Duncan Madog was there

Tuesday, October 28th, 2014

You can’t see Duncan in the picture, but you can see the Dunkin Donuts.

Grand Opening of Fort Collins’ Dunkin Donuts shop

Duncan Madog just got his bath at Camp Bow Wow and on the way back we saw the people lined up for donuts at the new Dunkin Donuts on College Avenue. I didn’t wait for a donut, but I got a free cup of coffee and I snapped a few pictures of the glorious event; note the police car parked nearby.

“Route 66!—“

Friday, August 1st, 2014

At the Polk-a-Dot:

Since 1956

Yes, the 1950’s are alive at the Polk-a-Dot where the woman’s restroom is adorned with all sorts of pictures of Elvis (The men’s room have Marilyn). Outside there are life-sized statues of The King and other 50’s notables.  It’s in Braidwood, Illinois along the historic US 66 route.

Betty Boop?

The life sized? hydrocephalic cartoon character is still popular, and, according to her website there is going to be a new full length cartoon coming to your neighborhood theaters soon! Too bad the locals in Braidwood have to go to Wilmington to see it.

Braidwood Zoo?

Created by Jack Barker of Essex, Illinois. They have a kind of Bill Swets outsider art look but more organic and not so extinct. Located across from the Polk-a-Dot.

Includes a chrome plated sculpture!

…of something. Some Braidwood businesses bought some of Jack’s sculptures for display in this little park. I think the town of Timnath was going to do the same with Bill Swets’ animals but I don’t think that’s gonna happen.

Thankgiving and truck #2

Thursday, November 28th, 2013

We think its a food truck for brothers and whores, maybe:

It’s called “Broze & Hoze”

And on the top of their Twitter feed they say “Get that Ho and bring her down for some food, Bro.” There was a website, but today I noticed that it’s not working.

Per the Urban Dictionary:

BROZE: A difficult or testing situation. Usually uttered by a farmer after his tractor broke as silage was being made, or other vital agricultural times.

HOZE: Commonly considered a more gangsta spelling alternative for “hoes,” which is a term for ladies of ill sexual repute.

THANKSGIVING: Another excuse for Americans to spend an entire day eating

Have Fun!

Common Link Number 3 on the list

CSU grad starts a mobile biz:

Gnomes on a bun

with Belgian fries and uncommon food like Mac ‘n cheese stuffed hotdogs, Jackalope, Elk, or pheasant sausage and mayby some strange burger or BBQ sandwich… I see that they will be parked on West Pitkin Street at CSU next Tuesday. I’ll have lunch there after Geology class.

Food Truck #4

The Cupcake Cruiser:

Cupcakes might be the big rage in FoCo Land

…Or not, depending on who you ask. Then again, some guy named Doug thinks FoCo is the “Crown Jewel” of whatever and says it’s the area to set-up no less than three (3) Dunkin Donut shops. Can’t wait.
