NEAT-O


I came up with the tongue-in-cheek name for this column by thinking of the typical reaction someone has when they learn something profound about something very ordinary. The ultimate aim of Neat-O is to provide mini histories about our holidays, iconic figures, landmarks, and celebrations, so that we all have a better understanding of things often taken for granted.
