Peelings...nothing more than peelings...am feeeeeling bluuuuuuue since you peeled off of meeeee!
Actually, I lived in those apartments many moons ago. Sad to see the garages so run down. The roof of this garage was GREAT for having a glass of wine, noshies and watching the sun set over the golf course.
And, at one point, I taught a 60-something year old guy to skateboard around the sidewalk round in the middle between the two buildings. Not the brightest thing to do, especially when he was a little drunk...but mother told me to teach him and he couldn't throw a ball, so skateboarding it was.

I post a photo of old garage doors and end up with cool insight, wit, personal stories ... it's just great to be your blogger, people. Thanks for contributing! And Trish, I may just have to sneak up on that roof to shoot the sunset... sounds like a great view.
In December of 2007, after many years on the west side of Los Angeles (and at least a third of those years spent stuck in traffic on Pico Boulevard) my family settled into a happy little house in South Pasadena.

Oh, but I like it as an abstraction. How about "Opus 481 with Blue".
Garages for the affluent. What is behind door number 4?
How about "Across the Great Divide"?
Six Separations of Degrees.
South Pasadena has its own little Guantanamo for Cal Trans Workers.
Time for a work party to paint those doors.
Do you walk away with the cash or do you pick door #1,2,3,4,5 or 6

AWW - I bet you made that guy's day teaching him to skateboard, Trish. But drunk? Now that takes some work. LOL
judy--he flew planes stone cold sober...skateboarding drunk was simple...for him.
I do miss those suppers or just drinks out on the roof.
