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 :-)

It is amazing how Google (and the Internet in general) has become so omnipresent in our lives and world. I still remember when it wasn't so.

I keep expecting to see "I'm feeling lucky" under that church sign. Come to think of it, under the Google Chamber sign too...

If you find yourself in the clutches of the Google Chamber, you will not be feeling lucky!

The worst part about the Google Chamber is the way they can deal out the hits.

LOL!

LOL

That puts a different spin on things. :P
