The Blockbuster in Ridgewater Plaza

20 years into the future and I’m porting old journal posts to the album here, finding the original photos to move beyond the original ones that were 600 pixels wide.

This moment from a Long John Silvers drive thru was never posted, but as I dug around to figure out where it was taken, I was transported back to Pleasant Ridge with the not-particularly good photo below.

There in the corner? Blockbuster! Long gone.. and a bigg’s and Golden Corral. They’re gone too. McDonalds moved across the street next to the weed dispensary.

And Long John Silvers is still hanging in there, along with the Wendy’s tucked back there on the left.

Now I want to go and photograph more of this banal stuff, preferably with better light.
