Yeah yeah, I understand that thisiswhatwehadfordinner food pictures are made for registered yelp users and roadfood.com enthusiasts and personal blogs of people that take pictures of their food and their feet in crazy places, but consider this a genre post. And consider that you are looking at a baby greek salad from National Coney Island. You can't get that anywhere.
Only in Michigan.
Did you know the term Michigander was coined by Abe Lincoln?
My Michigany list this week:
People stopping by (Michigan small towny)
Pop (I've had a lot of it here)
75 mph MINIMUM,ok?
Sightings of new/test Chevy/Ford vehicles
Farms, cherries, beets, apples
Chicken Shawarma (I dream of the old La Sish when they still had gobs of weapons on their walls)
Kellogg Sanitarium
Unsolved small town murder
Got in way, way later than I anticipated. Wouldn't have been a big deal if my night vision hadn't been impaired by bug-guts-on-the-windshield glare for the last hour. Forgot about the time zone change, ran into a couple traffic jams, and some surprising slow fast food service in southern Indiana.
All of that will get you to a place called Pure Michigan.
It's been a weird couple weeks. For example, I saw these guys dressed up like lime heros driving down Walnut Grove waving at people and falpping their lime capes around and I spotted a vanity plate that said YU1DRNG. Did the owner of that plate know I would be wondering about chubby dudes dressed up like green fruity super heros?
I'll be back on the road soon. My tumblr will be the place to check for updates. More content here soon.
