I took some photos of my favorite micropolitan hellscape.

Enjoy this gallery of the city I call home.

I live in a micropolitan hellscape. There’s no pedestrian access. I take my life in my hands when I bike to work. The city is full of big box stores and cultural nothingness. Despite an ongoing battle between a number of different cultures and communities, there is a sense of neither community nor culture. But there are random agricultural and industrial areas mixed into neighborhoods. So I took some pictures of it. I hope you enjoy this gallery.
