It seems like there is always activity in Times Square, no matter what time of the day or night, and there is plenty to do there to keep you active. Times Square is located at the intersection of Broadway and Seventh Avenue, and it connects right to the Theater District, creating a major arts center for the city of New York. Times Square earned its name in 1904 when The New York Times headquarters moved to One Times Square. Also known as The Crossroads of the World and the Great White Way, Times Square is one of the iconic landmarks in New York. The wall of LED signs in Times Square makes it one of the brightest parts of the city. In addition to all the lights, Times Square is also a foodie's paradise, with every nationality of food available there on Restaurant Row. Times Square is also home to the famous New Year's Eve ball drop, which began in 1907, as well as the theaters of Broadway. If you want to take in any kind of show while you're in New York, then Broadway is the place to do it. There are numerous Tony-award winning shows going on there every day, and you can take a trip through history and visit your favorite celebrities at Madame Tussauds Wax Museum. In 2009, Mayor Michael Bloomberg moved to make Times Square more pedestrian friendly so that it's much easier to walk and enjoy everything that Times Square has to offer. Some of the traffic lanes in the area were closed to create pedestrian walkways and ease traffic congestion. A smoking ban was even imposed in Times Square in 2011. --------------------------- Learn English with EnglishClass101!

It doesn't happen often, but when it does, baseboards beware. Ye shall be wiped clean. "Unbelievable." "What is?" "Check this out," I say, and I pull the rug back a few feet. There, lying innocent but in wait, are at least a baker's dozen pine needles. My husband chuckles. "How do we miss so many every year?" "I think they actually multiply." Every year on New Year's Day, my family and I take down our Christmas tree. We carefully tuck away all of the ornaments, multi-colored balls, strings of lights, and wreaths. We take the tree out, and then diligently vacuum every square inch of floor before putting the furniture back in its non-holiday place. And every year, this. "Aaargh," I say, and I attack the offending pine needles with the vacuum cleaner. "Why don't we get an artificial tree this year?" "Yeah…no," my husband says. "I'm serious. No more pine needle stowaways." I vacuum violently farther under the rug, peek beneath it once more for good measure, and then lay it back down. David laughs again and turns back to the Newsweek he was reading. It's only in the spring that I am totally serious about buying an artificial tree, one with the lights already in place and realistic needles. My husband argues that we will miss the pine smell, and I argue back that they make air fresheners for that. But when the day after Thanksgiving rolls around again, I am eyeing the trees in the Christmas tree lots and measuring the height of the ceiling once again. Spring cleaning, here I come. --------------------------- Learn English with EnglishClass101! Don't forget to stop by EnglishClass101.com for more great English Language Learning Resources!

The parks are famous for their redwood trees, which are the tallest trees in the world, but they also contain almost forty miles of wild coastline, woodlands, and prairies. Campers will find Redwood National and State Parks to be a wonderful place to camp, but there are no on-site accommodations there for people who don't like to camp. The Redwood Hostel was closed in 2010 due to a lack of funding, and that was the only place for non-campers to stay at the park. There are five visitor centers that are full of information about the wildlife you can find in the park. Hikers will want to check out Davison Road to see the Roosevelt elk or Fern Canyon, which has incredible walls that are wet and completely covered with ferns. Another great place to hike is Gold Bluffs Beach, which is home to what's left of the mining operations in the area. In addition to hiking and camping, there are many other outdoor activities to enjoy. There are several scenic drives you can take if you don't want to walk, including the Newton B. Drury Scenic Parkway, which is an incredible drive through the ancient redwood trees. You can also stand on the shoreline and watch for gray whales at Enderts Beach and the Crescent Beach Overlook. To catch the whale migration any time of the year, head down to Klamath River Overlook. Redwood National and State Parks are home to some of the most incredible plant and animal life that you will find anywhere in the United States. Anyone who enjoys the outdoors will not want to miss it. --------------------------- Learn English with EnglishClass101!

Originally written and recorded by Bob Dylan, Hendrix heard the song and liked it. In early 1968, the Jimi Hendrix Experience started recording the song, which turned out to be a process that would take a very long time. Jimi Hendrix had worked out an elaborate arrangement and would frequently improvise his guitar runs on the song. This caused a great deal of difficulty for the other musicians on the record, so much so that his bassist, Noel Redding, quit halfway through the recording. Dave Mason, a session guitarist helping out on the record, then played the bass. However, the engineer has claimed that Hendrix himself plays the bass guitar on the recording. Even though the initial recording sessions took five days, with the final session being on January 26, 1968, Hendrix wasn't satisfied with the results. He took the recording to The Record Plant studios in New York. There, he worked on the song throughout the summer, adding guitar parts and re-recording. Tony Bongiovi, the engineer on the record at The Record Plant, said that Hendrix was becoming dissatisfied as the sessions went on. Finally, however, "All Along the Watchtower" was released on the album Electric Ladyland in September 1968. Ever since then, Hendrix's version of the song has been more popular than Bob Dylan's. It appears frequently on the list of greatest songs and greatest guitar solos. Bob Dylan himself has praised the version, saying that Hendrix made it better than it was. The song itself sold very well and reached the number 5 spot on the UK Singles Chart. In the US, it reached number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Hendrix's only Top 20 hit there. --------------------------- Learn English with EnglishClass101!

It's a picturesque landscape that simply takes your breath away. According to the National Park Service, the Grand Canyon is 277 river miles long, a mile deep, and up to eighteen miles wide. Almost five million people see the Grand Canyon every year, and the one view we've all seen on television or in books is the view from the South Rim, which includes Hermit's Rest, Desert View, and Grand Canyon Village. A few people see the Grand Canyon from the North Rim, which is across from the South Rim but is a thousand feet above it. It's much more difficult to get up to the North Rim, which is why so few people take the trek up there. Seeing the Grand Canyon is about much more than just taking in a gorgeous view. There are plenty of outdoor activities for any family to enjoy. You can take a mule ride to Phantom Ranch or ride the Colorado River through the canyon, but be prepared for a lengthy river trip because some can take several weeks to complete. There is some lodging available inside the park at the South Rim, although it's booked well in advance. There are also some options available right outside the park, and a free shuttle service is available to carry you from these accommodations to the park. For those who really want to enjoy the great outdoors, the main campground is located in the South Rim. There is also a North Rim campground for true adventurers who want to brave the hike up to those heights. The Grand Canyon fulfills a sense of adventure everyone experiences, whether young or old. The shuttle service at the park makes it easy for anyone to take in these breathtaking views. --------------------------- Learn English with EnglishClass101!
