Monrovia’s Future Vroman’s, originally uploaded by Living in Monrovia.

Locals are were finally getting the bookstore they’ve been pining for! What a nice job in renovating this former eyesore of a building.

I hope everyone had a fun Halloween. I rather liked this creepy art I spotted on a Monrovia beauty salon window.

YAY for cute bags and pillows!

Good at night, originally uploaded by Eureka!626.

I’ve always loved lights at night…and paper lanterns can be so pretty. I love walking around town at night…just wish there were a few more people out in the evenings.

Great shot by Eureka!626.

Ok…so I’m fantasizing that I’m in turn-of-the-century London…never thought I could get a mysterious night shot with an iPhone…but there you are.

Monrovia Travel, originally uploaded by Living in Monrovia.

I’ve always wanted to be able to afford to use a travel agency—just waltz in, you know, in some sort of perfect dress, gloves and a hat with a bow on it—and announce breathlessly that I need every thing seen to, just so…I probably watch too many old movies. Maybe in another 40 years I’ll manage it. Go on a cruise when I’m too tired to ride in a bus or taxi or use my feet!

Hi-tech Yogurt, originally uploaded by Living in Monrovia.

You are entering another dimension, another space and time…and there will be… yogurt! Ok… so where is Michael York…for some reason this makes me think of that old sci-fi flick called “Logan’s Run.” As a film, it didn’t age well, unfortunately, but I will have fond memories of seeing it as a teenager. As anyone tried the Wii post-yogurt?

Have to say, chocolate soufflé is my favorite dessert. Wish I had eaten this!

I just noticed there is a new eatery in town, Moondog’s. Anyone tried it yet?

I hadn’t been to the Peach Café in awhile, and noticed this really nice painting by Glendale artist Robert Brady on the wall. I can think of a lot of places in my house it would look terrific.

Chang Thai Bistro has nice dishes, a great atmosphere and friendly service. I’m addicted!

We now have another place to buy guitars in Monrovia, Mick’s Music on Colorado in the (not-so) old Dr. Music location next to La Adelita. Stop in and say, “hi” to owner Mick McMains.

ADDENDUM: I walked past the shop today and it was completely empty! I wonder if he knew he was moving when I took his picture?
