Aztec Hotel…Trippy!
Posted August 12, 2010
in At Night, Aztec Hotel, Not my photo, Places
Photo aztec motel, originally uploaded by lostinangeles.
Wow, this shot makes the Aztec Hotel look rather otherworldly, which is is, but in it’s own way. I think David Lynch might have lived here at one point, and got inspiration for his films.
If you tour the rooms you will know what I mean, although the animal cages in the lobby are worth the drive over there. The only thing missing is a live tiger roaming around the patio. I wouldn’t be surprised if I came upon a paper-mâché version in a tight hallway somewhere upstairs.
I think the best night to go would be Halloween. I could wear a mask and do crappy karaoke and no one would be the wiser.
Props to “lostinangeles” for this.
Sunday Farmer’s Market Produce

Yummy! I love the fresh organic Farmer’s Market produce. I have to only leave the house with so much cash or I’ll be tempted to keep buying stuff. Today I left with a purple cabbage that is going to be made into sauerkraut; along with cauliflower, broccoli, bread and hummus.
One lady wanted to sell me grapes, but I told her I had some growing in my backyard, and boy was she surprised. It’s my first harvest this year and they’ve done well. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the “Red Flame” or the “Thompsons” as long as you give them something to climb on and don’t overwater them (or they will burst).
I was glad to see a few people wandering about with dogs. They’ve been getting overzealous with the signs at the Friday Night Festival. I used to walk my dog along the sidewalk and skip the actual Farmer’s Market area to comply with the signage, but now they’ve moved the signs to the very outskirts of the festivities, so me and my poochies are left out. ;(

Cool shot of something I haven’t seen before here in town. I guess I need to hang out more by the train tracks!

Lanz building, originally uploaded by Living in Monrovia.
Walked around Claremont village yesterday and saw the light hitting the letters on the Lanz Building just right. It’s my favorite “out-of-town” spot to visit. Not as crowded as Pasadena, and lots of big trees arching over the streets. I wish Monrovia had more big trees.

I like the Deco feeling of Monroe School, shot here by Googiesque. It looks good in black & white.
Sierra Cup by night…

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?
