  • Dr. Kruse of Northside Foot & Ankle, 13 May 2020Polaroid OneStep 2/Color i-Type Film So, this post is astoundingly lame (pun intended) but this is my podiatrist. I stopped by his office on Wednesday to pick up a new pair of orthodics because my insurance gives me one a year for free. He’s the third…
