I love this photo because it's objectively hideous but it also makes me unironically nostalgic for family road trips as a child. It looks like any interstate exit circa 1998 in the rural south.
It looks like any interstate exit in the rural north too, if you ignore the specific mix of trees in the background.
The rural south and north must look pretty similar then because the photo is actually from Pennsylvania (I was mistaken). It would be pine trees if it was the south.
it's a capitalist hellscape but it's still home at the end of the day
we live in the hole they only throw trash in the hole
We live in a hole. We're in the hole. We are rats. And the rats, when they're in the hole get fucked. People only throw trash in the hole.
It may be even older than 1998.Look at the Taco Bell sign.Depends on how long they'd leave up old signage I guess.
Edit: Oldest hit on Tineye is from 2009.
Edit2: It's from 2008.
If it's not bringing in that much money, probably until it disintegrates.
I've seen Taco Bell signs like that up until maybe 2015. Around the same time they got rid of the last 1990s interiors.
But muh Soviet grey concrete and brown during a cloudy February day.
some movie i watched recently had a psychopathic guy in it talking about how they were killing natives so they could have big beautiful shopping malls in the future and that every death would be worth it
proceeds to go shoot everyone
McDonalds will not rest until there is a McDouble on the West Coast for every McFlurry on the East Coast.
Well, unlike the original this one at least doesn't openly celebrate ethnic cleansing and genocide. I guess some progress has been made over the years after all.
lmao never noticed the two Exxon stations and Walmart truck here
I think it’s along the PA turnpike. Breezewood? But it looks very similar to I81 in VA.
What kind of "Gifts and Souvenirs" would they be selling in this hellscape? Is it a gas station museum?!
there is something grotesquely beautiful about these American spaces, an inhuman chaos of asphalt and steel
