DQ / OJ

Some might find it tacky, but I LIKE the new DQ franchises. They're bright and fun and I think the design is well balanced.  If you've compared the one in Chardon to the ones in Mentor or Chesterland, you'll have noticed that they are not all the same.  I think the one in Chardon is the best looking because it has the most decorative accents.

I don't miss the old DQ too much, although I have some fond memories of it.  I do, however, miss the old guy that used to sell sweet corn and vegetables out of the vacant lot next door. I haven't seen him for a few years...anyone know?

I created the images below using a free 3D modeling program called SketchUp, and with Kerkythea, a free photo-realistic rendering program.  This has been a hobby of mine lately...
