Introduction

Martin Parr has published two books, both called Boring Postcards, one for the UK and one for the USA. Neither are particularly boring, particularly for my son (aged 18 months) who likes nothing more that to leaf through both editions, cooing at the roundabouts, motels and other fascinating images to be found.

After going through both books several times I decided to see how many of the places still existed.  Were they still as boring?

At the moment this is intended to be a desktop exercise, however, if I find myself near a boring location, it would be silly not to go there in person.
