Fried Original

 

Visited the Original KFC located in North Corbin, KY.   We were prompted by the billboards on the interstate while traveling which led us 3 or 4 miles off the exit ramp - not exactly efficient by today's standards.  The restaurant is housed in the original building which was once part of a larger gas station/motel complex.  While some of the integrity of what it once was remains, its more or less merely a modern KFC dropped in an antique store - original appliances and packaging are showcased throughout.

Some of the original packaging.  Charming.

100 lbs. of industrial seasoning?  Great generic label.

Learn more about this place.  Not that a trip should be necessary, but an interesting roadside attraction nonetheless.

Pollenated Matchbox

This little matchbox (from Sweden that I love) was sitting beneath a vase of sunflowers on my dining table and received a little pollen treatment.
...the yellow scatter being ever so nice.

Model Trees

Read about Emma Livingston's Tree Portraits in Dwell Magazine. Each photo draws on the individual characteristics of the solo subject thereby giving it some sense of personality. Plus they have a raw, dirty street-sensibility that I just love.
