My travels this week took me down to Norfolk, VA. I go there a couple of times a year to photograph some of the ships in the area. On the way back, I tried to stop at a place called President’s Park – an amazing little attraction with massive presidents’ heads. I was dismayed to learn that the park apparently had to shut down for financial reasons. It would be a very short fence to hop and go in, though… perhaps on a subsequent (warmer) trip, I will do a little trespassing. In the meantime, I snagged some photos from beyond the fence.
You heard me right – they changed the name. What was once the Wild Animal Park is now the San Diego Zoo’s Safari Park. These kind of changes always baffle me. There’s nothing wrong with the previous title and it’s how everyone knows the place. But a chat about branding should take place somewhere off this blog, where I have chosen for my business name … my name.
I love this ridiculously dramatic name for a fruit stand. George and I took a short walking break from the eating on Thanksgiving to go visit this hyped-up roadside fruit stand in-between festivities on Thursday. It’s a pretty neat place, and they have juice.
