Walking down 15th Street
to SPCA Thrift Store on D
Art Deco Building
Didn't find anything I wanted at the thrift store
Walking back on 16th Street
Old Governor's Mansion Museum
Our current governor, Jerry Brown grew up here when his dad was
governor for many years
Governor Brown now lives 2 blocks south of the old mansion in this loft
The ground floor was historically a Buick showroom and dealership.
Planters made from tires at the old Firestone Tire store
Now the Firestone restaurant and pub
Almost home
I loved touring the mansion last Spring. You are, and I shall say it again, lucky to live in the part of the city that you do, because around my area there is no place worth taking photos of past the park... frustrating at times. :/
ReplyDeleteI do feel lucky living where I do. I was a bit out of my comfort zone going all the way to D Street. A young man stopped me to ask me how he looked. I told him he looked great. I was thinking that if he was going for a clown look, he'd nailed it. But it didn't seem prudent to say so.
