Donut Construction Site
Roadside Americana
Nikon D7000 18-200mm @ 200mm ISO 250 3-bkts f/11 Lr4, TpzSim; PsCS6
Long before there were McMuffins there were donuts for “healthy” Americans to start their day. Back in the day Winchell’s was a favorite stop for me when I was craving a crumb cake donut, and no construction barriers would have kept me from getting to a dozen donuts. (I have been paying the price for that behavior ever since.)

Taken To The Cleaners
Roadside Americana
Nikon D7000 18-200mm @ 48mm ISO 250 3-bkts f/11 Lr3, TpzSim; PsCS6
Whether to get dirty cloths clean or to undergo a fleecing, we all know what “taken to the cleaners” means. I am certain that in this case it has always meant getting your fashionable clothes cleaned in Pasadena, California. I don’t know where the locals take their unfashionable clothes to be cleaned, though.

The Dog House
Roadside Americana
Nikon D7000 18-200mm @ 27mm ISO 800 3-bkts f/8 Lr4, Tpz Sim; PsCS6
Hungry, but a hamburger from In-N-Out does not appeal to you, just head next door to Big Daddy’s Fire Grill Pasadena, California in for wood fired burgers, dogs and sausages. I recommend the chili dog, a quarter pound hot dog slathered with a full bodied, lightly spiced chile.

Burger Queue
Roadside Americana
Nikon D7000 18-200mm @ 27mm ISO 800 1/100 f/8 Lr4, TpzSim; PsCS6
The always present line up of cars waiting their turn at the In-N-Out drive thru in Pasadena, California. I recommend the “Double Double”, hold the spread and add mustard and ketchup.

Pie ‘N Burger
Roadside Americana
Nikon D7000 18-200mm @ 200mm ISO 250 3-bkts f/11 Lr4, HEP2, TpzSim; PsCS6
Pie ‘N Burger has been a locals institution seemingly forever in Pasadena, California. It is practically next door to Caltec and likely a lot of science and engineering students and teachers have had either pie or burgers or both there during its tenure. I ate their once, years ago when Judy introduced it to me, my recollection, however, was one of feeling underwhelmed with both the pies and the burgers. But it’s a cozy little embodiment of a certain genre.

Reminds Me Of Chocolate Milk
Nikon D7000 18-200mm @ 32mm ISO 125 1/60 f/16 Lr4; PsCS6
It must be the color scheme of this 1940 Chevrolet pickup truck, the cream and brown tones make me think of chocolate milk, and I can see in my mind milk crates with old glass bottles of chocolate milk stacked in the bed of the truck. This beautiful machine was captured at the Pasadena Police 2012 classic car show in Pasadena, California on June 17, 2012. This year’s Pasadena Police show was a bit of a disappointment, though, not as many cars as last year, and fewer, in my opinion, distinctive vehicles. I also thought last year’s venue on Colorado Boulevard was a better showcase in front of Paseo Pasadena rather than this year’s venue on Green Street, behind Paseo Pasadena.
