status had this all not of worked out, the next one I'll be a pro at!! ha ha
How many kegs do you plan to fit only 1? I think if you used a 6" collar you could get 2 kegs inside. If you need measurements of a converted pin lock I have 2 let me know.
I only Plan on fitting 1 at this time, and if the need arises to fit more than I can attempt a larger collar. I will eventually get a/make a keezer when I have the space to do so, space has been a limiting factor for me right now. Another member from this board measured his converted ball lock keg for me (originally a pin/coca-cola) and ended up with 23" to the top of the hose/ball lock connectors which should give me ample room to play with thank you very much!!
Ok finaly the collar is completed!! I re-used the factory hinge points for the door and simply drilled holes into wooden collar for the pegs to fit into!! works like a charm!!!
here you can see upper hinge point and a good idea of how much room I gained.
another shot of the collar
inside sealed with silicone then painted white
as described earlier I used just the lip of the shelve unit (trimmed it off the shelf unit using a dremel tool) to hold the seal in place and I also used it as a template to mark all the screw holes in the collar to line up with the existing holes in the door.
I gained a total of about 1 3/4" of an inch gives me approx. 3/4" of room to play with
a final touch for the night!!
will be working on aqquiring the tower, faucet, drip tray, and fan set up.
next on the "to do" list is to obtain the keg kit from cornykeg.com and after I have that I will work on purchasing the tower, faucet, drip tray, and fan set up. Which I will have to use the cornstarch and cheap vodka to double check for a refrigerant line running across the top of the unit between the two condensers on either side of the fridge!..... almost done!!
Also picked up my imperial pale ale kit from the brew shop, and 2 oz of Citra hops for dry hopping in the secondary I'm excited!!
so I did a little experiment, and since I am fresh to kegging is there guidlines as to what temperature I should keep my kegerator at ??
I found with the thermostat dial set to max (7) I set a glass of water at room temp in the fridge at approx area where the keg will be sitting, after a day I removed the glass and checked temperature although the water was still in liquid state the thermometer measured 30.5 F as soon as I removed the thermometer from the glass to get a better reading the glass of water flash froze, it was pretty neat but I assume beer being majority of water, that is not a good temp for a keg.
so I set the thermostat dial to "6" and let another glass of water set at room temp sit in it with the thermometer for a day. checked it that night and found the temp now at 32 F exactly!! with the very top of the water in the glass partially frozen. (like an ice skating rink/pond ha ha). Still not good for a keg I assume.
I then set the thermostat dial to "5" with another glass of water set at room temp. and after sitting for a day I came back and checked the temperature and found it sitting at 33.5 acceptable for a keg?? I think so but wasn't sure if there is specific guidelines at so what type of beer vs temp, or if you keg the temp should be set at such and such.... any insight would be helpful!! thanks in advance - Shawn
That is awful cold for a keg... as long as it isn't freezing it is a matter of opinion but I like mine around 42f.
Like the work though! It is coming along great.
Nice build!
As far as temp it comes down to preference, I personally set mine as Tom said between 42f~45f.
The man banging on the door yelled "Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms!" I just assumed it was more supplies.

This is one cheap nasty product. The lens covering the bulbs is completely unsealable and in 10 minutes of riding the inside of your light is going to be completely dusted out. Go through a puddle and that dust is going to be black streaked dirt. The construction is cheap so the plastic scratches 10 times easier than any of your other plastic and it just looks cheesy. The fit on a KTM 350 is poor, It will obscure your low fuel lamp and the brake cable will catch if you route it behind the cover and drag if you mount it in front. The most annoying part is that the bulbs are poorly secured and fall out. To get a replacement you might have to buy a few bulbs until you find the right one. No one carries a replacement and PoliSport isn't going to tell you which bulb it needs, they will send you back to the retailer because they don't do any user support. TECH NOTE : POLISPORT HMX HEADLIGHT REPLACEMENT LED BULB PART NUMBER 1565090001.Read All Reviews

wanted: wanted: pink bleeding heart vine - jacksonville
I am looking for a cutting of the pink/red/purple variety of Bleeding Heart Vine (also called Glory Bower or chlerodendrum thomsoniae) in the Jacksonville, Florida area. (I already have the white variety of Bleeding Heart Vine.) I would be happy to trade some white cuttings for a couple of your pink cuttings. I also have lots of other plants and cuttings I could trade: plumeria, yesterday-today-tomorrow, brugmansia/angels trumpet, chenille plant/firetail, amaryllis, crinum, pink or white jacobania, etc.
(Note that this is a different plant than the northern plant also called Bleeding Hearts Dicentra Spectabilis.)
The bleeding heart plant that I want looks like this:
I have peach brugs and white brugs. Tons of plumies but only one has ever bloomed that is the only one I know is pink for certain. All of the others, I know what they were labeled, but don't know the color for certain.
Are you in the Jacksonville area (I hope)?
I hope to find local - just easier. My brugmansia is a double-white - no name. I don't have any yellow, gold or orange flowering plants at all - don't really like them. My yard is all pinks, blues and whites. So plumerias - if they ever bloom - should be various shades of pink and white if they bloom true to purchase! :)
hi i do have a bleeding heart vine that someone gave me last year but it hasn't bloom yet, it looks like it will be soon,I have blueish purple salvia,white, pink, lavendar mexican petunias,joe pye weed, double white althea cutting, i live in Callahan, so i would love to do some trading i have more but dont know some of the names,oh i also have white and light lavender salvia hope to hear from you

Rumors continue to swirl about the status of Department of Homeland Security Chief Information Officer Richard Spires, who recently went on leave without explanation.
It turns out, the department is definitely searching for a CIO. It just happens to be for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, not DHS overall.
USAJobs continues to advertise the position, currently held by acting CIO Rob Thomas II, who took over in February.
The position pays between $119,000 and $179,000 per year, and the ad says it will remain open through May 6.

Woman paints murals to discourage smoking near her home by Mercy General Hospital
This week, residents of east Sacramento awoke to a newly painted array of anti-smoking murals right next to Mercy General Hospital.
Painted in bright, cheerful hues, they bear witty slogans – "No butts please," "Don't make a ash of yourself," and "Mercy have mercy" being a few.
The three 14-foot strips of art are a last-ditch attempt by Jim and Joanie Ferry, who live on 41st Street right by the J Street hospital, to discourage smoking outside their home.
Since the hospital went completely smoke-free at the beginning of the year, there has been an exodus of smokers from the hospital to the convenient – and now painted – short ledge outside the Ferrys' home.
Joanie Ferry is allergic to smoke and tried repeatedly to ask the smokers to stop. "Sometimes they say I'm sorry and leave. But often they are rude and indignant," she said.
The Ferrys said Mercy Hospital has not been able to address the situation to their satisfaction. The no-smoking signs that the Ferrys had first put up outside their home were ripped off.
Finally fed up, and after months of trying to work with the hospital, Joanie Ferry took matters into her own hands.
She hired Robert Gordon, an artist with a flair for pop art-like cartoons, to paint her walls. Her vision was simple: anything that could send an anti-smoking message without being offensive. Gordon obliged with sketches and slogans; the artwork was complete in two days.
Phyllis Baltz, Mercy Hospital's interim president, said in a statement: "We do not have control over and cannot enforce what happens on a public sidewalk."
She added, "If employees or visitors wish to take a smoke break, we encourage them to do so on the sidewalk in front of the facility and not impact our neighbors."
The Ferrys beg to differ.
"Patients on wheelchairs, and even patients with IVs are wheeled out here to smoke," said Joanie Ferry.
"She isn't just being a nag. It is a real issue," said Gordon, the artist. "People sit on her private property, smoke, break things. She's even gotten cussed at."
Joanie Ferry's solution to the problem is for the hospital to reinstate its original designated smoking areas. "They say people shouldn't smoke on their property. Well, why should they smoke on mine?" she said.

Advantium120 Oven Calibration
My Advantium is runs about 45F lower than programmed temp.
Service was just here and they called GE. They said that is normal because actual oven temp should be 25F lower than programmed due to "convection baking offset", and from there +/- 25F error is in "spec". There is no temp calibration on the Advantium120 apparently.
Does this sound right? To me it doesn't.
You didn't say how you know the oven is running about 45F below what you programmed. Are you using a good quality thermometer?
The owner's manual says: "Auto Recipe Convert: Auto recipe conversion reduces the convection baking temperature automatically by 25úF when turned ON. You still input the recipe temperature and the oven control
does the rest. To change the setting, press the OPTIONS pad and turn the
dial to AUTO RECIPE CONVERT. Press the dial to enter. Turn the dial to
change the setting to ON or OFF. Press the dial to enter."
What happens if you try changing that setting?
Thanks for the info. The temperature 45 low was confirmed by the service techs thermocouple.
I checked the settings like you suggest and indeed auto convert was on. The service tech (third party) did not know about it.
So with the 25 down from convert I am still about 25 low. However the tech says that is within the spec (+/- 25F) of the oven.
I can live with that, just adjust by recipes accordingly.

Chevrolet Malibu Problems
The fuel gauge may not read correctly and/or the Check Engine Light may illuminate with code P0455/P0461 stored for a fuel level sensor issue. These faults may be caused by a fuel vapor line inside the fuel take interfering with the fuel level sensor. If this is found to be the case, repositioned and securing the vapor line should correct this concern. If no fault is found with the fuel vapor line, the fuel level sensor itself may be at fault.
The passlock sensor in the ignition lock cylinder may fail causing an anti-theft system fault and a no start condition. Our technicians tell us that the ignition lock cylinder should be replace to correct this condition.
The intake manifold gasket may develop and external engine oil or coolant leak. In some cases, an internal coolant leak may occur causing coolant to mix with the engine oil. Our technicians tell us that operating the engine with a coolant/oil mix can result in internal engine damage. Replacing the intake manifold gasket should correct these leaks.
Chevrolet Malibu Questions
sometimes it stays on for a day or several days and then it will go out. may be off for a short while and then come back on. everyone says that it most probably is the gas cap purchase one from the local chevy dealer and installed it. still does the same thing.
If this stays on could it effect battery to not start. My car wouldn't start so I jumped it and it was fine...but then after it sat for a period of time I had to jump it again. Barry is brand new.
Chevrolet Malibu Recalls
These vehicles have power steering units which may fail while driving. Loss of power steering is most noticeable while driving slowly or parking, resulting in a heavier feel at the steering wheel. Slow speed maneuvers can become difficult and potentially unsafe. Dealers will replace the affected components free of charge. This recall is an expansion of an earlier GM recall (14V-153) to cover additional vehicles.
Excess weight on the key ring can cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position without warning, turning off the engine. This defect can also affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. Dealers will provide two replacement key rings and key cover on all ignition keys to correct this concern.
Power assist to the braking system may be lost due to a problem with the vacuum assist, disabling the hydraulic boost assist. If this were to occur increased brake pedal effort would be required to slow and stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will update the software in the electronic brake control module to correct this concern. Affected vehicles are equipped with a 2.5L engine with the auto stop/start option.
Chevrolet Malibu Reviews
We have a 2011 Malibu LTZ. The problem we are experiencing is the interior lights fluctuate all the time. One time you can see the dash lights really well: speed, RPM, radio, etc. But then all of a sudden, they will lighten so that you can hardly see them. We haven't touched the switch that regulates it at all. Any suggestions, the dealership says that's normal. Really?
I have a chevrolet moalibu 2011, it start and drive but when I start it the car shaking you can feel the vibration,

Helping people. Saving gorillas.™
Intestinal parasites are a major health problem for both humans and gorillas. Infection with parasites can lead to malnutrition, resulting in fatigue, inability to fight illness, and decreased productivity in human populations.
Gorillas are also susceptible to human parasites, which can seriously affect their survival. When people infected with intestinal parasites enter the forest where there are no latrines, they can leave behind parasites which can get in the soil and be picked up by gorillas. When parasite infections are treated in humans, levels of parasite infection found among the gorillas drops as well.
We design intestinal parasite testing, treatment and education action plans with Ministry of Health supervisors and collaborate with local public officials in villages near the gorilla habitats. We then work with townspeople directly.
Staff collect fecal samples to test for parasite infection among volunteers in local communities. These samples are then analyzed by lab assistants. The Fossey Fund's lab technicians also travel to rural villages and train local technicians to do the analyses themselves. This builds capacity so that our host countries can continue the work independently.
After the samples are analyzed we return to the villages and invite townspeople to join our treatment and education program. We explain the results of the parasite tests to the local people and provide de-worming treatments to those who tested positive for intestinal parasites, in conjunction with the Ministries of Health. We also go to schools with the National Health Ministries to provide treatment for children.
In the first few years of our intestinal parasite prevention program, infections declined 50 percent in the areas served, even before clean water systems were installed.
Learn about the all the ways that the Fossey Fund saves gorillas by helping people.
The cold, wet climate and dense rainforest wears out the clothes and equipment of our patrols quickly. Help Us Remain Vigilant!

On Feb. 21 the Virginia Department of Transportation will conduct an overnight traffic switch on the Zion Crossroads diverging diamond interchange project on Route 15 in Louisa County. Beginning at 9 p.m., all traffic through the work zone will be controlled by flaggers and police. Only through travel on Rt. 15 and right turns on and off Interstate 64 will be permitted. Vehicles wishing to turn left on and off the I-64 ramps will be redirected using short detours. VDOT advises drivers of intermittent stops and delays on Rt. 15 during the traffic switch, which will be completed early Saturday morning. Traffic on I-64 will not be affected. In the event of inclement weather, the switch will occur overnight Feb. 22, beginning at 7 p.m. When driving the new DDI configuration, drivers will proceed through a traffic signal at the interchange and follow their lane to the opposite side of the roadway.

The grapes of Rosswood
Welcome back to the bark side of life here in Ottertail, where the dawning day is greeting with a soft warm rain that falls quietly from the sky.
The low rumble of thunderheads crashing upon each other during the night has subsided and a gray day lies before us. Do be careful in these days so that you might not be pummeled from above by falling acorns (some dropped or tossed by delinquent squirrels or chipmunks) and other debris that falling leaves may bring with them.

Want to ditch the crowds of people at the airport this year? Just hop on a train, especially if you're looking to travel throughout Europe.
Making that notion even more appealing is a deal from Rail Europe that discounts EuroStar standard premier (comfort class) tickets by 20 percent for travel between London and Paris or Brussels, with one-way rates starting at $121.
Not that we ever need more reasons to go to France, but river cruise company CroisiEurope is having an excellent two-for-one sale for a Seine Valley & Normandy Beaches river cruise that sails from Paris on April 23.
If you're visiting Paris for the first time, you've got to check off a few things on the list: the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, and Champs-Élysées. But after hitting up the City of Light's landmarks, make your way to the new happenings in town that are less for the tourists, and more for the locals. Here, a guide to the new parts of Paris that shouldn't be missed, from haute hostels to designer-driven monuments. Read more
Traveling by yourself? One great thing to note about some romantic travel destinations is that they can also be fantastic places for solo travelers. And just think — nobody will be harping on you about whether you got him or her something for Valentine's Day. Here are some sweet destinations where it doesn't matter if you have a plus-one:
Want to explore a city from a unique perspective? Sign up for a graffiti tour. You'll learn the rich history of street art, view the community's best tags and murals, and maybe meet some of the local artists. Some tours even conclude with a workshop that lets you create your own masterpiece. Here are our favorites from around the world.
France may be the land of luxury, but that doesn't mean you have to spend a fortune on your accommodations. With these money-saving tips, you'll have leftover cash for the important things, like another bottle of Burgundy.
We all love a good art heist, don't we? They've been romanticized in films like Monuments Men, The Thomas Crown Affair, and, of course, the unforgettable, but not-so-great 2004 flick Art Theft. People have been stealing art for centuries. Some pieces have been recovered, others damaged, and many are still are hiding in an attic. Because art theft seems to always be in the news — see: Picasso thieves finally on trial; art recently stolen from Cairo Museum of Islamic Art; and a stolen painting of Elton John from an English pub — here's where you can see world-famous art that's been stolen (and recovered) over time.
As tourism destinations, many major cities across the globe — New York and Paris, Stockholm and Sydney — are certainly monumental or historical or beautiful or all of the above. What they often aren't, however, is cheap. The good news is that if you've got your mind set on visiting any of these metropolises, you can often find free activities to enjoy when you're there. We've built a list of museums, cultural events, and even transportation that won't cost you a thing in 10 notoriously pricey locales.
For Lynne and Tim Martin, retirement wasn't about slowing down — it was about seeing the world.
In 2011, the couple revealed to their family and friends that they were taking the unusual step of selling their California home, donating the furniture, and putting the rest of their belongings in storage so that they could travel the globe. But rather than set up shop in hotels, the Martins make themselves at home in vacation and apartment rentals through HomeAway, never staying less than a month in each destination. We sat down with Lynne to chat about how they manage this lifestyle — to get some advice for other roving renters.
As much as we appreciate hotel loyalty programs, accumulating points from just one hotel brand can feel like quite a slog, and a little uninspiring — who, besides the very frequent business traveler, wants the same brand experience each and every time they check in?
Just over a year ago, Preferred Hotel Group introduced a loyalty program, iPrefer, that honors stays at the more custom, bespoke hotels over the big box brands; it's the world's only loyalty program available at a global collection of truly independent hotels. Here's how it works, and how you can join.
Ready for some amazing hotel eye candy? On August 1, The Peninsula Paris will open its doors as the first European outpost for this iconic hotel brand. Located on Avenue Kléber in the 16th arrondissement, guests will be just a stone's throw to the Arc de Triomphe and Champs Elysées.
Travelers looking to experience one of France's medieval towns often head to Chartres or, even further afield, Orleans in the Loire Valley. But for those visiting Paris, there's a more convenient option that's just an hour away by train: Provins. Once a center of commerce, this is a prime choice if you're looking for a picture of rural life and French history while still being able to get back to Paris for an evening out. Read more
First-time visitors to Paris should definitely visit the Marais for art galleries and falafel shops, and Bastille for modern art and antique records, but these areas are just too "bobo" to impress your Parisian friends. Instead, head for these lesser-known neighborhoods for a rendezvous that will show the world that you're very chic. We've offered tips on a couple of places to visit in each neighborhood, but be sure to explore on your own to see what other surprises you can find.
Parisians typically flee the city for their summer holidays in August, but for travelers heading to the City of Light, there are plenty of ways to beat the heat (or bask in it). A bonus? You'll experience smaller crowds and the sunniest of sunny days. Here's how to do it:
As with other major holidays like Thanksgiving, it hasn't been easy to find great discounts for the Fourth of July. But if you're still on the lookout for a last-minute getaway, not all hope is lost. Here are a few ideas for savings next week:
