Yeah I did mean 'the stuff around them' in those cases. But things like 'the corn palace', your local 'mystery spot' poo poo, hell, even Vegas (and I've been there a couple times). Just. No to all that crap.

Aardvark! posted:Jackson County, Texas population: 14k So this is less than two hours from Houston, and really only about an hour outside of the metro area. I'd never heard of it before, but Matagorda beach nearby is awesome. Now I'm trying to find information on diving the lake. I've only found two mentions of it on a random diving website. It's supposed to be relatively shallow (~40 feet), and silty with poor visibility. According to the park website, you are allowed to swim in the lake, but there is no designated swimming area, and they warn of venomous snakes and gators. I can't find any information on if any of the buildings or structures remain, or if that had been torn down before they built the drat. It sounds like the place was abandoned by the 1880s, and they started the drat in the 1960s. The girlfriend said she'd come camp the weekend there with me if I wanted to try to dive it, and boy is it tempting. Also probably really dumb. Edit: I'm not from Texas, but my girlfriend grew up about half an hour from there said she knew about the lake, but had never heard of the town. I'm starting to think there might not be anything there to see and that bums me out. Ironhead fucked around with this message at 22:25 on Jun 24, 2021 |

There's a multi-mile long bridge in my area that a high-school classmate of mine died on about twenty years ago. Some other kid got drunk, stole a car, and head-on smashed into my classmate on that two-lane bridge. He was an only child and his death absolutely devastated his parents. They made a (much smaller) shrine like this with one of those "Please Drive Safely: His Name" circular things. And then they went out and cleaned and straightened it every day. I drove across that bridge to get to work for almost nineteen years, and I'll be damned if every day there weren't fresh flowers, or things moved around, or a little sign or something. Every. loving Day. I drove over the bridge for the first time in about year a week or two ago and yep. Still there. Still being cared for. Eight thousand days later. I said all that to say this: Please don't drink and drive.

Some other kid got drunk, stole a car, and head-on smashed into my classmate on that two-lane bridge. You may want to consider talking to them (his parents) some time. I think they would be at least somewhat happier that someone besides them remembers their son and understands the message.

Checks out but I remember a lot more Confederate flags. My ex-wife was from Jerome, MI, a tiny town of like 200 people - only businesses there were the two churches and the deer processing plant. Rural Michigan is actually worse than the South when it comes to the racisms (not including my wife, obviously, she got out and went to college) because they don't actually have any black people but they sure as hell still seem to hate and fear them.

Aardvark! posted:Clackamas County, Oregon population 418k I worked for the Oregon City school district for nearly a decade. My boss was a terrible fundamentalist Christian woman who lived on a Christmas tree farm with her husband, and owned several original paintings by Thomas Kinkade. I was almost run over three separate times in Oregon City, once by a monster truck! (It is very hilly, so no one walks anywhere. My mistake.) Clackamas county is 30 minutes or so from Portland, but feels like a different planet. Random factoid: Cartoonist Bill Plympton made a low budget live action movie called "Guns on the Clackamas."

Oregon City's claim to fame (besides being the original capitol of Oregon) is this municipal elevator: Edit: It is still in operation. Here are the hours:  There were few, if any, pedestrians in Oregon City, so I am honestly amazed the city still pays someone to operate that thing. And it's old, so the upkeep must be expensive. The locals gleefully denied funding to the schools, but apparently the elevator is worth paying for with their tax dollars. Priorities!
