๐Ÿš— She is the Terror of Colorado Boulevard ๐ŸŽถ

in #travel โ€ข 6 years ago (edited)

I heard the 1960's hit song "The Little Old Lady From Pasadena" as a kid, when my Dad would put on the "Oldies" radio station. ๐ŸŽผ๐ŸŽง

๐ŸŽค"The Little Old Lady She drives real fast and she drives real hard,
She's the terror of Colorado Boulevard.
It's The Little Old Lady From Pasadena!"๐ŸŽถ

(Pasadena is known as "the land of sun & roses") ๐ŸŒน

The Wikipedia entry is actually quite interesting as it delves into the premise and history of this mythical Pasadena lady.

I always thought it was a cute, catchy little tune, but never thought one day I would myself, be "A Little Old Lady From Pasadena!" Well, "Old" is a relative term, I imagine, and not an adjective I'm ready to claim for myself quite yet. However, I do live in Pasadena and spend a lot of time on Colorado Blvd ๐Ÿ˜‰ ๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿ‘’๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ‘™๐Ÿ’„๐Ÿ‘“๐Ÿ‘œ๐Ÿ‘š

I usually stick to the sidewalk and walk, rather than drive. Who wants to bother with parking, right?! ๐Ÿš—

One of my favorite spots on Colorado Blvd is Love Birds Cafe and Bakery. ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿฉ๐Ÿž๐Ÿต

My daughter remarked that she has yet to see any real "love birds" of the aviary kind. Or, even any young lovers. Most folks in the cafe are often by themself, with their laptops for company. ๐Ÿ’ปโ˜•๐Ÿ’

My daughter @annac and I are real fans of the chocolate chip walnut cookies.๐Ÿช

I meant to snap a photo right after purchase, while the cookies were whole. But...you know...things happen! ๐Ÿ˜œ

Thanks for taking a walk down Colorado Blvd with me! And thanks to @dswigle for her inspiration behind the #MarketFriday challenge ๐ŸŽ‰

Wow! Thanks so much @socalsteemit! I am proud to call SoCal home ๐Ÿ™Œโค

Oh!!! I want that car! I mean, who wouldn't? It has so many cool factors to it! Don't you just love it??

I know where Colorado Boulevard is !!! How lucky are you to be able to take a stroll along the boulevard at your leisure, you and @annac - then stop in that ultra modern bakery and enjoy such a yummy treat. Too bad people get lost in their laptops instead of another person's soul. Hmmm. Makes me sad for them. They have no idea what they are missing.

I am glad you and @annac have fun instead of sticking your faces in your phones and ignore each other. I applaud you. As an aside, this is a kick butt post and I love it! Thank you and thank you for taking the time to post to #MarketFriday and dropping the link!

Have a most fabulous weekend!
