What eye think.

Is it me, or does the logo for Vistar Eye Center bear an uncomfortable resemblance to the Sigil of The Crimson King from Stephen King’s “The Dark Tower” series?

It raises all sorts of questions for Vistar’s patients.

But you and I are on The Path of the Beam, folks.

NOLAN TOURS.

Care to visit my gorgeous little Bible Belt city?  I’ve been making these videos since 2018.

They’re not professional-grade or anything — like those Youtube walking tours of Athens or Rome.  I have both a shaky hand and a shaky understanding of how to film things.  Hell, in a couple of these videos I inexplicably kinda forgot how to walk.  But you can still see how perfect my adopted home is.

I actually was a tour guide for a while when I was a college student.  I was actually really good at it; it was back during the time before I hated people.

Elmwood Park, Roanoke, VA, June 2021

This is Elmwood Park and its amphitheater in Roanoke, VA. I apologize for the shaky-cam. I am also aware that “open-air amphitheater” is probably a redundancy, so I’m sorry for that too. I’m not even sure that I can spell “amphitheater” without autocorrect.
