the posh to the practical, there are literally hundreds of places

up, offering travelers some pretty 'out of the ordinary' places to
'rest for the night'. Our Michelle Alegria checked a few out!!

Information on Standing Ovation |
You know the saying, one man's trash is another man's treasure? Well,
Fritz Kielsmeier, a Chicago artist, transforms broken or as he refers
to them, "musically crippled" guitars, violins, cellos and piano parts
into works of art that allow the instrument to provide visual pleasure
when their musical contributions have ceased! Doug Banks checked it
out.
