Medina Dixon, who died Monday at 59 from pancreatic cancer, was a before-her-time talent, a 6-foot-3-inch prodigy with the size, finesse, and feel for the game that allowed her to do anything on the court. https://t.co/oR4nQCXHUx

I'm grateful Kobe Bryant’s former players ("the little Mambas") & their families entrusted me to share how these girls have handled grief & moved forward since the devastation of Jan. 26, 2020. Basketball gave them family. Tragedy has given them a purpose https://t.co/cavDaXzwo7

@MarkAShanahan Ha! No way.

Earnestine & Hazel’s is a dive bar in Memphis with a wild history and is also haunted, or so they say. Globe reporters @julianbenbow and @MarkAShanahan went to find out if this is true. #TwoWeeksAmerica https://t.co/nqF5c3YvbC

Everywhere you looked on stage, and behind the scenes at the Depot Theater, in Dodge City, Kan., there were volunteers who have kept this theater going for decades. #TwoWeeksAmerica https://t.co/ZAy6xhnq4z

It sounds like a pitch for a futuristic Netflix series: millionaires sheltering deep beneath the prairie, holed up in a luxury “survival condo” complex tucked into the belly of a former missile silo. But these 14 bunker condos are real. #TwoWeeksAmerica https://t.co/rvJmmBAIwm

Some people have the Washington Monument or the Golden Gate Bridge or Mount Rushmore to associate with their first memories of a trip to the United States. Globe reporter Lissandra Villa Huerta has Cimmy the 9-ton metal dinosaur. #TwoWeeksAmerica https://t.co/BlOtk7yXUV

Kansas City, Mo., is the biggest city in the country with free public transportation, but it isn’t guaranteed past 2023. Ending the experiment could be devastating. #TwoWeeksAmerica https://t.co/wqJcAMkdIi

Women’s volleyball is beloved in Nebraska. The Huskers have sold out every home match since 2001 and have been on the court for all but one of the most packed games in women’s collegiate volleyball history. #TwoWeeksAmerica https://t.co/JWlt35FS13

Pizza at Casey’s, in Iowa, is impressively cheesy and loaded with toppings you never realized you needed on a pizza (scrambled eggs?). But be warned that the first bite will send a hot stream of grease down your chin. #TwoWeeksAmerica https://t.co/846Cr9w8Ux

Laura Fredrickson needed time to think. So the 34-year-old from St. Paul set out on a road trip. Somewhere on the way, while Googling roadside attractions, she turned up one that made her heart leap — the OZ Museum in Wamego, Kan. #TwoWeeksAmerica https://t.co/MWCoDuPkTo

It’s hard to overstate how important jazz is to the identity of Kansas City. The musicians who gig at the @GreenLadyLounge exclusively perform original compositions in the city’s style of jazz, influenced by the blues, loose and rhythmic. #TwoWeeksAmerica https://t.co/KEcUtBW1J7

We sent a dozen journalists on the road across this complex country. They found it’s better than you think. Watch what they had to say about meeting the people of America, and read their stories here: https://t.co/kiDpnJyrpx #TwoWeeksAmerica

Coming soon: The Globe sent 12 journalists on a two-week road trip across this complex country. There is more reason to hope than you’d think. Sign up for the newsletter to get exclusive dispatches from their travels: https://t.co/1SKH5i9D0L #TwoWeeksAmerica

The people they met were eminently memorable. Every one of the journalists came back changed by the experience. #TwoWeeksAmerica https://t.co/wGoLRJTfOK

The Peabody Hotel, which bills itself as the “South’s Grand Hotel,” is where wealthy folks and movie stars stay when they’re in Memphis, but the hotel’s most famous patrons are … five mallard ducks. #TwoWeeksAmerica https://t.co/AAaSk8XQZz
