Glenn Curtis worked for Alexander Graham Bell on a short-lived project called the Aerial Experiment Association. He moved on from there to design, build and sell motorcycle engines, a few of which found their way into pioneering aircraft built by other aviators. Eager to get in on the action, Curtiss started designing planes, which eventually became a standard issue for government military and non-military contracts. But Curtiss himself was no desk jockey. He purportedly made the first officially-witnessed flight (presumably in an heavier-than-air craft) in North America, is credited with the first long-distance flight in the U.S., and entered and won a race in the first international competition for aviators, the Grande Semaine d'Aviation aviation meeting at Reims, France, held in August 1909. Curtiss's company eventually merged with Wright Aeronautical Corporation (that's right, those Wrights), to form the Curtiss-Wright Company, and entity which still exists to this day. Truth be told, I never heard of the man, his aircraft, or his engines before my visit to the museum. But for about three decades in the early twentieth century, he and his company were the spruce-and-canvas predecessor to McDonnell-Douglas and Boeing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Curtiss](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6134835/29bb7bb1-9bcf-4343-9658-1ef94c27e55a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![The Pearson Air Museum is an aviation museum at Pearson Field in Vancouver, Washington, USA.

If the street lamps should fail, well, that's not really of any concern. Say the moon itself were to pop out of the sky and go flying into space. No big deal. Because for a glorious 30 days every winter, we're able to bask in the glow of a house lit bright enough to make artificial sunshine. A sight so startling, it causes commuters to back up traffic as they sit in their cars and gape. It wasn't always that way. A few years back, the charming old couple who lives in the place started to put out a few lights to decorate their home. The next year they added a few more, and the year after that -- again -- some more. At some point, however, they seem to have developed a kind of high tolerance for luminescence. And when that happened, the floodgates were open. What you see in these photos is the early December version of what, by Christmas day, will be a kind of multi-colored solar flare emanating from the front yard of their home. It can really be a beautiful thing to behold, as anyone who sees it for the first time can tell you. And those of us who live here have accepted with pride this red and gold meteor which appears in our midst during every gloomy Northwest December. Can you blame us? We may be the only block on earth entirely visible from space. #localgem](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6134835/81ca77f8-d8f9-45cc-97ac-4d1519e6e431.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=350&h=192&q=medium) ### Downtown Vancouver Travelers come to Downtown Vancouver for its abundant dining options, and you can see top attractions like Columbia River and Clark County Historical Museum while you're in town.
