This was in Florida a few weeks ago, I’m from thw midwest and had never been to the state before, I knew there were a ton of lizards around and people see them all the time but I never actually knew they were invasive species!

Ahhh, gotchya!

I always grew up calling them Crab Apples until I found out apparently those are just wild apples rather than these guys lol I’d never heard them called Hedge Apples before until I looked it up more recently

Thanks! I appreciate it!

Glad to hear it! I’m lucky enough that not only does wallgreens still sell some, even though it’s only Ultramax and they only ever have a couple rolls on the shelf at a time, but the local film lab/print shop near me that I get my developing and scans done at also sells new and expired rolls, I think it’s making a bit of a comeback!

No worries, didn’t figure it went too deep lol always seems like when I mention being from KC online people go right at the barbecue. I’m a fan having grown up with it but I understand to a lot of people it’s too sweet or saucy, personally I like all the regional kinds, KC, Texas, STL, Carolina, etc.

Never been a huge sports guy so tbh the most enjoyment I get out of our superbowl wins is just getting off work early whenever they do the parade lol

Dang dude, what did we do to you? Lol

I don’t believe it has for a while, I got to go up in it once maybe 15-16 years ago as my mom’s ex boyfriend used to tend bar there for some time and he mentioned that it used to rotate but didn’t anymore. I love the look of brutalist/utilitarian architecture so it makes it one of my favorite parts of the skyline.

Actually it’s Oak Park Mall in Overland Park, KS. It’s still a fully active mall but this was right as it was closing for the day last weekend while a friend and I were leaving the arcade.

For those wondering, I just spoke to a good friend who also grew up in the same town and mentioned the traction this post got and he clarified that the roll is actually real, the holder is leftover from when the previous building burnt down decades ago but the property owners replace the roll on it every few years when it inevitibly decays and have been doing so for about 3 generations, hence why it was there when we were kids and still is now, it’s just sort of a running joke/“urban legend” for the town.

I can confirm that other than the contrast and saturation being tweaked slightly because I can’t stand when the color temp feels off in my photos, it’s completely unedited, it’s up there, and has been since I moved to that town when I was about 6, idk if it helps as proof but here it is on google streetview lol
