Hello From Orlando – Part 9: Exploring Scenic Mount Dora On The Herbie Express

Hello From Orlando – Part 9: Exploring Scenic Mount Dora On The Herbie Express

In my quest to find unusual destinations to visit in the Orlando area, I stumbled over a little town by the name of Mount Dora just about 45 minutes north of Orlando. I had read that it was a very picturesque small town located on a lake, and one of its main attractions was a scenic railway.

Mount Dora is only 27 miles or 43 km northwest of Orlando. It has an elevation of 184 feet above Lake Dora, which makes it Florida’s only “mountain top town”. Indeed the rolling hillsides and winding roads are a welcome unique feature in the generally flat topography of Florida.

How To Stop Your Ears From Ringing After A Concert – Do You Still Have Ringing Ears After That Concert?

How To Stop Your Ears From Ringing After A Concert – Do You Still Have Ringing Ears After That Concert?

How To Stop Your Ears From Ringing After A Concert

You had a blast! The concert was great. But are your ears still ringing after the concert? Do you have that high pitch buzzing, screeching or a distant telephone-like ringing after a concert? No, aliens are not trying to contact you. The ringing sound in your ears after a concert or any exposure to loud noises is caused by tinnitus.

Tinnitus is a symptom to ear infections, wax build up, and to the most common case, noise-induced hearing impairment. Out of 5 people between the age of 55-65, is most likely to report tinnitus. People who love going to loud/ rock/heavy metal/high pitched concerts are most likely to fall in this category, and experience regular “ringing ears after a concert” side effect. The alarming side about this is that the damage or ringing ears doesn’t just occur after a concert, but also by regular exposure to sounds of highway traffic, airplane engines and even from the loud noise of the hair dryer.

Music From Big Pink Reviews

Music From Big Pink

Music from Big Pink stands as one of those rare albums that turned the rock world on its axis. On this record, released in 1968 at the height of the psychedelic revolution, the five members of the Band (along with producer-sideman John Simon) eschewed spacey diversions, opting for an earthier route. Soon enough, wah-wah pedals and tape loops were making way for fiddles and mandolins. The group’s most democratic effort (Robbie Robertson would soon emerge as the ensemble’s mouthpiece), the debut’s

Hello From Nova Scotia – Part 19 – Arrival In Halifax And A Stunning Musical Performance – Drum!

Hello From Nova Scotia – Part 19 – Arrival In Halifax And A Stunning Musical Performance – Drum!

Slowly but surely my Nova Scotia discoveries were coming to an end. I only had one evening and one full day left after discovering the South West portion of this province over the last four days, following my last stops along the South Shore in Lunenburg and Peggy’s Cove. As I rolled into town late in the afternoon I noticed the landscape: lots of lakes and waterways interspersed with low-lying hills. One of my first impressions was that many of the neighbourhoods had beautiful houses with well-kept gardens and established trees. Halifax presented itself as a very picturesque city. I did not have a Halifax city map on me, but I figured if I only headed east I’d hit the oceanfront sooner or later, which I did right near Pleasant Point, one of Halifax’ largest public parks. A friendly local gentleman redirected me to downtown Halifax to Barrington Street which is where my abode for two nights, the Delta Barrington Hotel, was located.

With his directions I was able to make my way downtown and had no problem finding my hotel. I breezed through check-in and went upstairs to my room to relax for a bit and take advantage of the in-room high-speed Internet connection. After refreshing myself I was ready for an evening of discoveries and I started to stroll down to the waterfront.
