A railway bridge, Google, coffee shop

I told [livejournal.com profile] sovay about this railway bridge--the tracks are gone now; it's a hiking trail--for the Delaware & Hudson line. There are dandelions and sumac growing on this bridge now.

The D&H

I do love its flourishing style and debatable quotation marks . . .

The D&H

Here, the restaurant instructs passersby to Google the chamber of commerce for menus (though I like reading this as "Google chamber"--do you dare to enter the Google chamber?)

Google chamber

But a church in the same town warns that you won't find all your answers through Google

A church opines on Google

Past the church, the coffee shop has its doors open--maybe you'll find some answers in a cup of . . . Java? Joe? What other names for coffee? ("Java," by the way, is used as a name for coffee in The Grapes of Wrath---I didn't know the slang was that old.) [livejournal.com profile] osprey_archer, I thought of you when I took the coffee shop photos :-)

I like that bridge, and its rusting shield.

See, I read Google as being Beth Chambers' spouse! At least we know their surname now. :)

ETA: I first heard the term "Java" in an Ink Spots song, but I'm fairly sure "Grapes" predates that.

LOL, and for a moment I thought "Grapes" was another name for coffee :-P
