neighborhood history
Oh, this? Just a run-down laundry (that seems to have run so far down that it is out of business) in an even more run-down neighborhood.
It feels like maybe at one point the plan was to repaint the whole sign, but the project was abandoned only two letters in.

in/motion
I was just waiting out the layover time by practicing taking blurry pictures. (Some people are especially gifted and can get blurry photos without even trying!)
But the other thing I was doing was laughing about the name of the store on the other side of the walkway.

too big to survive
I know for sure that this was the longest car on the whole block and feel confident that it was also the longest car in the entire town.
I tried to imagine parking a car this long…do you think there were smaller cars that operated like tugboats to nudge it into place?
Also, my shooting partner and I were surveilled while we were there – the business owner and his wife drove over* to see what we were up to after his camera alerted him that there was someone walking around. He was sort of belligerent at first but we were charming. According to us. Also we were on the public right of way so we sort of had that on our side and they decided to let us stay.

*They wheeled up so fast it was like something was on fire.
product/placement
I drive by this mashup of informational signage on a fairly regular basis, and finally stopped to get the photo that was in my head all along.
You’re welcome.

i have questions
Couple of questions here:
- Why does that waterfowl need binoculars to look at the barricade that is RIGHT THERE?
- How TF is that same waterfowl holding the binoculars in the first damn place?
