Did you ever wonder where the Internet actually is? Welcome to the Capitol of the Internet — right here in Northern Virginia, where up to 70% of the world’s online traffic passes through every single day. But don’t expect monuments, fountains, or marble domes. In this capital city, the architecture is all business — massive, windowless fortresses quietly pulsing with energy. Instead of statues of presidents, you’ll find rows of chillers and generators keeping the cloud alive. This is Data Center Alley, the world’s most connected neighborhood — the physical heart of the Internet. The “cloud”? It’s not floating in the sky; it’s humming behind these concrete walls. Every photo you upload, every video you stream, every “Alexa!” you shout — chances are, it passes right through one of these buildings. Inside, the security is next-level — part NASA, part Mission Impossible. Servers are sealed behind biometric gates, steel doors, and enough surveillance to make James Bond feel underdressed. Even employees can’t just stroll in — it takes background checks, codes, and at least one very serious guard who probably hasn’t smiled since Windows XP. So why take this tour? Because this might be the only place in the world where you can see the Internet — without Wi-Fi. You’ll meet the digital giants — Amazon, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and more — not by their logos, but by their cooling towers and substation grids. The bigger the chillers, the bigger the cloud. You’ll also discover the scale of it all: acres of land, billions of watts of electricity, and fiber cables thinner than spaghetti, carrying the world’s information faster than a heartbeat. So buckle up, digital tourist — this is your guided drive through the Capitol of the Internet. It may not have monuments or fountains, but it holds something far more powerful — the cloud itself. Your cat videos, TikToks, Facebook posts, bank data, news feeds, and even government platforms — all locked safely behind concrete walls and steel cages. Welcome to the boxy cloud — the world’s most guarded neighborhood, and the true home of the Internet.

Welcome to El Paso, Texas — the Sun City, where desert mountains meet the Rio Grande and two nations live side by side. I’m your UCPlaces tour guide, and we’re about to explore a city unlike anywhere else in America. Here, the border with Mexico isn’t just geography — it’s part of daily life. Just across the river lies Ciudad Juárez, and together these two cities form one of the largest binational communities in the world. The name El Paso means “The Pass” in Spanish — short for El Paso del Norte, “The Pass of the North.” Early Spanish explorers used this spot as a natural corridor through the mountains along the Rio Grande. It became a gateway for trade, migration, and culture — a role it still plays today. El Paso’s story stretches back hundreds of years — from Indigenous tribes and Spanish missions to frontier settlers, soldiers, and modern families who built a city that’s now a vibrant crossroads of cultures. Along this drive, you’ll see landmarks that tell that story: historic plazas and cathedrals, grand theaters, art museums, scenic overlooks, and mountain roads that reveal El Paso’s beauty from every angle. So settle in and enjoy the ride. Whether you’re here for the views, the history, or just a taste of that famous desert sunshine, you’re about to experience a city that truly bridges worlds — El Paso, Texas, The Pass of the North, where America and Mexico meet.
Welcome to this Ace RV Rentals journey north along Interstate 95, a road that links southern Maryland and New York City. Over the next several hours, we’ll travel through the heart of the Mid-Atlantic, tracing a path that blends history, nature, and the steady hum of modern life. We’ll leave behind the marble monuments and bustling Beltway, cross rivers that carried soldiers and settlers, and pass towns that helped shape the nation — from the ports of Baltimore and Wilmington to the quiet farms of Delaware and the college greens of New Jersey. Every few miles reveals a new story: a hidden creek, a battlefield, a city skyline, or a stretch of forest that’s been here since before the Revolution. As we drive, you’ll hear about the people, places, and moments that define this corridor — inventors, immigrants, artists, and dreamers who built the communities lining the highway. By the time we reach New York, you’ll have followed one of the oldest and most storied routes in America — a ribbon of road connecting the nation’s capital to its beating urban heart. Now, here’s something important for this tour to work the way it’s designed: always follow the signs for I-95 North and skip the Express I-95 lanes; stay on the regular I-95. That’s how we’ll stay on track together. If you do have to leave the route, no worries. Just restart the tour by selecting the next Point of Interest as your new starting point. The app will navigate you there, and the tour will pick up seamlessly.
Welcome to Spokane, Washington — a city where nature and culture meet in the most dramatic way possible. I’m your UCPlaces tour guide, and we’re about to explore one of the most beautiful urban landscapes in the Pacific Northwest — a place where waterfalls roar through downtown, historic architecture lines the streets, and green parks seem to pop up around every corner. Spokane sits along the Spokane River, a force of nature that has shaped this city for thousands of years. The river powered its early industries, inspired its name — which comes from the Spokane Tribe’s word meaning Children of the Sun — and still provides the backdrop for everyday life here. On this drive, we’ll follow that river’s path through the heart of the city and into its scenic bluffs. You’ll see Spokane Falls thundering beneath bridges, the elegant Davenport Hotel — the city’s Grand Dame — the peaceful gardens of Manito Park, and the breathtaking overlook along High Drive Bluff, where the valley stretches endlessly below. Along the way, you’ll discover how this former frontier town grew into a vibrant, creative community — one that honors its past while embracing everything new and outdoorsy.
