Britain: On the ‘Sherlock Holmes’ Trail
by Eva Holland | 12.23.09 | 3:41 PM ET
Anglophiles and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle fans bound for the UK, take note: With Guy Ritchie’s new “Sherlock Holmes” movie due out on Christmas Day, VisitBritain has put together an extensive list of filming locations, with both the new flick and past “Holmes” film and TV incarnations represented.
The movie stars Robert Downey Jr. as Holmes and Jude Law as Watson, and looks set to add a healthy dose of action sequences and sex appeal to the venerable detective’s crime-fighting style. It’s sure to be controversial with Conan Doyle purists, but I’m looking forward to it for the armchair British travel as much as anything. Here’s the trailer:

Jan Morris Reveals her Favorite Cities
by Michael Yessis | 11.19.09 | 3:41 PM ET
She fields this question in the Guardian: What is her favorite of them all?
Dear God, what a question! To my mind cities are distillations of human life itself, in all its nuances, with all its contradictions and anomalies, changing from one year to another, changing with the weather, changing with history, changing with the state of the world, changing above all in one’s own personal responses. How can I have a favourite? Sometimes I prefer one city, sometimes another. Inconstancy governs my responses to cities—fidelity in personal matters, promiscuity in civic affairs.
Morris does have a ready answer, though, when asked about her least favorite city: Indianapolis. (Via @ben_coop)
