Yeah, Chris Bianco's good, but he's not the village farmer trudging up the cobblestone path with a bucket of wholesome freshness. We can't figure out just what it is that makes the food so delicious, the sleep so deep, the sun so warm in a good way , and we sure as hell can't figure out how to get it back here to the Valley.
Leave leaning towers and naked statues to the tourists. Vitiana is the real dolce vita. Friends often accuse us of having our heads in outer space. They don't know the half of it. Since childhood, we've dreamed of becoming astronauts. Alas, our feeble skills in science and math ruled out such a career path. So pending the day when the whole space-tourism thing becomes a more practical and affordable reality, the closest we're getting to trekking among the stars is by visiting the Challenger Space Center in Peoria.
This futuristic-looking facility offers a pair of simulated missions, where Neil Armstrong wanna-bes can participate in a pair of interactive two-hour experiences replicating to a certain degree a journey through the final frontier and life aboard the International Space Station. Participants also get a turn at working as a flight crew in the million-dollar mission control facility inspired by the Johnson Space Center in Houston.
After sitting in the Earth Space Transit Module which "transports" you into the cosmos , you can either help launch interstellar probes to encounter celestial bodies during "Rendezvous with a Comet," or take an excursion to the red planet in "Voyage to Mars. Don't worry about motion sickness; there's no movement involved. It's more a cerebral adventure involving video screens that's somewhat akin to the old Mission to Mars ride at Disneyland — just without all those creepy-looking animatronic automatons.
We all know how excruciating modern urban life can be. We work like dogs, drive like animals, and shove fast food down our throats between dentist appointments and birthday parties. And in a city of cars, there's hardly an escape from the constant drone of engines flying by on bustling streets.
But we stress "hardly" because we've found one of the best escape pods in the Valley. As it's tucked away behind the museum's patio, it's no surprise that visitors often cruise right by, missing their opportunity to put on the brakes and chill. This simple, elliptical room is made of slate-gray concrete with a block bench lining the curvature of the walls.
Look up to its tall ceiling and you'll see our crystal blue heavens through its oval skylight. The walls block out the noise, the skylight makes the room glow, and the rounded enclosure feels like a warm embrace. Frantic thoughts and everyday anxieties disappear like magic and you are left to just be.
Even in the dead of summer, we've spent chunks of time in the room, hardly noticing the heat. And if you happen to visit at night, a subtle glow achieved by expertly placed lighting will make you feel like you just popped a Vicodin.

They work, and then when something happens, they don't want to work anymore," Olaguez said.
Looking for help, Olaguez turned to Steve Gallion and his team of ghost hunters with Sonoran Paranormal Investigations. Gallion said he jumped at the opportunity to inspect the supposedly haunted bar. Sonoran Paranormal Investigations brings their hi-tech gear to dozens of unusual places, like Saddle Horn. The Phoenix location of Ghost Donkey is set to share an address with two other new concepts. The spot's catchphrase: "Honey, it's time for champagne.
The other concept is called Palma. So far, the only wording on social media about this concept instructs customers to "retreat to the palms behind the lanes. We'll keep you posted as more information about these two new concepts becomes available. Until then, we'll be eagerly awaiting our own donkey-painted door on Roosevelt Row.
