The best part is this is everywhere in America. There's no regional specificity to it. I know that the 904 area code is northeast Florida, but that's the only clue.

Every inch of this country is filled with Burgerpunk aesthetics and little strip malls full of seedy small businesses designed to suck money out of suburbanites. And since we're a normal country we don't even put sidewalks to get to the seedy businesses since we let the lot owner decide to do that. Where I live the owner of the lot will sometimes put a curb between their stupid collection of businesses and the one right next door, so you can't even drive from one to the other. And it's always a horrifying combination of things. I love putting the Chili's right next to an emergency room where people are dying. I love having fake quack doctors prescribing sugar water next door to Payless Shoes. This sign says there's a daycare right next to a tattoo parlor and a gun store. Cool.

Coast to coast blanket of putrid sleazy little small business tyrants and that's by design commercial-district

I saw a billboard ad for a buy one get on free vasectomy on my way through Indiana. Like cut one nut get the other free.

I was super sleepy and constantly dozing off, so when I saw that I thought I was hallucinating gtav

Gun store (and perhaps range with no filters) next to a daycare center

The Glass Eye

This one is really strange, I do not understand how the logo/name have anything to do with the adult greeting cards. Like is it cards you send to the people you are stalking? WTF?

Turns out it primarily sells crystals and other New Age shit but specifically just chooses to advertise that lol

idk how I feel about calling the doctors grimy. Yeah they're doctor's offices in a strip mall serving low income people, but poor people need doctors too and these offices are most likely still clean and professional places even if they're not as nice as offices in higher income neighborhoods.

Chiropractor excepted obviously, yeah that's quack shit.

[–] abc@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

yeah there's nothing inherently wrong with the 'batch eye care' or optometrist/orthodontist (really weird combo imo but hey, offices are expensive and it is all technically in the head so yeah add a neurosurgeon or something and you've really got your bases covered). I'm not taking my child to Super Duck Infant Care though but I think I'm just reactionary against capeshit and I bet they probably have some sick ass murals or something that the kids love

Look at it this way, copyright is bullshit so copyright infringement is actually based.

Also I bet the two doctor's offices have a lot of supplies in common so they can probably save a little money by buying together in bulk.

Guess I was given a bad first impression from being in a tacky strip mall, I checked some images of the eye doctor’s interior and it looks rather normal for a quick “do the eye chart test and get prescription glasses the next week” facility (Although it still holds an air of dread from likely constant shouting from next door over how much a pawned gold bar is worth)

Can’t find anything abt Dr. Rumble though (that’s a fucking Felix bit name though like come on)

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I like to think every time Dr. Rumble sees a patient he plays this song and dances into the room.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

I like how they have both ducks and quacks.

[–] DyingOfDeBordom@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

grimy doctor 1 and doctor 2 are the same doctor btw, who do you think runs Batch Eye Care sweaty

[–] WIIHAPPYFEW@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You saw the names on the lower sign and still got the top name wrong smh my head

[–] DyingOfDeBordom@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

probably because I don't have access to a strip mall optometrist

John C Rumble - Orthodontist

the Dr of thuganomics has come to rearrange your teeth

or to 'brush your mouth like Colgate' for you true members of the Cenation

Vince goes to the dentist and wakes up to ruthless aggression era Cena ripping all of his teeth out with pliers
