One of my goals before I move this summer is to tour SoCal and (re)visit sites that I love or are quintessential L.A.
One of my favorite buildings around is Pasadena City Hall. After years of renovations and retrofitting, it is once again open for exploring. As I found myself that way yesterday afternoon, I decided to snap a few pictures, taking advantage of the beautiful blue skies and afternoon sunlight.
Lauren & I had dinner at CPK right next door, so I was able to get a few at night, the building golden with lights. Unfortunately my battery ran out before I could get all the angles I wanted (and after I figured the right ISO to capture the night lights). I guess another visit is needed--Oh darn!
What are some of your favorite LA sites? I'm taking suggestions!PS. For more Pasadena photos, go here.

I know I'll think of more.
i am at the Pasadena Central Library right now!
My picture is from Lake Moraine in Alberta. 22 years ago our family went to EXPO 86. We saw a sign on the way to LAke Louise. We drove there and came upon this lake. granted, the glaciers and mountains were cool, but the lake was BLAH. So we followed a trail up higher, where the sun was shining, and got a picture not too different than that one.
First of all BOO that you and L were at CPK w/out me. Second of all....at this point I pretty much think anything outside of Bass Lake is a favorite site. :) Joking!...kinda.
Famous icons I miss:
Taco Lita
Tommy's
In N Out
Wienerschnitzel
The Hat (can you tell I'm hungry)
Plus,I really get homesick when I see the Santa Anita Racetrack in movies or on a tv show...it really is a beautiful place! Aunt Laurie xoxo
