pasadena's YMCA building - centennial place
what appears from the outside to be a ymca building is actually a low income apartment complex.
centennial place provides affordable housing to pasadena's low-income single men and women. union station provides on-site case management and referrals for formerly homeless individuals living at centennial place, who may have substance abuse problems, mental health issues or day-to-day living challenges.
i love pasadena, but it is certainly not a city of equality. a place like this is a great start toward helping needy people get back on their feet. the world needs more places like this.

fireworks at pasadena's rose bowl
from saturday night's display. our vantage point above the rose bowl gave us a view of a good portion of the san gabriel valley and the fireworks that were being set off around the entire area.

a few photos from our weekend bbq
we had a feast of grilled burgers, sweet corn, hot dogs, and plenty of other good things. the weather was perfect for the long weekend, and we were able to get out on a couple of bike rides as well. here tim enjoys his perfect burger creation.

cupcakes and the king
dots cupcakes just opened up a second pasadena location at the one colorado shopping area. i'm not sure what elvis has to do with cupcakes, but i like the mixed media of this window display.

21 choices frozen yogurt
always busy and full of people. 21 choices is the locally owned choice when it comes to frozen yogurt - done up in the coldstone add-in style.
happy 4th of july. on a holiday often marked with the memories of armed conflict victories, i encourage us all pause and think about those patriots who were committed to bettering the world through non-violent means. people like martin luther king jr, dorothy day, cesar chavez, or tom fox.
have a great weekend!

july theme day: empty
this shot is from my recent camping trip. an empty sky can also be a beautiful sky... although, the moon is hanging there, so i guess it isn't quite empty.
hundreds of other bloggers are working with today's theme.

by the way - HAPPY CANADA DAY!
