It’s Saturday. I thought we should have something festive! This was one place I thought would survive the recession. We all want more for our dollar these days. But I never shopped there so I don’t know what kind of value they offered, if any. I’ve noticed lately the parking lot’s full, so someone’s getting [...]

Today the City Daily Photo blogs pay tribute to our founder, Eric Tenin. It’s a good day for such a celebration because today is the 5th Anniversary of Eric’s hugely popular blog, Paris Daily Photo. To date, Eric and his blog have inspired 1178 City Daily Photo blogs around the world, including this one. Quoting [...]
Not, like, as in “woof.” Although it’s high time for another Boz post. This is a close-up of a tree (what kind?) shedding its bark in Washington Park. I’ve downloaded a bunch of photography apps on the iPhone but I never use them. I’m sure I will sooner or later, but I’m not into messing [...]
Okay so it wasn’t a church. It was a morgue. I thought I’d show you a few more pictures from the building at Holly St. and Marengo Ave. that we talked about on Monday. Behind these gates is the courtyard section of Eden Garden Bar & Grill, formerly Holly St. Bar & Grill. (I had [...]
Zen Monday is the day you experience the photo and give us your thoughts rather than me telling you what I think the photo’s about. There’s no right or wrong. It means what you think it means, or what you want it to mean. I look for a photo worth contemplating or, failing that, something [...]
For your Sunday delectation, a church that is not a church. On the corner of Holly Street and Marengo a block from City Hall, this one-time church-turned-office building appears to be another victim of either the recession or greed or both. There are a few of these around town–landlords who turned out tenants when they [...]
My friend dropped me off in Old Town Thursday because I had time to kill between meetings and I was going to annihilate that time in a coffee shop. I planned to show you that shop as a revival of my Coffee Shop Quest. But the shop (Seattle’s Best on Raymond) had apparently bit the [...]
The League of Women Voters, Pasadena Area is sponsoring a free public forum tomorrow called Access to Impact: Using Open Government to Create Change. The keynote speaker is a woman named Hedab Tarifi, who was raised in Kuwait and who, according to the press release I read, “knows what it is like to live under [...]
The final resting place of Henry Edwards Huntington and his beloved wife Arabella Duval Huntington is one of the most romantic spots in the Pasadena area. Yes, I’m speaking of a grave. The mausoleum, designed by architect John Russell Pope, is called “a Greek temple dedicated to eternal love.” Pope used a similar design later [...]
