Thursday Afternoon Diversion: Around America in Five Minutes

By Kevin Robinson in Arts & Entertainment on Nov 17, 2011 9:00PM

With colder weather in town this weekend, and winter knocking on our door, today's a good day to think back to warmer weather and free times, of just this past summer. Brian DeFrees brings us a time-lapse video of his two month road trip across the United States this summer. If you must see our fair city, start at 4:32, but the whole video is pretty fun, and worth the watching time.
