Back to our regularly schedule programming… Here’s my photo from 2007 the same year that Java J’s opened in Bristol, TN: Around 2012, the place became Bristol BBQ – but I’m glad they kept the giant cup: Bush’s Baked Beans are produced in Chestnut Hill.

This is a little time-out post from the Tennessee photos.

This bronze birdwatcher and his dog are installed in Kingsport: This coal miner is in Big Stone Gap, VA: This Hamburger Man was installed on the roof of Pal’s #2 in Kingsport around 1966.

Rain and grey skies to end my days of Kentucky shooting.

This Putt-Putt Fun Center in Louisville is from 1970.

This was a much sunnier day so I’ll drop a lot of photos in this post to make up for the last one.

This was a really crummy weather day — no sun all day and some rain.

I’m doubling up for this two-day post since there was a lot of mountain driving (low volume shooting) and crummy weather.

Just getting going on the Kentucky stuff — about another 7 days of posts to go.

Let’s start with a giant sheaf of wheat in Hopkinsville: I shot this statue at the Dempewolf Ford Lincoln Mercury dealership in Henderson in 2010: By 2012, it had been replaced with this more human-like statue shown below.

This post covers the day spent in the northwest corner of Tennessee en route to Kentucky.

If you are paying close attention to these posts and wondering what happened to Day 5… Well, there was a little “incident” during this trip where my camera card fell out of the slot of my laptop (hadn’t pushed it in yet).
