I think Americana is pretty interesting in a way. It's like a memory of a memory of a culture that once existed that is now mass produced in China or sold piecemeal at Michaels. Nothing new created, just a slavish adherence to an aesthetic that is comical in its mimicry.

Somebody felt the need to post a picture of their meal.  There are other pictures from that casino of some of the grossest meals. Are the meals free or cheap there?

I'm fairly certain that almost every culture has their own dumplings and their own fried dough. I can't think of a dumpling I didn't like.

Aardvark! posted:I'd love to find some other abundant sources of amateur photography. Google Maps Reviews are a deep well, but there's whole areas of content (hunting/fishing stuff, house parties, etc) that would own. There was a guy on flickr that was buying up all kinds of americana style pictures from estate sales and posting them, I'll see if I can find it again, it's been like 8 years since I last logged onto flickr. The dude had like 1000's of photos from the 50's to the 80's

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:* people with money who were going to be in publicity photos, which that clearly is. Those people pictured are not a higher strata of people, probably just middle class, the suits aren't even that nice. If you went to a restaurant with your wife you wore a suit. Most men wore suits and hats except in certain situations.

The flea markets near me (Canada) are a mish-mash of poo poo since it's basically low-rent commercial space. It consists of: Stores that sell ebay knives and trinkets Stores that sell bongs and other weed paraphernalia Used CD and Video Game stores Dudes selling repaired laptops for 30% more than what you can get them elsewhere Old people selling a few old-ish things. Usually either ugly crystal and dolls or broken tools and poo poo no one wants. Old people selling lovely furniture and appliances Liquidation clothing Local businesses selling jerky, home-made incense, belts and whatever else. And the highlight for me is the little kiosk that sells bannock

Pannenkoeken is where it's at though. Flavorful, thin and potentially crispy if made right. Gonna make some now when I get home.

charliebo313 is a youtuber that goes around the US and drives through the hoods in the local area. Sometimes he interviews people too. Not a bad channel to see what the 'inner city' is like in many of these cities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCX2qger_uo

Ontario is probably the worst offender because Ontarians want to be Americans but with free healthcare and there's a lot of cultural cross-pollination from the border. Well, don't come to Alberta.

Kraft Dinner with hamburger and mushrooms is delectable. When I was in my late teens living on my own I used to eat nothing but KD with chopped up cheap hot dogs in it.

I don't think it's about drama. It's basically stating to those who avoid the restaurant or business that the place isn't going to be as lovely any more because new people are running it.
