In fact, at one point he even moved into the former carriage house and simply rented out the grand home, as is.https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/img_0712.jpgIMG_0712Ceramic succulents.

My room name? My name? My description: "silly American woman with yellow hair and giant yellow hair son"?https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/p1040789.jpgP1040789Gray's second night savior: shabu-shabu. It's kind of a raclette or fondue procedure with a boiling broth, vegetables, and beef. It was delicious. Gray used his Google translate app to ask to have the same dinner the next night. Our mother was surprised, pleased, and discombobulated because we were slated for a whole new tantalizing array of Japanese dishes. She went and consulted with the rest of the staff (I guess) and they agreed to let Gray live one more day. https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/p1040764.jpgP1040764I have to admit that the only menu item I worried about was coffee. They did not have any in my last ryokan and I walked miles to try and find some. I had sent a message ahead at this one...."please provide coffee at breakfast." They did. It was steaming, hot and delicious.https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/p1040720.jpgP1040720Here is Gray meeting dinner on the first of three nights. I knew then we were booked for two nights too many, in his estimation. Over the next day he started periodically measuring his wrist circumference as a proxy for his starvation level. It's not that there wasn't massive quantities of food. He just could not get his bearings with virtually everything but rice being unfamiliar, small, often cold, often pickled or raw. Or in this case, extremely artfully displayed to look like it was still au naturel.https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/tanabe.jpgtanabeExterior of small town Tanabe Ryokan in Tanagawahttps://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/iudo_andon_ryokan01.jpegiudo_andon_ryokan01Exterior of Tokyo's Andon Ryokanhttps://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/p10407981.jpgP1040798Entrance to the Hakone/Mt.

This is what is currently available. The only differences seem to be shape.https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/p1030735.jpgP1030735Isetan department store food halls. See the woman walking on the left? She is wearing a surgical face mask. About 10% of the people you see have one on, both in offices and out on the street. They are trying to prevent sickness, or in the case of someone who is already sick, they are protecting other people.https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/p1030778.jpgP1030778Rakuten pioneered an ecommerce marketplace in Japan.

in case my son wants to be a slacker, with this choice of literature, he should fit right in with the pool-side crowd.https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/p1020141.jpgP1020141This looks like an ordinary lunch counter. It’s not. It’s at a foodie paradise called “Butcher.” Taking home one of those “Grandma’s Chocolate Cakes” will set you back $45! But you might also get the offer of a free shot of whiskey to go with that root beer, as I witnessed. There’s a lot of that “giving a little extra” custom in New Orleans. They even have a special name for it: "lagniappe"https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/p1020146.jpgP1020146Speaking of story-telling and humor, Don here, at the National WWII Museum was a master. He’s a vet standing in front of the Higgins boat he drove for 2.5 years in the Phillippines theatre. (Who knew that these boats, built in New Orleans, comprised 92% of the US Navy craft, causing Dwight Eisenhower to credit them, and their creator SS Higgins, with winning the war). Don told me the only reason he survived all those perilous boat runs under heavy fire, dropping off troops , was that his head is so hard that the “Japs” didn’t want than to waste their ammunition on shooting him.https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/p10200781.jpgP1020078On the more overtly macabre front, this is Resurrection Fern. Pretty, right? Until you learn it’s a plant that only grows on human remains. It is creepily poking out everywhere in those New Orleans cemeteries. https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/p1020077.jpgP1020077People seem to leave a trace of themselves all over New Orleans. Touring the Lafayette Cemetery, we learned how VooDoo rituals combine with Catholic burial traditions. In this case, on the tomb for “The Society for Destitute Orphan Boys” people leave Mardi Gras beads, toys, food, and coins to keep the boys in on the fun in the afterlife.https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/p1020131.jpgP1020131Speaking of signs, and street art, I liked the way that exiting patrons of the Ogden Museum of Southern Art turned nearby public fixtures into a colorful collage. Would they do this in Boston?https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/p1020128.jpgP1020128......devolved into a “find the rude word” in the street sign game.https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/p1020026.jpgP1020026I’m not sure what these two women had already had to drink first thing in the morning, but it fueled their confidence to strip topless and change shirts in broad daylight at the very public, central French Quarter Festival merchandise stand. I am shocked I got this photo because my embarrassed son was very busy tackling me to stop me from shooting. He was more mortified by my behavior than by theirs. Teenagers.https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/p10200271.jpgP1020027I myself said, "We're not in Kansas anymore, Toto" when I ordered cinnamon pancakes and they arrived looking like a Dunkin' Donuts seasonal special. 2012-12-29T21:46:07+00:00monthlyhttps://julespieri.com/2012/05/10/sleeping-with-a-stranger-via-airbnb/https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/p1020232.jpgP1020232https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/img_0781.jpgIMG_0781https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/img_0778.jpgIMG_0778https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/p1020229.jpgP1020229https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/p10202271.jpgP1020227https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/p1020227.jpgP1020227https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/p1020228.jpgP10202282012-12-29T21:40:21+00:00monthlyhttps://julespieri.com/2012/06/24/only-the-mafia-is-more-secretive-than-this-industry/https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/images.jpgimagesUnreal Brands products2012-12-29T21:38:59+00:00monthlyhttps://julespieri.com/2012/06/06/paying-full-price-is-for-saps/https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/jpg%2012-12-29T21:15:51+00:00monthlyhttps://julespieri.com/2012/08/23/the-not-so-fun-side-of-the-toy-business/https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/magic_beans.jpgmagic_beanshttps://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/images-1.jpgimages-1Ira and Sheri Gurock, co-founders of Magic Beans2012-12-29T21:12:23+00:00monthlyhttps://julespieri.com/2012/09/03/watching-kickstarter-two-years-and-a-lifetime-later/https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/pebble.jpgpebblePebble Watchhttps://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/kickstarter.jpgkickstarterhttps://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/dragon.jpgdragonhttps://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/img_1405.jpgIMG_14052012-12-29T21:11:50+00:00monthlyhttps://julespieri.com/2012/09/17/rakuten-invests-in-daily-grommet/https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/rakutandailygrommet-03.jpgRakutan@DailyGrommet - 032012-12-29T21:10:56+00:00monthlyhttps://julespieri.com/2012/09/18/the-top-trend-we-see-at-grommet/https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/screen-shot-2012-09-18-at-4-18-52-pm.pngScreen Shot 2012-09-18 at 4.18.52 PMScreen grab from "Made in USA" search on Google Images2012-12-29T21:09:57+00:00monthlyhttps://julespieri.com/2012/06/15/sneaking-around-in-the-basement-and-where-it-landed-me/https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/p1020442-e1340152448202.jpgP1020442https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/img_0790.jpgIMG_0790https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/2012-06-09-18-48-05.jpg2012-06-09 18.48.05https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/2012-06-09-15-46-411.jpg2012-06-09 15.46.41https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/img_07891.jpgIMG_0789https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/2012-06-09-12-16-27.jpg2012-06-09 12.16.27https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/2012-06-09-12-16-221.jpg2012-06-09 12.16.22https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/470-1000x6651.jpg470-1000x665https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/470-1000x665.jpg470-1000x665Alas according the official website of the Detroit Public Schools, my alma mater has been "selected to transition to The Education Achievement Authority (EAA) of Michigan, a new statewide system of schools that will assume operation of the lowest 5 percent of the Persistently Lowest Achieving (PLA) schools in the state of Michigan."

Many work in and around the auto industry. I was not on the ground long enough to get the pulse of the car companies. I did get the pulse of Detroiters DRIVING cars. I had forgotten how mellow and civilized a place that city can be. I once read a study that ranked cities by how stressed people are and Boston came out on top. The researchers watched people in line at store cashiers to see how far back in the line were people starting to pull out their wallets and cash. Boston had people three and four people back impatiently getting ready to transact. I think a new study that measured the length of traffic light intervals would be illuminating about the temperament of a city. Coming from Boston, the Detroit traffic lights seemed to last an eternity. I started to think that traffic lights might be a proxy for the hurriedness of a city. I know I had to practice a lot of self-calming as I waited for the lights to change and THEN waited for the cars to slowly start rolling. I found myself bizarrely wanting to blast other motorists in Detroit rather frequently. I never honk my horn in Boston--unless I think a life is endangered. Clearly I need to spend more time in Detroit.https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/p1010801.jpgP1010801https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/p1010800.jpgP1010800https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/p1010798.jpgP1010798I could not dream of eating pastries after our huge Greek meal, so I indulged my appetite via the camera. https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/p1010793.jpgP1010793I did not appreciate Detroit’s Greektown when I lived there. Until l was leaving for this trip I pretty much assumed lots of cities have a Greektown, until my friend and Greek food connoisseur Drew Beja told me, “What? Detroit’s Greektown is FAMOUS.” So I had to take my mom and order the classic Saganaki, which is set aflame with a loud “Opa” at every other table in the restaurant we visited: <a href='http://www.pegasustavernas.com/menu.html'>Pegasus Taverna</a>. More of a revelation was “Scordalia,” which our waitress recommended as her favorite appetizer. It’s a very tasty garlic and potato dip served with pickled beets.https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/p1010804.jpgP1010804Urban decay can sometimes do more preservation than any other force, when it comes to signs.https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/p1010810.jpgP1010810I could have taken hundreds of pictures of vintage signs like these. https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/p1010814.jpgP1010814Comerica Park…home of the team whose name can clearly never be changed. In the photo, those are fans lining up for the box office. That’s an old Cadillac in the forefront—the kind of car you see a lot in Detroit, but rarely in Boston. (There is no car inspection law in Detroit, so you see all manner of true jalopies on the roads, next to the latest and greatest.) My brother’s company <a href='http://www.idealshield.com/'>Ideal Steel</a> helped make the giant baseball bats splayed out around the stadium exterior. In fact they made a whole lot of the exterior fixtures in this fantastic ballpark.https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/p1010816.jpgP1010816Just next door to the Fox is the Fillmore. Look at the line-up of upcoming musical acts! To state the obvious, Detroit makes most other cities look like cow towns when it comes to music.https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/p1010817.jpgP1010817TripAdvisor ranks <a href='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_Theatre_%28Detroit,_Michigan%29'>the Fox Theatre</a> as the third best tourist attraction in Detroit. So many legendary performances have occurred there and it was beautifully restored by the Illitch family (owners of Little Caesars Pizza and the Red Wings). A daytime photo does not do the imaginative neon signage justice.2016-02-09T12:52:58+00:00monthlyhttps://julespieri.com/2012/02/21/oddball-photo-tour-of-montreal/https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/p1010698.jpgP1010698We were too tied up looking for lunch on the worst touristy street of the Montreal Old Town to stop and explore this "Sugar Shack."

A wonderful ancient textile manufacturer, Busatti, is a local business to the town where we stayed. I surely bought the most touristy possible item from their line. But I loved the hand-embroidery and I know that I will use this towel until it wears out. Linens are one of my favorite travel purchases--because I really use them. And they pack so well.https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/img_06431.jpgIMG_0643Utility. I always bring home ordinary (but foreign feeling) things that will give me daily pleasure. Italian toothpase. Miniature wooden clothespins from Barcelona. French paper clips. I loved this Italian twine for its thick, uneven girth, and its slightly waxy/polished quality.https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/img_0643.jpgIMG_0643Utility. I frequently bring home simple objects of ordinary utility from my travels. Paper clips, notepads, miniature wooden clothes pins. This twine, again just found in the local COOP grocery store, charmed me. It has a slightly waxy-polished quality I haven't found in American twine, which tends to be "hairy." OK I just revealed my too-intimate obsession with twine. But you can't https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/img_0666.jpgIMG_0666Taste. Of course we had to bring back some wine.

It's a little more subtle in real life than in this photo. I like things that have a couple layers of discovery. This belt has that. I thought it was tooled brown leather when I first saw it.

Is this place old, or new? I'm goin' with new, but the local Italian factor could prove me wrong. Maybe people in Pittsburgh have always needed lots of Biscotti. I probably had my first biscotti at age 25, so what do I know? https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/img_0267.jpgimg_0267I had to laugh when I saw these song lyrics. I rarely used to sing to my boys...I cannot hold a note. But I used to sing this song, terribly, and with an emphasis on "you'll never know how much I love you." I delivered it like a pitiful accusation and it always seemed to make them laugh. I asked my son if he remembered that tradition...he did not. Oh well. Something you do for the general family vibe, no?https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/img_0260.jpgimg_0260I thought this was a very pretty display, in the chi-chi chocolate shop where I bought my fatal malted milk balls. But boy did they know their merchandise.https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/img_02451.jpgimg_02451I found a couple good Grommets in here, I think. Only wish I had brought the Flip camera with me to tape the lady in the store who told me all about the latest and greatest kitchen tools. They had a 150 foot long wall of terrific gadgets.https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/img_0266.jpgimg_0266https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/img_02851.jpgimg_02851This is THE place to eat breakfast before trawling the food shops. Probably a good idea to fill your belly before starting that buying spree. Those $7 spent on scrambled eggs could save you $50 later in the day.https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/img_0285.jpgimg_0285This is THE place to eat breakfast, for next to nothing. https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/img_0262.jpgimg_0262Italian food was the backbone to the Strip district offeringshttps://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/img_0294.jpgimg_0294This might be a Grommet someday. Our audience is too probably too small to handle a very regional and quirky pickle producer, but someday I think we will reach enough people to be able to do very, very niche products like this. And I love the labels. I would not want to eat the pickles, but rather display them.https://julespieri.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/img_0274.jpgimg_0274Looks old, maybe, but I'm going for old.
