It was such a nice day Thursday, and the fact I needed to take care of some business. I decided to take the camera along and get a few photos. So here they are, enjoy.

Now on to Old Town Pasadena. Since I was done taking care of business, I decided to take the Gold Line to have lunch and do some browsing at the same time.

Great pics Chris! I love Old Pasadena!!! It's one of my favorites areas of LA.

Just a little update:

I hear the Ralphs' grand opening may be delayed until sometime in July/August.

And the Colburn School Expansion should be completed by Fall 2007.

Oh that sucks, but oh well its been years, so I guess another two months we can survive.

Thanks for the info on the Colburn School, I look forward to seeing the completed project. I haven't been in a while, but sometimes I visit the school for their receitals. I've heard some nice classical/chamber concerts there, and for free.
