Paris vs. Grand Forks
A number of weeks ago Trevor blogged about their trip to Paris. Around that same time my wife and I went on our own little trip, mind you we only made it to Grand Forks. Okay I know what you're thinking. It doesn't even hold a candle to Paris and well.... you're right. It doesn't. But it does have some interesting small town Americana, signs that capture my eye and of course my lens.
One night I went out with my camera and had some fun capturing what I feel are the best parts of Grand Forks. At least the best parts that I found on a short night's drive.
Enjoy the lights of ND.
This is great, a drive up LC.
The interior and exterior of the famous Whitey's, serving patrons since 1925.
My favorite place to roll ten.
I had to add this next one, not as a great photo - but you just need to eat at the Texas Roadhouse anytime you are in Grand Forks. Fantastic steak! Closest I've come to Texas this near the 49th.

Nice to see Grand Forks (and you) keeping the Googie spirit alive.
Wow, I never knew it was called Googie, but I love it. I've always loved that Jetsons look and often recorded it with my lens.
I smell another book idea. Only thing is someone has done it already - and done it very well.
Dude, there is always room on the shelf for another book! Just let me know if you need any extra words.
Groovy. Love the bowling alley shots. Don't it seem like bowling alleys always have the coolest signs?
Bowling alleys always have great signs.
Maybe that's what my book should be about.
As always cuz - great shots!
Thanks man!
