Goodwill: Stay Healthy

Posted on March 25, 2020
by Kelson

Goodwill store with plywood all over the front. Someone has painted STAY HEALTHY on the plywood.

Scenes from pandemic shutdown: Shuttered Goodwill.

To be fair, I seem to remember they were already planning to remodel, so the plywood all over the windows could just be a case of bad timing.

Update: Here’s a better picture of the sign from the near side of the street.

Just the plywood with GOODWILL, an incomplete Peace sign, and STAY HEALTHY.

Poor Substitute

To be honest, I wasn’t expecting to find isopropyl alcohol in stock, but the “related” results are…questionable.

Online shopping search: Isopropyl alcohol not found, have you tried wine, Jagermeister, duct tape or non-alcoholic beer?

What do you think’s in the pizzas?

Round Table Pizza sign saying It's a cook book! It's a cook book!

This place often posts movie and TV quotes on its marquee, but sometimes their choices are a little…odd. #ToServeMan

Wandering Off…

A large metal post held to the ground by *huge* bolts. One is missing a nut. Nearby, a Meltan (a Pokemon whose head is a giant hex nut) appears to be moving away from the post.

Burner…Truck?

Budget rental truck with parts of the letters covered up to say Burner instead.

I’ve heard of burner phones, but burner trucks…?

(seen on the way to work one morning a few weeks ago)

It came from the 90s!

Not just the design…but they're off-brand *POGs*.

A tube found in a store labeled KAPS, with patterns and angles and bright colors.

Not just the design…but they’re off-brand POGs.

Spotted at Target last week.

(If pogs are coming back, Disney needs to do some Star Wars ones just so they can have PORG POGS)

Time Gate

A red irregular ring sculpture, big enough to climb through, in a city park on a sunny day.

When did they install the Guardian of Forever at this park?
