A place you have never been. by Fonne Tayne

April 8th, 2007 6:07 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Go Here
Now copy the random word go to Google maps
Select find business and enter the random word in the left text field and your address in the right address field.

Go to the first business listed that you have never been to.

ADDENDUM: write the word permanently or semi-permanently outside the business.

So I started this earlier, but wanted to finish. In the daytime.


First things first: I had gone to the random word generator, and what I got was 'rapport.'


I followed instructions, and. lo and behold, there were two interesting places, (A) and (B) - and they were approximately equidistant from my home. Also, google informs me that the two locations are in opposite directions, more or less. What to do with such an opposition?

The first was a burger place.

It's off to number two.

Now, the worst part about this was that I actually sent in a resume to these people way back when. But I'd never been, thinking they were downtown. So I looked just to see, cause I had no idea they were quite so close by.

This sidewalk looked ready for the addendum.



photographic proof will be here soon!
