Happy 213th Birthday Edgar Allan Poe! We wouldn’t live up to our blog name if we didn’t celebrate the master of the macabre. In a normal – non-pandemic – year, I’d fly up to the Poe Museum in Richmond and attend the all-day birthday bash they hold for this special occasion. 12 hours on a Saturday of tours, lectures, bands, and performers, and even a giant birthday cake. It is a lot of fun and meaningful for a dedicated Poe fan or one who wants to learn more about him. Due to the ongoing health crisis in the world, the museums had to adapt and move to virtual activities. The kick-off to the celebrations is a live toast on the Poe Museum’s Facebook page on Wednesday, January 19th, from 8 – 9:00 PM. Don’t miss it! Below is the schedule of virtual tours for you to check out. 1,000 Ways…

The Capturing the Spirit of Oakland tour held at Atlanta’s Oakland Cemetery is back for its 15th year and will be held in person. The tour is one of the most popular events held in Atlanta in October. The spirits of the residents appear on their burial plots to tell you their stories and the history of Georgia during their time on earth. More historical than frightening, it’s an amazing annual opportunity to stroll through the cemetery in the dark with paths lit only by lantern carrying docents and the residents’ plots. The docents and performers are all dressed in period costumes which adds atmosphere to the evening. At night, the backlit city of Atlanta is beautiful to see as you stand among the living and the dead. This will be the 7th time we’ve participated in the tour! In a normal year, we’d drive down into the city and…
