The last bar and grill, Imperial Beach, California, 2014

Imperial Beach is the most southwesterly town in the continental United States. And at the most southwesterly corner of town stands the most southwesterly bar and grill in the continental United States. I limit my impressions of it to the graffiti inspired signage on its wall and the immediate surrounding area. This image is series of horizontal subjects, starting with the double yellow line on the road, and moving on up to a parked car, the signage itself, a series of small palms. A blue awning caps the building. The incongruously exaggerated physique, hair, and tankard carried by the waitress portrayed on the sign complements the crudely scrawled lettering. The cartoonish drawing and the graffiti-like words combine to express the carefree nature of the establishment.
