I like this a lot. It reminds me of the animal graveyard in The Lion King.

In the process of doing some genealogical research, I learned some semi-interesting things. Yay Wikipedia!
  1. Lynwood, a city in south Los Angeles county, is not a "wood" like a tree-filled area. It is named after someone actually named Lynn Wood.
  2. Maywood is really proud of the fact that it's supposedly the first American city to outsource all of its city services. Sounds more like something you should be really ashamed of to me, Maywood!

I am sure I've posted this photo way too many times, but I love it. It's taken from inside Alcatraz looking out to the bay through a small hole in the wall.

Hotel Motel Holiday Inn

It's kinda weird to be both a motel and an inn, isn't it? Especially since Motel is just a portmanteau of hotel and motor.
