Ok real quick.. This is Somers Point, a small town close to Atlantic City (where all casinos are). Atlantic City will be more interesting because it's an interesting mixture of ghetto and rich at one place, but i'm afraid of some black males taking away my camera when they see it :P

My apartment house.

Nice tree i found on the way to a doctor.

Nice police car :) And doctor's office on the other side of the road.

Then i went to a store (ACME)

This is a cool anomalie. People in my region are poor and ghetto, therefore instead of carrying groceries in hand they take those shopping carts to home and then dump them in the ponds, bushes, dumpsters, etc.

Just another road on my way back.

Just a.. Delorean?! Yepp, we got those! :D

Some dragster bikes in front of a repair shop close to my apartment house.

PS: f*cker.. i cant believe i typed a huge message, tried to submit, only to learn that there is an 8 immage post limit, and went back to a blank message box :O

Sure it's not the other way around?

Hey, I've seen those shopping carts in ravines, forests, the graveyard up the street, a million places. They're often mixed with old tires, old cars, that sort of thing.

Excuse me as I follow my nose downstairs to where mom's making dinner.

Cool cherry blossoms! (I think that's what they are)

Man, it sucks people dump carts like that. Bastards.

Where's the breakdancin', bro?

Lunatique.. look, i went back to that tree just for you (j/k)

I wish I could take everyone on a photo tour of my cabin, but it'd have to be summer, and I'd have to have a camera, a computer (haven't got one of those there). Beautiful place...

Well, anyway, for now, I'll just look at other peoples' pics and marvel at how similar they look to my neighborhood, or how different.

And again: Great pics! The mirror in the store one is interesting.

Yes, cherry blossom it be. If you like that kinda thing, Luna, I'll get over to Young later in the year. "Cherry Capital of Australia" it proclaims, but there ain't much else exciting about it, apart from the many roads exiting. @;-)

Shiz, become a trolley tracker! *laughs* Thing at Woolworths here where you spot a trolley away from the supermarket, phone it in, then if you're the best trolley tracker of the month, you get a $1000 open order! w00t!!

Very sweet rides.... *drools* And what's with you on the road? IT'S COMIN' RIGHT FOR US!!

I dont know what's coming out right for you, Brain! HAR HAR
Maybe we should send that to Tom Green.. he'll become the best Trolley Tracker! (he comes back on TV).
Go take some pics, i wonder how YOU live!

Guy · Posted: Wed Apr 03, 2002 9:45 pm

*wants that time traveling car as well*

I really like this. Maybe I am quirky. But I really like getting a peek into other peoples lives.

Maybe I will organize a digital tour of Rotterdam, Netherlands this weekend.

Don't they have those magnet things on the carts? I tried to race one over a magnet strip once at some store in Long Beach. Didn't work. Although the security guard thought it was really funny that I tried.

Shopping carts? Oh do I have a picture for you...

It's a bit down the street from Wal-Mart in a ditch by the bus stop...all the lazy ghetto g's push their stuff to the bus stop in shopping carts and leave them there...and the employees are too lazy to go retrive them...so it's somewhat of a shopping cart graveyard.

edraket · Posted: Thu Apr 04, 2002 6:04 am

That implies there would be a picture a picture...right?

Giant Hamster · member Member # Joined: 22 Oct 1999 Posts: 1782

I have to go take a picture...

Hamster you bastard! Go take a picture a picture already! ARR

travis travis · Posted: Thu Apr 04, 2002 4:26 pm

hey, this is fun! the china pictures were a neat look at another land, but I weirdly enjoy looking at New Jersey ones too.

the shopping cart is too funny. my last job was at a grocery store in a ghetto-ish place so I've seen all sorts of things happen to carts.

if my digi cam didn't eat batteries like a mother I'd join in - maybe I will anyway

Hey!! I just saw Eminem! (the REAL Slim Shady hehe). He drove past me in a green mercedes and stopped at Wava. If it wasn't him, it was probably one of his clones.. But i'm pretty sure it was him because nearby there is a ghetto-esque music studio where all rap and hip hop being made.

Rat · Posted: Thu Apr 04, 2002 5:03 pm

Hey, cool! Don't tell my mom, but I really like Eminem.

Oh yeah, is that a Porche in that pic of the road? I can never tell, but it looks like one.

Brain · Posted: Thu Apr 04, 2002 6:39 pm

I'll get out and take some piccies soon, just for you. Though I don't know the area too well yet, as I only moved here a few weeks ago, but it can be an adventure for us all! @;-)

Thing is, I don't have a digital, so you'll have to wait for processing time. @:-p

Did you move to the US from Russia, Shizo?

Rat · Posted: Fri Apr 05, 2002 7:54 am

Brain - Australia, right? Cool. Almost got to go to the Sydney Olympics two years ago. Dad didn't get to go though. *damn CBC!*

[Shizo] · member Member # Joined: 22 Oct 1999 Posts: 3938

yes i did, ffrom Moscow.

pixelsoldier · Posted: Fri Apr 05, 2002 8:38 pm

Cool! Are you liking it better than Russia? Is it ... scary being so far from "home"?

Can it be that the sun always shines in america? I always thought it was a movie thing. That they only make movies during summertime. But really almost every picture or film from the USA shows blue sky and people in shirts. Some 5 days in winter you get real bad snow...but that's it, eh?

[Shizo] · member Member # Joined: 22 Oct 1999 Posts: 3938

Yeah, but when it's raining or bad weather, people dont go out much, therefore always sunny :)

Here are couple shots from Atlantic City

Sands is where i work. Dunkin Donuts is where cops park their cars and have a nice time!

This scene is the opposite side of the road. The dude was looking around for 20 minutes and then he pee'd on the wall :) Total ghetto over there, i was afraid to take out my camera to take pics.
