21c Museum Hotel voted the #1 hotel in the U.S.

Conde Nast Traveler’s 2009 Readers Choice Awards just awarded the 21c Museum Hotel in Louisville, KY the #1 hotel in the United States (and #6 worldwide). Pentagram is obviously excited about the announcement because they helped design the identity, graphics, and signage for the hotel which no doubt goes very well with the contemporary look of the hotel.

I’ve never heard of the 21c Museum Hotel until just now but it certainly sounds like a place I’d love to stay in the future. With only 90 rooms available and an incredibly posh interior with luxurious amenities, it already sounds like I’ll have to save up quite a bit just to stay for one night.

This guy gets blown to the floor by an exploding propane tank

A man at Walmart in Kentucky was blasted to the floor when a propane tank in the back of his pickup truck exploded. The whole incident was caught by surveillance cameras and the video is just shocking. The man reportedly survived with some burns to his body. There’s no word on how the propane tank became inflamed.
