At 38 feet high and 50 feet long, Salem Sue is certainly impressive! She might want to get her giant veins looked at by a vet, though, they’re pretty gnarly, but that may just be vein jealousy talking since I always get the nurses who stab and stab and wiggle and can’t seem to find mine.

Spotted (and spotted)  in New Salem, North Dakota.

This is the Double R diner from Twin Peaks, but thanks to a fire that gutted it in 2000, you wouldn’t recognize it. If I owned the place, I’d have capitalized on its connection to the show and restored it instead of the ubiquitous diner faux 50s crap, but I guess pleatherette is cheap and wood isn’t. Maybe I’m expecting too much from a place that was featured on a TV show over twenty years ago. It just seems like they could do more than Twin Peaks mugs and a $2.00 crayon map.

Spotted in North Bend, WA.
