I drove from Montréal to Orlando, on the highway and various exits in town, you see :
That is amazing that you see so many JC Penneys still in business
During their last bankruptcy, one of the mall groups (Simon?) bought them to add to their portfolio of dying / dead mall brands.
I assume it's some ploy to rent their own mall space to failed brands they own.
it was a few years ago :)
I went D.C.→Florida in 2023, and found it really unsettling that you get to the exact same carbon-copy of a parking lot with the Walmart in the middle, and then you enter the Walmart and it has the exact same layout as the last one you were in, down to the meanest stick of gum.
I mean I guess it's convenient when you want to find a specific item or you need to go to the bathroom, but I'm not going to go exploring the USA by car again.
Yep.
Why bother traveling anywhere in this country? Anywhere you go, you haven't left.
Still plenty of Jesus ads in GA and FL.
And several Waffle Houses on each exit.
Back in the day I followed a blogger who was a designer and also travelled over the world. He had the habit of photographing local infrastructure like trash bins, lamp posts and such. He's said, infrastructure all over the US looks the same, including even overseas territories. When one is dropped off in US Virgin Islands, they could think they's in the continental US if not for the trees.
What do Jesus ads try to sell you exactly ?
I don't know, a saving?
He's a carpenter you muppet he wanna make you tables, but in this 3D printed word business is not exactly booming...
😂 Reminds me of that sketch "I've been busy with non-carpentry work..."
