Walgreen's pharmacy drive-through and parking lot. There is a John Deere tractor with a large piece of farming equipment attached to it in the parking lot. I am in a city and clearly not a farmer because I don't know what that thing is called, but I'm pretty sure it's for harvesting hay?
Tile floor in the process of being torn up. There are some bare spots where the tile has been removed and a small pile of debris. Crucially, there is no central air floor register, the entire space is tile.

A business card that has a chart that shows how much blood alcohol one is likely to blow on a breathalizer based on one's body weight and the number of drinks concerned. There are sections of the chart's results labelled 'rarely enforced', 'possibly enforced', and 'definitely enforced'. One has to assume that students used the card to justify driving after drinking. 'No, I'll fall into the rarely enforced category, it's definitely ok to drive!'
