I've never eaten much bologna, and never in fried form. I barely remember what it tastes like, maybe like hot dogs I guess? Lebanon bologna though is a favorite of mine

Monkey Fracas posted:trawl about on this website fore a while: https://www.roadsideamerica.com/ This fella is along Route 66, and interestingly enough is not the only casting of it on the road. In Illinois (iirc) there's a giant spaceman holding a rocketship that's just this sculpture with a helmet and remodelled hotdog. Also the roadside burger place it's connected to does loving /amazing/ milkshakes. I think there's a third one somewhere along the route as well, but my memory is failing me. Also everyone should drive the length of Route 66 once in their lives. Absolutely amazing, and probably the best holiday I ever took.

that reminds me there's the really weird american ideal of what route 66 was, perpetuated by people who were not alive in its heyday at all. idyllic visions of service stops, sock hops, motor motels. reconstructions of things that quite frankly were never real in the first place, meanwhile major sections of route 66 are in total decay, superseded by the modern interstate system

naem posted:factories shut down overnight and employees returned to padlocked doors and a sign saying “you’re fired,” and none of those jobs have ever been replaced. Most of Detroit's hollowing out started in the late sixties / early seventies after the riots, and most of those people just moved into nearby suburbs. The factory closings didn't start until later. Same thing happened in Pittsburgh after school desegregation, hundreds of thousands of people moved out of the city into the inner ring suburbs in the early seventies, a decade before the steel mills started closing. Deindustrialization is always used as a post hoc justification for why these cities hollowed out, but the hollowing out started during the civil rights era.

We took a picture next to the big "Route 66" sign that is framed by 1000 shuttered business that make up the town.

Still was amazing. This was in 2009 though, so I suspect it wouldn't be the same nowadays, especially some of the more rural and poor parts of it.

Waterbed Wendy posted:There's the Australian Bakery Cafe in georgia where you can get authentic meatpies. We used to go in the summer and see shakespeare in the square in marietta square. They were always delicious and I had never had anything like them before, they also sold australian candy and soda. A lot of fanta flavors you couldn't get anywhere else besides australia I assume. I keep meaning to pay that place a visit. Maybe next time I'm in the area.

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:Detroit may be unique in that it's the only economically healthy city in recent history that was just wholesale abandoned due to demographic shifts. Both sides of family are from Detroit. Both sides left the city after the riots. It was really the triple whammy of rising crime, insane interest rates on loans/mortgages, the ability to get insurances, and some of the worst political leadership in the country that lead to the mass exodus from Detroit. My grandparents decided to move when there was a guy killed by automatic fire gun (either an Uzi or a Tommy gun, depending on which of their neighbors you believed) at one of the bus stops, and none of the cops would even show up. After the riots, the cost to get anything done sky rocketed, and there wasn't really anything Detroit offered to make it worth staying, so all injection plants left for Dearborn, the concrete plants left for the Northwest, the scrappers, smelters, and forges either moved closer to the oceans or just lost their shirts altogether to a rebuilt Europe, Russia, and Japan, and we even lost our shipping yards to Chicago's much better planned management. Those were the fatal blows that made it go from a metropolis with a segregated populace to a Scooby-Doo ghost town. Continued mismanagement made sure Detroit stayed that way (with a handful of exceptions).

I just found some pics of a state fair I was at and the Moving Vietnam Wall. I was in LOVE with the cows. I was like a little school girl walking around there. And a sign I found in New Mexico. I'm not used to rattlesnakes here in WI.
