A Texas Homecoming
Greetings, Vocal readers and subscribers! Recently, I had the opportunity to visit a familiar place that I haven't been to in almost 15 years. I've expressed my love for my hometown of Arlington, Texas in numerous stories on Vocal. Fow two days, it was my time to do some sight-seeing and nothing more. This long overdue vacation was solely about me, not about visiting family, as I've been estranged from them since 2011. I'll share a collage of pictures from my two-day stay in Arlington throughout this story. Just for reference, I took over 200 photos, so not every one of them will be featured.

Signs That You Grew Up in Texas
Greetings, Vocal creators! We're going to talk about arguably the best state in this country. I'm talking about Texas and it's also my home state, in case you didn't know. Nicknamed The Lone Star State, it has over 31 million people as of 2024 and is the second largest in the country. Last year, I wrote a story about the things that I loved about Arlington, which is where I'm originally from and where I grew up. Some notable people from the 28th state include Matthew McConaughey, Nolan Ryan, Matthew Stafford, and Willie Nelson. You can read the full story by clicking the link down below. The following entries are not in any particular order.

Q Zaka
at the local mall where I like to go there is a store that specializes in Japanese culture and Pop Culture as well as culture in general. There was a section that offered Japanese snack food such as pocky and a japanese soda. At the back of the store there is a section of anime dolls and also other merchandise associated with all of the shows that are sold there.

American Motels vs. Hotels
If you ask most Americans today what the difference is between a motel and a hotel, you’ll likely get a shrug. “They’re the same thing, right? One is just cheaper?” No, not quite. The difference between a motel and a hotel isn’t just about price or star ratings. It’s about how America moved, how it paused, and how it learned to travel.

10 Times Tourists Completely Ruined Priceless History
There’s something magnetic about ancient architecture and historic artifacts. Whether it’s a crumbling amphitheater, a sacred temple high in the mountains, or a centuries-old painting in a quiet chapel, we’re drawn to these places. Maybe it’s the mystery. Maybe it’s the legends. Maybe it’s the simple realization that these structures have survived hundreds, sometimes thousands of years.

What to Do in Lisbon When It Rains
Rain in Lisbon doesn’t have to ruin your trip. In fact, after three winter visits — and more than a few umbrellas sacrificed to sudden Atlantic downpours — I’ve learned that the showers here are usually fast, dramatic, and intense. The trick is simple: duck inside somewhere beautiful, wait it out with a coffee or a slow wander, then head back to the cobbled streets once the sky clears and everything smells freshly washed.
