Kentucky Office of Highway Safety's Click It or Ticket Campaign Gets Underway

Dave Spencer — Tue, 14 May 2013 19:00:41 +0000

I am proud to say that I have worn a seat belt every single moment I have been in a moving vehicle. I’m not sure what it would feel like to NOT have one on while driving or riding. I certainly hope you feel the same way. The Kentucky Office of Highway Safety has launched [...]

The Brady Bunch Returns to Kings Island May 19th [Video]

Chadwick Benefield — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 10:00:12 +0000

Remember when The Brady Bunch visited Kings Island? Well, they (at least some of them) are coming back to the park this May! I loved The Brady Bunch when I was a kid. And one of my all-time favorite episodes was the “Cincinnati Kids” episode in which they visited Kings Island amusement park and lost [...]

And when I do, I hope to discover the kinds of places you’ll find in a blog at www.buzzfeed.com. It’s called “The 33 Most Beautiful Abandoned Places in the [...]

Enjoy a Raccoon-Free Vacation in Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg

Dave Spencer — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 14:00:49 +0000
I named them Moe, Larry, and Curly. That’s because Faith, Hope, and Charity didn’t apply. A few years ago, when I vacationed with my family in Gatlinburg, we stayed in a condo. We were on the fifth floor and when we’d walk out the door, we’d be facing the slope of a mountain. Right across [...]

It's Called the Scariest Path Ever and I Can't Argue [VIDEO]

Dave Spencer — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 05:25:10 +0000
Whoever shot this has called it the scariest path ever. It’s located at El Caminito del Rey in Spain and I cannot argue. Except, however, for one thing…part of this treacherous path isn’t even a path. It’s a couple of rods sticking out of a cliff. I don’t mind going for a walk on a [...]

Chad Designs His Own Cologne at Tijon in St. Martin [Photos]

Chadwick Benefield — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 11:00:31 +0000

Move over, Calvin Klein. You and your CK One. Move your little Italian butt over too, Giorgio Armani. You and your Acqua Di Gio! Whatever. There's a new men's fragrance designer in town and his name is Chadwick Jerame! Okay, so maybe I'm no Calvin Klein. Maybe I'm no Giorgio Armani. Heck, maybe I'm not even Aqua Velva, but I did design my own cologne recently at Tijon in St. Martin and it smells unbelievable. Check this out!

How Chad's Friend Leisa Got Her Groove Back in Barbados with Cool Runnings [Photos]

Chadwick Benefield — Tue, 08 Jan 2013 12:00:03 +0000

Do you remember the movie How Stella Got Her Groove Back? In the film Angela Bassett stars as Stella, a divorced woman in her mid 40's who decides to take a much needed vacation from work and travel to Jamaica. There she falls in love with a man named Winston. But there's one minor detail (or two) about their relationship. #1- Stella has been out the dating game for quite a while. #2- Winston is half her age. Well, imagine my surprise this past December when my friends and I traveled down to Barbados for a much needed vacation and my friend Leisa, like Stella, got her groove back! Well . . . kinda!

Kizzy Says She's a "Volcano of Desire" for the Men of Country [Audio]

Chadwick Benefield — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 11:27:38 +0000

Yesterday here at WBKR.com, I shared vacation photos from my trip up Mt. Liamuiga in St. Kitts. Liamuiga is an active volcano on the island and some friends of mine and I had the privilege of hiking to the top of it. You can check it out HERE! But Kizzy called The WBKR Waking Crew yesterday morning to let me know that I didn't need to cruise all the way to the South Caribbean to see one of these wonders of nature. As she puts it, SHE is a volcano ready to explode. LOL! This is HILARIOUS!

Chad Climbs Mt. Liamuiga in St. Kitts with Poinciana Tours [Photos]

Chadwick Benefield — Thu, 03 Jan 2013 12:00:28 +0000

Shortly after having my hernia surgery in November, I asked my surgeon (Dr. Decker) if I could climb a volcano. He kinda laughed and said, "Well, you may wanna practice. I'd hate for you to get halfway up and realize it was a really bad idea!" Hey, Doc! I didn't spend 8 months of the year doing incline training on the treadmill for nothing. I didn't have three holes poked in my lower abdomen and risk losing body parts to sit around the house all Christmas! See, I knew I was headed to St. Kitts during my annual December cruise and that I was going to tackle Mt. Liamuiga, the island's beautiful, but daunting volcano. And I did it! And I have the photos (and the inhaler) to prove it.

Jordan Winders — Mon, 24 Dec 2012 22:15:42 +0000
Well it looks like a white Christmas may be out of the question this year. However, you never know what the weather will hold. We could even see snow in the next few days! With that in mind I have been thinking about winter driving. I remember a few years after I moved to the [...]

Travel Website Names Louisville Top Vacation Spot [VIDEO]

Dave Spencer — Sat, 08 Dec 2012 01:30:38 +0000

I like Louisville as much as the next person. The Bardstown Road area is one of the coolest neighborhoods in the country. I could spend a couple of hours in Cave Hill Cemetery soaking up the history. And, of course, there's the Kentucky Derby.

South Korea's New Toilet Theme Park

Chadwick Benefield — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 13:00:42 +0000

I love theme parks. If you ask me, nothing beats riding The Voyage at Holiday World or zipping through the Indiana Jones Adventure at Disneyland. I have loved theme parks since I was a kid. But I have NEVER seen anything quite like this. South Korea is home to a brand new theme park that pays tribute to the TOILET! And, trust me. I only wish I was kidding. Pardon the pun, but enjoy this sneak peak inside the bowl . . .
