John's Grocery
Iowa City, IA - Hobart - Thursday, January 5th, 2006 : goo
[previous] :: [next]
This is John's Grocery in Iowa City, Iowa. I am a long time lurker who is just now posting for the first time, since Iowa is so underrepresented here. I hope you like it. I will try to post some more soon.

I'd like to see more Iowa. Looks pretty. Do you know why the windows on the ground floor are bricked up?
Isn't Captain Kirk from Iowa?
Hobart: 5th Jan 2006 - 20:03 GMT
The windows are bricked over because that's where their equipment and cold-storage is, I would imagine. The walls have been retro-fitted with insulation and are too thick and utilitarian in their current role to hold windows.
Captain Kirk's Wikipedia entry indicates that he is, in fact, from Iowa, perhaps a town caled Riverside.
William Shatner's hometown, however, appears to be Montreal, Quebec, Canada, a world away from Iowa, I'd assume, though I've never been to Canada, or really spend much time outside of Iowa itself, now that I look back at my life.

do you remember in blade runner how the computer could take the viewer inside a photograph? i wish that was a feature of citynoise
jethro: is this store near the oakland cemetary?

Hobart: love the photo. it's always good to see long-time lurkers posting stuff, and it's always good to see new places representing on citynoise. Man i'd sure love to see more of Captain Kirk's hometown, that's for sure.
Joey: I'm working on it ;-)
