Wow, I’ve never seen a shot that made the Aztec Hotel look so…well…photogenic!

During the day the Monrovia Post Office building looks rather ordinary; at night, however, it really takes on a different personality!

Love this night shot of Petrillo’s Pizza. I don’t think I’ve ever really noticed it before. Anyone recommend it?

Lovely photo by Googlesque.

Spotted this little guy on one of my walks. I thought he was fake at first!

I’d been meaning to take a photo of it. Makes the drive down Mountain just that much prettier…

Behold, a door, originally uploaded by Living in Monrovia.

And what lies inside yon door? Something about it makes me think of the super natural, no, the great beyond perhaps. Is it the pools out light in front of it? Or perhaps the glow from the lamp up above? What about the sunburst pattern above the door, further suggesting rays of light bursting from overhead? Finally, the unpotted urn, to your lower right as you approach. What does it make you think of? Any wild guesses to which place this door belongs astute readers?

I like that despite this entry is on a scruffy alley, it still has a certain grace to it.

Looks like someone was inspired by this door to carve on it…

I love this yellow brick wall in the alley west of Myrtle.

Sometimes you just gotta go left.

So can anyone tell me what is up with the Aztec Hotel paint job? Everytime I drive by I have to shake my head. I’m going to have to call them one day soon to find out what the heck happened. I haven’t seen anyone with a paint brush in hand for weeks. Are they waiting for the next paint sale? Has the person in charge been fired? Will there be another garish color added to the mix? Please…help me out here people, or help out the Aztec Hotel. Should we all march down there on our day off and help them make it right. Hey I’d even settle for an ordinary shade of white like Swiss Coffee. Just make it better, please??
