    This is the first time I've opened this thread.

    I believe that is mildly interesting considering I didn't realize how many cool things are in here. I'll have to start from the beginning and catch up.

      You made the third post in this thread, some 2.5hrs after I started it.

        Ancient Croatian road. Pretty cool for 7,000 years ago.

            The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                I guess great minds think alike.

                You don't suppose that Hunter and the big guy were involved.

                  There are not many McDonald's Arches left.

                  I drove past this one in Winter Haven, Florida a couple weeks ago. It was a surprise. The depressed middle-aged McDonald's reminded me of this.

                  This is one of the 12 McDonald's locations in the United States that still sport that vintage sign after all these years.

                    There's one with the original "hamburger man" logo in addition to the singular arch in PA. Used to live right by it. I believe what that means is that the location owns both the land and the business.

                                    Gardiner was still performing as a steeplejack as late as 1926, whereupon he suddenly disappeared. It is said that a man matching his description was found beaten and deceased in Paris France at the foot of the Eiffel Tower in 1933. But it’s unknown whether it was actually Gardiner, or just an unlucky tourist.
