Coffee Along Route 66

062116

The sign on the door said “Open Tuesday.” It wasn’t clear if it referred to the upcoming Tuesday or a long-ago one.

I have my suspicions.

Diesel and happy hour

It looks like all you can get here, at a no-name business, is part of some diesel and most of happy hour.

Hard Times

I think we can all think of an Internet-based reason why a roadside adult video store may have fallen on hard times.

This place is on my regular route to work and over the past few weeks I’ve been watching the sign’s decline. The panel that says “video” is barely hanging on, the whole thing rotates around when the wind’s just right, and one of these days (tomorrow, maybe) the whole thing will fall apart.

Not Canada

Getting a little bit of a mixed message here, with the Spanish name and the Canadian flag and the Vietnamese restaurant and the actual location in Arizona. Sometimes things are more confusing than they need to be.

These are not exits

Really. They’re just not. Don’t even think you can get out through those doors.
