Guess what, Mango?

What's that, Will?

I'm not sure if you've ever been to the secret museum in New York City.

There's a secret museum?

Yeah, it's hidden in this elevator shaft, and it's pretty incredible.

And they have all sorts of weird things in there, from vintage magazines, to a weird toothpaste from around the world to the shoe that was supposedly thrown at George Bush at that Iraqi press conference.

It's so strange.

And it's all hiding in this tiny hidden museum that commuters just walk past all the time.

It's strange how many little museums and galleries there are hiding all around us. Like,

more museums in the country than Starbucks and McDonald's combined. Like, according to the Washington

Post, there are over 35,000 museums in this country. And they cover every conceivable topic. From a Forest Fire Museum in Idaho to a museum of maritime pets in Annapolis. Maritime pets? I really want that museum to just be a giant gallery of parrots owned by famous buccaneers. I'm pretty sure that's what it is. I'll have to check it out.

But doesn't it feel like a waste?

We're creating a weird summer

travel guide filled with obscure places

that deserve way more attention.

What do you say we dive in?
