Places, Please July 2018
Movies are great ways to see the world for the simple price of admission to a theater. As mental travelers, we can be transported to tranquil places like the mountaintops of Tibet, walk amidst the glitz and glamour of the Las Vegas Strip, or appreciate the unusual sights of life in a big city. Movie settings can also evoke a moment in history, or perhaps inspire us to take a trip to that very spot to see it for ourselves.
