Cruising Through the ‘Dena
Jun 24th, 2009 by Alex
There was a time in the not-so-distant past where I found myself in Pasadena on a regular basis. Last night I found myself reminiscing as I drove down Fort Smallwood Road. I was heading towards Riviera Beach en route to shoot some pool, but kept coming back to times of old. Late nights ordering custom subs at Royal Farms. Early morning trips to Lauer’s for Mountain Dew and strawberry milk. Walking to pick up lunch specials from No. 1 Chinese as soon as they opened or eating out at La Comida. Countless evenings spent hanging out with friends close enough to be considered family. Though I’ve never lived there, I feel like there’s a lot of history there. Several of my married couples met their respective others at house parties that we threw there.
It had been years since I’d been up that way, but it felt like it was yesterday.
