Inside the Town Where Cell Phones Are Banned (Appalachia)



Inside the Town Where Cell Phones Are Banned (Appalachia)

Hey there Reader,

Deep in the Appalachian Mountains lies one of the strangest places in America, a region where cell phones, Wi-Fi, and even microwaves are supposedly against the law.

The internet is full of wild claims about why this place exists, so we traveled there to separate fact from fiction. What we discovered was far more surprising than we expected.

Thank you to our friends at Turo for making this adventure possible! Book your summer-ready car here.

Go make the memory,
Cole + Emily

Inside The Town Taken Over By Fish Hey Reader, We just released a new episode of Unique America, and this one took us to a tiny town in upstate New York that becomes a completely different place every fall. Pulaski is home to only about 2,500 people — but when the salmon start running up the river, thousands of fishermen pour into town. On the busiest weekends, the population can come close to tripling. And you notice it almost immediately. People are walking through downtown in waders. The...

Inside the Marine's Most Unique Tradition Hey Reader, Our newest episode of Unique America is live, and this is one we’ve been especially excited to share with you. We were given rare access inside Marine Barracks Washington, 8th & I, where we spent two days training alongside the Marines entrusted with representing the Marine Corps through some of its most important traditions and ceremonies. And when we say training alongside them, we mean it. We put on the uniform. We learned ceremonial...
