Yep, that's about right. Dollar Generals are like the kudzu of the retail world down here. Even my town has one and we're chain (and everything else) free for the most part.
I'm not sure how I feel about less Peter next season. The altworld does interest me, but I think less is more where it's concerned.
I feel pretty unhappy about it at the moment, to be honest.
And nothing at a dollar general is really a dollar is it? Where we go on vacation at the lake [southern virginia] there is a dollar general grocery store! It's huge and actually pretty impressive as far as Dollar Generals go. I kind of love it.
Yeah, the Dollar store is a bit of a misnomer. But we do have Dollar Trees and they're epic. Everything is legit a dollar, they don't even bother pricing stuff. I always come out with an armload of stuff I probably didn't need, but couldn't pass up because it only cost a dollar.
A Dollar General grocery store? I've never seen one of those but it sounds very cool.

The Fringe news is making me incredibly sad. And kind of pissed off too. With a little editing magic and imagination they could so pull off not having to split the two. Why, show? Why?
I found it reading the photographer's blog. The info he's got on the main page is interesting and I think shows that he's not completely insensitive about it. I think some of the stuff is just kind of funny and yet a little bit scary at the same time. Tear gas powder on sale and all that.
Though, Shady Rest Lane not being very shady at all [as it once was according to the photographer, who grew up around those parts], is just kind of sad.

The photographer's info about the project just seems judgmental. All - look at the poor rednecks, see what's happening to the Heartland. Um, yeah, you don't get to do that from your London flat, spoiled little rich boy

I guess I read it a bit differently. I thought he seemed disappointed to see the place that he grew up in this way, which is understandable to me, even with the judgement. [Also, maybe I was looking at them wrong but some of the images I thought were intented to be comical - like praise the lord, eat a biscuit! or selling swords along with t-shirts] And hey I think the fact that there are billboards addressing meth addiction [necessary perhaps, but still sad to see them there] qualifies as despair.
Re: Guns and Ammo. I think it was the advertisement for tear gas and not the store itself that was the point of interest in that photo.But I see what you're saying and I agree with you about that. I responded to Katie below saying that I definitely don't believe that any of these types of images are exclusively southern. So I totally agree with you there

Fans should generally get a bigger say in deciding their favorite shows imo :P though that'd probably play out terrible in real life - can you imagine Sam/Dean and Dean/Castiel shippers fighting over what Kripke should do? I don't even.
But seriously, this sucks so bad! I would love to see more of badass AG Walter so I'm glad they're going to spend a lot of time in the other universe, but sheez, they could've done half-AU and half-original universe in one episode instead of devoting full episodes to the AU.
