pics of my town

[carrie721]

so, i'm always really curious about what other people's towns look like. so i thought i'd post some pictures of mine. i took these today while walking home from work. it was a really weird day because the sun was out, but there were also a lot of dark clouds in the sky.

here i am standing on the bridge downtown, facing north. the white building in the background is the tallest building in kent ... a grain silo!



franklin square deli. this is where i toil daily, making sandwiches for unappreciative bastards. i mean ... customers.



here's a nice autumn-y shot. kent's a nice-looking town, kinda. that building on the corner that i'm facing used to be thompson's, a cool, locally-owned drug store. now it's smokin' tattooz. yeahhhhh. one of five tattoo shop in a two-block area.



another tattoo shop. this one's sparky's tattoos. sparky's an asshole and comes to the deli way too often. and smells bad. but look - he'll pierce both your nipples for $60! sweet ****!



here we go. this is turnup records, complete with chinese-lantern-cum-turnip in the window. they sell second hand vinyl and communist/conspiracy-theorist literature.



this is a "headstone" at the mock cemetary for extinct species of north eastern ohio. poor big-eared bats!



right after 9/11, someone threw a brick through those front doors.



and finally ... my street. you can't see my house, though ... it's on the right, after that stop sign.



ok, who else wants to share?
