Mother Nature Takes Over

An abandoned fast food restaurant in Vinton, Iowa.

I've been abandoned...

Originally a Mission style Taco Bell, most recently a place called the Shrimp House sits abandoned on US Highway 30 on the west side of Joliet, Illinois.

A different kind of fast food

Ever get tired of the same old fast food every single day. While I try to eat at independents when I actually do have fast food which is a rarity these days, here is a fast food place that offers something different from the rest.

This place is located on Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway and I have passed by it many times before I finally took a picture of it. Of course the weather was typical Portland winter wet but the place still shows it unique flavor. While the building still shows its heritage as a chain fast food place the owners have set it apart.

The Take Five Drive In in Murray Utah that closed a few years ago. It was a great place for burgers and shakes.

I love how the combination of the black and white with the snow on the ground. I think it gives a nice tone to the photo.

Here is another one of those former chain restaurants turned independent. This was once a Arctic Circle which has its headquarters in Midvale, Utah.

I was traveling from Salt Lake City to Portland when I took this picture but the place was not open on Sunday's so I had to go somewhere else.
