14. If you live by the coast or near a lake, there should be some picturesque shops

and restaurants near you.
We have one very interesting diner.  |

Somewhere in my closet I have a box of slides I took from the sidelines at the 1977 Gladstone-Hidden Valley Class AA State Championship Football game. (I went to Gladstone, we won,
 yay ) Your mentioning Hidden Valley triggered that memory! I hadn't thought of that for a good twenty years. |

26. It doesn't have to be a business. It could be a yard decorated with concrete statues and such.

23. I can't wait to see the entries. I love the little store. So comforting.

This place is in our town. The pharmacy has closed, but it lives on as a liquor store.

It has a big vertical conveyor for the drugs. It was pretty neat. |

just tell me, and I'll submit a different image instead.

30. Antique/sepia leaves the image generally intact. Turning it into a fractal would be too much.
