  • Florida: Norton art museum hosts exhibit of LEGO structures

    At Legoland parks, builders construct entire city skylines of LEGO bricks. In Palm Beach, the Norton Museum of Art saw art in the structures and commissioned Dan Parker, a LEGO-certified professional, to use the bricks to construct landmark buildings from around the world. The structures are part of the exhibit Block by Block: Inventing Amazing Architecture, which opens Thursday and runs through Oct. 20.

    I waited too long to file a car rental claim

    I’m suspicious about a few items in this claim. First, there’s the mysterious damage to the bottom of the front bumper. I’m not saying the bill was bogus, but I’ve handled many car rental damage claims where an employee discovered previously unseen damage to either the underside of the vehicle or the roof.
