Things You Don't See Anymore Part 3

Don't know that one. We rarely went to Pasadena when we lived out there. Only to go to the Huntington (San Marino, actually) or the Doo-Dah Parade.

I'd love to go to Pasadena now that I have become entrenched in the Arts & Crafts world.

It’s a beloved, iconic institution there…

Well, I believe that was about pulp-style paperbacks merchandised in grocery stores, and how those in particular are being phased out. I go into all sorts of Barnes and Noble locations, and they’re always busy, and there’s a surprising number of younger people there quite often.
My favorite store is one that I’ll bet you’re familiar with, Vroman’s in Pasadena.

Our son and I went to Barnes & Noble last weekend as he was looking for some books for one of his college classes. They were very busy, and yes, we saw many young people and some families.

If we ever get back out that way we'll check Vroman's out for sure.

The oldest book I ever held in my hands was from the 16th century. I had to copy some etchings from it for a client.

If you don’t mind me asking, whereabouts are you located?

Yes, I have to chime in and agree, as I am sure some hundreds of posts back there is a nice pic of Tom Petty (whom we don't see much anymore, RIP)

He don’t come around here no more.

Novody makes TV shows or movies like this anymore.
(And there was a theatrical movie made of the show, that this screenshot is from)
And of course, Adam West is missed as well.

NEOhio.

NEOhio.

Ah, a bit of a drive. And I get annoyed when I have to go to SD or LA from San Bernardino county/High Desert for concerts.

I still have my Emenee organ I got as a kid.

Soda pop bottles with styrofoam covers.

I remember throwing it out because it was a toy. Before it was a cool old toy.
