I’m lazy, so look at my pictures of highways

I spent the week in Illinois. You know what that means!
Here’s another rare find along Chicago’s Interstate 55. This highway sure does have a highly developed sense of humor. (One of its other features, a subliminal advertisement for California Pizza Kitchen, has playfully toyed with my heart since I was wee.)
I think I swerved across three lanes while attempting that photo, thus ironically increasing my chances of “getting plowed.” This site is so gonna come up on google searches for “getting plowed”. Ugh. Yes!
Then there’s this:
The Interstate 294 shot I always wanted to remember to take and now I have. I rule! It’s an Entenmann’s FACTORY! I’ve always missed it because it pops up right before O’Hare and I’m always busy rummaging through my candy stash for the flight or realizing I left my passport in a different car or something. I’d usually make some sort of exasperated sound, like “Enhhhh!” to which my concerned parents would be like “What?!” And then I’d keep silent, because “I just missed taking a f—ing photo of the Entenmann’s factory — AGAIN” isn’t exactly how I like to be remembered, post-visit.
Kidding! Look, mom and dad! Entenmann’s factory! Remember me?

I love how New Yorkers are far more entertained by the things we see in our Midwestern homelands than any Midwesterner could really be about anything in NYC. I mean–you can see photos of the Statue of freakin’ Liberty if you want to, but where on earth can I find a postcard of a restaurant off the highway called “FOOD” next to an adult bookstore and ten minutes from the fireworks store placed exactly on the Michigan-Ohio border to lure visitors seeking to circumvent Michigan’s stringent explosive laws?
God, I used to love Entemans. Those coffee cakes with the raspberry jelly and the frosting and the…mmmm
