Dutchman's Store: Slight rerouting south of destination to authentic shopping of local produce, before farmers markets are officially open for season. Known as the Amish Walmart, we only visited edges of the grocery section, and avoided the dry goods. Routing through Van Buren county was suggested to us as scenic through southeastern Iowa, just north of Missouri. (Dutchman's Store, Cantril, Iowa) 20250411
El Rancherito: Unexpected brightness of chairs in Mexican restaurant disarmed us as lunch guests. Speaking with manager, the source of the furniture was Jalisco, the soul of the country. Authentic service, as waitress new to serving customers. (El Rancherito, Henderson Street, Galesburg, Illinois) 20250411
Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum: Foreground Zaha Hadid (2013, 2015-2017) Aria and Avia, suspended over (2008 design, 2022 fabrication) Orchis.

Bluewater Bridge Port of Entry: Thursday noontime crossing into USA, waiting behind a single vehicle in queue. Agent took passports, asked where we were going, and said we were good to go ... except we had to wait for trucks transporting radioactive materials to clear on the road ahead. Route west from Sarnia Ontario is stressful than the volumes of Detroit, with only a few small towns across I-69 towards Lansing. (Bluewater Bridge Port of Entry, Port Huron, Michigan) 20250410
McMurtry Gardens of Justice: Eastmost in the courthouse complex, John Atkin (2017) Access to Justice is a multiple rectangular arches of corten steel, stainless steel, and epoxy painted steel.
