Creepiest Abandoned Amusement Parks in America
Amusement parks are fun!... right? While some look at the actual amusement that comes from the parks, others find it difficult to look past the creepy aspects of that come along when entering these parks. They are designed for a fun and thrilling time, but how can one focus on that if they are filled with clowns, mascots with who knows what kind of person underneath those masks, dirty toothless men running the rides, and thousands of strangers that you have never met before. And if you did not think that amusement parks could get any creepier than that, imagine walking into an abandoned one. A whole amusement park all on your own that has been rundown and rusting for years. Well, unfortunately for those who are not fans of creepy places, and fortunately enough for those who get a thrill out of visiting places like this, then do I have some destinations for you. Here are some of the creepiest amusement parts in America, after the fun ended.

Must-See Spots on Your Hamptons Vacation
There's nothing like spending your summer in the Hamptons. Between the A-list celebrities, the luscious greenery and wildlife, and the peaceful sunny beaches, you are sure to have a wonderful time. The expensive attractions are worth it because you will receive only the very best. I think of the Hamptons as my second home, since I vacationed there every year as a kid.

Why I Live In Mississippi
Behind every name, there is a story. The ones we recall are lucky enough to be written down and repeated; these narratives resonate with others and through continued storytelling, people determine the history of our past. 2017 finds us as the chosen ones to transcribe what the future will know about our time and the people who laid the groundwork for the lives of those to come. As William Faulkner succinctly explains, "The past is never dead. It's not even past."

Traveling the Oregon Coast
Come closer. I need to share something. The Oregon Coast may be this country's best-kept secret for a summer trip. I know, Oregon is so renowned for rain its best football team is the “Ducks.” It is nearly rain free during the summer months. June-September is a magical time to see a magical place. In fact, the real rainfall doesn't even begin until after Halloween.

Right on Red State: Florida Weather
Florida is hot. It's an undeniable fact, yet tourists feel the need to point it out. Floridians, and people who live in Florida, but don't want to be labelled as Floridians, are well aware that it is hot outside. Don't feel the need to remind them for the sake of small talk. They all know the statewide high temperatures are caused by Florida's proximity to the equator, and the low elevation making Florida very close to Hell.

Right on Red State: Florida Highways
As of the writing of this article, there are twelve major interstate highways in Florida. We can assure you that we will not be updating this article if any more are built, so don’t try to correct us. Of the twelve, nine interstate highways never leave the state of Florida, which makes one question the meaning of the word interstate. They are Interstates 4, 10, 75, 95, 110, 175, 275, 375, 195, 295, 395, 595. The last eight are just roads the connect the first four, which explains why they don't connect to other states. This leaves one highway, I-4. It technically shouldn't even be part of the Interstate System as it doesn't run through multiple states. This is the first strike against “Interstate” 4.

Best Vacation Spots In Alaska
Of all the states in the US, Alaska is the largest, and yet also among least populated. This is a shame, since the state possesses such natural beauty. At the northern reaches of the planet, in a land divided by ice and snow, there remain such sights that you can only dream of.

Worst Places To Travel For Americans
Once upon a time, Americans were widely accepted and wanted everywhere they went. The idea of talking about the worst places to travel basically relied on showing which had the least pleasurable accommodations or the fewest English speaking people in the world. Back then, the world was a more peaceful place, filled with exotic sights and fun locals to meet.

Strangest Places In New Jersey
New Jersey has always been regarded as being a little... odd. Ever since the days of the Last Royal Governor, Ben Franklin's illegitimate and loathed son, New Jersey has been the butt-end of jokes. And, quite frankly, it's a little tiring. We gave you guys Frank Sinatra, Whitney Houston, Buzz Aldrin, Abbot and Costello, and Eddie Murphy (AKA the best part of Shrek), among countless others. Oh, and George R.R. Martin, so you wouldn't have Game of Thrones without this state. Nor would you have The Sopranos. Basically, HBO as a network would be nowhere without New Jersey.
