pasadena public library


i have posted photos of our lovely library before, but never a shot from this perspective.

by the way - did anyone catch episode two of nbc's new series 'parks & recreation'? looks like they are borrowing our beloved city hall's exterior and hallways for their ficticious city hall located in pawnee, indiana. i haven't successfully snagged a screen shot yet, but i'll keep you posted...

something about this photo really gives it a quality as if it's a painting or part of some kind of brochure from the 50's. maybe it's just me - but the colors make it look paintingish

P & R looks promising. Is it being filmed here in So Cal, bw?

What a great compliment! Thanks T&D.

Cafe, I agree that it looks promising. I assume it is SoCal just by the look of the outdoor shots. I know the Office is filmed here in Van Nuys, so maybe P&R is around here too.

Pasadena City Hall gets used EVERYWHERE, e.g. in Eli Stone, Bedtime Stories, etc., etc. Gives me a little thrill every time. :)
