Have you been there? Please report. Sure looks funky. I can’t tell from the outside if I mean that in a good way or a bad way. But I’m intrigued. Corner of Washington and Catalina, north end of Bungalow Heaven, west end of East Washington Village. Read the Full Story at Pasadena Daily Photo

It’s Monday, the day you tell us about the photo, rather than me telling you. It’s not a guessing game, there’s no “correct answer.” Just tell us, in your own words, what the photo means to you. Read the Full Story at Pasadena Daily Photo
