on friday, before leaving dublin, cati and i went on a city walk. we discovered this on a boarded up storefront:
indigo som has a project about chinese restaurants in middle-of-nowhere places. she makes an interesting point. chinese food is as ubiquitous in mainstream american culture as hamburgers and fries, and yet still considered “foreign?” interesting photos and commentary. i like the focus on the mundane and everyday.
