Small Town Aesthetic - Tumblr Posts
Fun fact! There's a tiny town in western Colorado called Fruita where they are similarly proud of dinosaurs, since there are copious numbers of them nearby. Thing is, that is only one of **three** weird things they are obsessed with: It's also one of the top mountain biking spots in America, so the town is coated with bikes and bike-related paraphernalia, as well as being the hometown of *Mike the Headless Chicken*, a chicken who lived for 18 months without a head. There's even a yearly festival held in his honor!
Anyway, that leads to the surreal experience of walking down main street and seeing, within a block, these two statues:
With a bunch of locals just walking around as if this is all completely normal. You'll ask about it and they'll be like "oh yeah, that's Mike." And keep walking.
The benches and bus stops around town are similarly decked out as dinosaurs, and there's a local museum dedicated to them!
Not to mention that the view from the town looks like *this*:
Or that the very center of town has Greta the dinosaur:
Who, around Christmas looks like this:
Yes, that is the lifeless, limp body of the Grinch in her teeth.
Fruita is definitely my favorite town.
The dino benches are super cute. The angle is a little weird, though. And there's other seating if you're scared of dinosaurs. Looks like there's non-dino flat benches in the back on the right and a raised stone bench / retaining wall area on the left with grass and trees. I'm a little worried that there's no arm rests on any of the seating areas, though. It might be difficult for people with mobility issues to stand back up. Super cute for in front of a dino museum, though! And I totally want one.
