Dr. George

I can't believe I missed this before.  There is no name sign visible here but this sure looks like the great Dr. George Fischbeck, former local news weatherman, taking part in the Monrovia Day Parade.

Gem City Images - 3rd Anniversary!

It all started on this day three years ago with a bobcat.

I'm as surprised as anybody.  I can't wait to see what the future may hold!

For most of the hike along the Ben Overturff trail above Monrovia Canyon Park, you can feel as if you are far from civilization.  But every once in a while...

Twinkle No More

Sorry to see this business go.  The classic toys in the window made this a favorite of mine.

A third electrical box in Old Town Monrovia becomes art in public when painted with a nice nature scene.

Lemon Tree Very Pretty...

More of the electrical boxes in Old Town Monrovia have been painted with a nature scene that is a big improvement over dull grey.  This one is on the corner of Myrtle Avenue and, you guessed it, Lemon Avenue.

How is this paid for?  When a project in town is over a million dollars, the developers get a choice.  Pay a fee or commission a piece of public art.  This is also how we got the new gateway arch on Myrtle Avenue next to the Paragon at Old Town development.  Thanks to the Monrovia Endowment for the Arts Committee for the info and for their part in bringing this new art to town.

My post of the first box to be painted is here.  A photo of a third painted box will be posted tomorrow.

New Colorado Blvd. Building - Updated

The new building in the 100 block of East Colorado turned out well.

This is what it looked like during construction.

And this is from the demolition of the previous building.

June 2010 City Daily Photo Theme Day: Funny Signs

The theme this month turned out to be more difficult than I expected.  I know of some funny signs, they just aren't in Monrovia.  Like some fellow photobloggers, I went outside my city for this sign.  It may be more unusual than funny, but it makes me smile.  This sign is outside Santa Teresita Hospital in Duarte.
