It's fitting to talk about food, because this photo reminds me of those blue Chinese print dishes that used to be so popular. I'll have my colempie on one of those, please.
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. This daily blog covered almost 5 years as I put down roots in my new home town -- and almost 5 more as I settled in and became a South Pas old-timer. Here it is...my time capsule of South Pasadena.

New bulbout will require removal of this portion of building. Hope you understand. It was planned 15 years ago!
Mister Earl, that's hilarious!
ditto what Earl said...since it's useful, it must be destroyed. that's ok, it's Alhambra anyway, right?
but really, love the pic...but now I'm hungry...humnn, think I know what lunch will be today!
wv: blentin---(with that suthun theme)...I usually want my margaritas on the rocks, not blentin, which waters it down too much

Judy: I'd like some of that colempie myself, please. Iced tea to drink with sugar.
Laurie: Sometimes a picture just says it all.
wv: epick...this is the epick of the day.
I'll have you know Miss Laurie, it's entirely your fault I HAD to have InO for lunch today! yuuuum! thanks for the suggestion!
wv: lepie...there's a theme here of pies...humnnn!
