Huntington Veterinary Hospital, originally uploaded by Living in Monrovia.

This sign doesn’t actually exist yet. I’ve created the new logo and mocked it up for the new owner, Gary White, DVM. He’s moved from VCA Santa Anita and now has his own practice. Congratulations, Dr. White!

I never can resist those doggies in the window. It’s too bad that they aren’t rescue dogs…I think it would be nice for pet stores to sell rescue animals. And oftentimes there are puppies at shelters!

Local card shop. Little hearts in the window. We all know what that means, kids. Get ready for smoochies!

Winter roses in bloom in front of Primrose Villa Apartments near the new Colorado Commons site. I love the pink edging…

A shot of the local skateboard shop on Myrtle…

I am contemplating adding video posts to this blog…I wonder if anyone would be interested in that? Perhaps going to some local spots and seeing and talking about what is going on? Naturally, my favorite spot would be the wine bar…but there are so many other spots in town…any recommendations…requests?

Chestnut Ave., originally uploaded by Living in Monrovia.

A quiet little back street running paralell to Huntington Drive. it is my favorite street ’cause it’s so quiet. Again, “nostalgized” for effect…

I’ve just discovered the Foothill Cities Blog, which documents local government happenings thought the San Gabriel Valley. In their words: “Promoting responsible, limited local government and exposing corruption and government waste in Claremont, Pomona, La Verne, San Dimas, Glendora, Azusa, Duarte, Bradbury, Monrovia, Arcadia, and Sierra Madre.” Looks like a great read, and seems to be very up-to-date. I wonder who is behind it?
