I have to buy some film for my F3 just to verify that it's working. I have never used a one-hour photo, but are they able to process the film and put it onto a disk instead of on those crappy 5x8's or whatever that size is?

Every photolab you'll run into these days is fully digital - they'll be able to do a CD for an extra fee. Walgreens is usually cheaper than most other places except for WalMart (when you can find a WalMart that still does film), and Walgreens generally turns out better quality.

I can see it. Either a T-bird or a Mustang for sure, though the rims look like they're from a Monte Carlo/Grand National.

We don't all drive F-350s and ride horses  Fair enough, there's nothing that overtly screams DALLAS (or for that matter, Texas) in it, unless you look at the phone # on the Hummerlimo and notice the 214 area code. But Fire Storm mentioned DC, and drgitlin said the tours had been around awhile (and he/she has a very DC-centric post history). I honestly have no idea how long the Segway tours have been around in Dallas, I don't make it downtown very often. This is the general area I was in when I took the photo - I guess it could pass for "generic big city downtown area". randomidiot fucked around with this message at 23:47 on Jan 31, 2013 |

Try telling that to anyone outside of TX. Everyone pretty much imagines this place looks like Big Bend across the entire state.
