Rosie the Riveter Statue in Clarksville, Indiana

Tucked into the scenic Ohio River waterfront of Clarksville, Indiana, this cheerful tribute to one of America’s most enduring cultural icons invites visitors to become part of the story. The vibrant, full-color statue depicts Rosie the Riveter — arm flexed, bandana tied, and ever-ready with a confident “We Can Do It!” — framed perfectly for selfies with the Louisville skyline glinting across the river.

But this Rosie is more than a replica of a World War II poster. She honors Rose Will Monroe, a real riveter whose life embodied the grit, independence, and can-do spirit that made Rosie a symbol of wartime America.

A young widow with two children, Monroe left rural Kentucky to work on B-24 bombers in Michigan. There, she was filmed promoting war bonds and became one of the figures associated with the Rosie legend.

Trafalgar Cemetery in Gibraltar

At first glance, it looks like a manicured scenic park, then you notice the tombstones. White-painted rocks border neat flowerbeds containing beautifully restored tombstones.

Palm trees and shrubbery watch over the dead, while one side of the cemetery is dominated by the city wall, and the other side protected by black railings. Trafalgar Cemetery is maintained by The Gibraltar Heritage Trust, and was originally known as the Southport Ditch cemetery, as its location was used as a defensive ditch when the Spanish ruled Gibraltar.

It was consecrated in 1798 and used for burials until 1814. It’s positioned just to the south of the city walls and is open every day, from dawn to dusk.

Neuhaus Chocolate Shop in Brussels, Belgium

Belgium is known mainly for its waffles, fries and praline chocolate. While it is hard to pinpoint an exact origin for the first two, one can in fact still buy the original pralines at the shop where they were first sold in 1912.

The Neuhaus chocolate shop started its life in 1857 when Jean Neuhaus moved from Switzerland to Brussels. He initially stared an apothecary where he was selling medicine wrapped in chocolate to make it more palatable to take.

While this was a lucrative business, he soon found that people were keen on eating his chocolate shells even without the medicine, and thus under the guidance of his son they also started selling chocolates and licorice for general consumption. When Jean's son Frédéric took over the shop it completely slipped selling medicine and focussed on sweets, slowly innovating the products.
