Wunderful b/w's.
About how many old pics are down in the dark, damp, citihall catacombs?
It's also wunderful to know you're out cking ye Olde Pasa restaurants. The Public Info Officer, especially, needs to give your public subjects updated info on recommended restaurants to ck out. I would say that is one of your most important duties.
that is AWESOME! Thanks for sharing PIO!
Ann, you are the best! I went crazy when you showed us the pics of your folks. These touch all of us in Pasadini, too.
Ann, no wonder you love your job. I'll bet you have access to all the historical scandals, er, files.
Wowowowoow. Tour? Ever? When? I had no idea All Saints was older than City Hall.
More photos for the file. They did such a great job of documenting this buildings construction. Maybe you should offer up these photos to the Pasadena Museum of history. I bet some orange crate art exists out there with city hall pictured on it. Personal stories, a few artifacts here and there. The Arroyo Seco School of Art paintings of city hall...It would make a great exhibition.
Has it been done?
It is always fun to see old pics of buildings and structures. You were able to peek at how it was built and the effort that the old folks put into it. Looking at the Pasadena City Hall now, I can say that our old folks did a very good job!
