A drive into Hermiston, Oregon

For years, the dusty Eastern Oregon town of Hermiston was mostly known for its potato storage depots, lying in the heart of prime potato-growing country (think McDonald's french fries, here). Then, along came WalMart and a large distribution center for the Pacific Northwest.

Here's what some of that new-found fame (and money) has brought as you cruise along the main route through town.

Yep, that is the stupid (but lovely) garden in the middle of the highway going from Stanfield to Hermiston.

Cool. I'm going there this June. My grandma and LOTS of relatives live there. She lives in a dream house and is a multi-millionaire. I can't wait to get out of the island! :)
