W/NW Photos of Nothing Special

Well, the original thread title was experimental, for lack of a better one. I think the photos themselves define what the thread is about, more so than the original title. A better one might be, "Ordinary Photos" or "everyday." Shore's original "Surfaces" might still be the best. Or since we are an international forum, maybe "International Surfaces" or "World Surfaces" is right.

Beyond the name of it, I envision a quality of, "You see, I have been to a number of places, and I took some of these pictures just because I felt like it, not claiming they are anything great. So it is what it is."

Rob, the original title is great and the thread is great and I and everyone else is really enjoying it. You've stretched us.

Thanks.

I like to take pictures of Rexall Drug stores. This one's in Charlevoix, Michigan.

Here's a shot of the sole singular remaining Rexall store in our area.

Back in the 60s and the 70s you could not walk a few blocks in any direction without running into at least one Rexall. Now they are close to extinct in the wild. Around here I would say that 90% of the stand-alone drug stores are either Walgreens or CVS.

This place is just a hole in the wall, or rather in a commercial vernacular corner. It's a few blocks from the main entrance to the Zoo, so I know it gets lots of drive-by traffic.
