Cozy Dog in Springfield, Illinois | Route 66

If you're looking for an interesting stop along the Illinois stretch of Route 66 try the Cozy Dog Drive-In in Springfield. Having just driven Route 66 through California last year, I was looking for a few unique stops as I detoured through parts of the Midwest on my latest road trip. 

Cozy Dog is a restaurant chock-full of Route 66 memorabilia and they're famous for their "hot dog on a stick" AKA corn dogs. I liked that there was a Route 66 marker out front as it made the stop seem a bit more novel. It was also a great opportunity to see just where I was. Springfield, Illinois is about 200 miles south of Chicago, where Route 66 officially begins.

Walking Dead: Jackson Street Bridge, Atlanta

To be fair, the view from the Jackson Street Bridge in Atlanta, Georgia was already popular prior to appearing in the very first episode of AMC's The Walking Dead. There's no denying however, that the iconic scene of Rick Grimes riding horseback into a post-apocalyptic Atlanta did cement the location into pop culture. It is a beautiful skyline! Naturally, as I was exploring downtown Atlanta I had to visit the Jackson Street Bridge to see the view for myself.

City and Colour in Medicine Hat, Alberta

Last night City and Colour put on a hell-of-a good show at the Canalta Centre in Medicine Hat, Alberta. I jumped at the chance to photograph another incredible act touring through our fair city. Here are a few concert highlights I captured of City and Colour performing.
