Also known as “San Pedro City Hall”, the seven-story Beaux Arts building was completed in 1928 and is the tallest building in San Pedro; includes an old jail, a wood-paneled courtroom, and a fire station converted into a museum. This building with its spectacular period architecture is a City of Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument.
We were in downtown San Pedro last Friday on business when I snapped this photo. Click image to enlarge.
We were in San Pedro today for some quick business. While we were in the area, I had a chance to take some photos of the many interesting sights. The lighting conditions (overcast) when I took this photo of a seagull near the fishing fleet slips seemed to warrant that this handsome bird be rendered in black and white.
We ‘celebrated my first day of retirement by running out and doing some chores that would have usually taken place on a weekend. On our way home, we spotted this old Chevrolet truck with some interesting customization. I doubled back and went up the side street so Verna could get this photo. Click to enlarge.
We were trying to figure out the weird hubcaps and the cryptic chrome letters on the hood. The red trim was kinda weird too. Nice truck, though.
A few weeks ago, we bought this Devil’s Tongue barrel cactus at the garden shop. We expected to have more of the nice bright yellow flowers produced by our other Devil. Surprise! This one is hot pink! Click on the image to see full size.
