“The Original”

This is the longest ORIGINALLY operated McDonalds in the world! This is in my hometown in Downey, Ca where I grew up as a kid. It’s still there! I don’t eat fast food at all, but I thought this was cool that it’s still resides there. I would have spent more time on a better photograph, but it was getting late, I had my daughter and too many cars in the parking lot to maneuver around.

The 1953 McDonald’s restaurant at 10207 Lakewood Blvd. (at Florence Ave.) was the third franchised McDonald’s built and is the oldest surviving McDonald’s. It was listed on the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s 1994 list of the 11 Most Endangered Historic Places.

“Lonely Lifetower”

I was cruising down PCH earlier and it was so pretty out! However the lighting was at 12pm so as you know – the worst time to shoot pictures! But I had to be somewhere by 1:00pm…. I liked this lighthouse… it was neon green! 🙂

“Flying Free”

It’s been raining a lot lately, was supposed to snow actually today… but it was SO beautiful out – beautiful, clear, windy, and cold but most of all a gorgeous day in Marina del Rey. I miss it so much here, it’s been 10 years since I lived here on the yacht. I need to get back to sailing my #1 passion!

“The Rainy Clear Night”
