By the Time I Get to Phoenix

Travels with the Therapist

A Circle K closeupI haven’t been to Phoenix in many years, but one thing hasn’t changed at all since my last visit: it seems as if there is a Circle K store on almost every corner.  In case you don’t know what Circle K is, think 7-Eleven or Kwik-E-Mart. Circle K stores are so ubiquitous here that I almost think you could give someone driving directions along the lines of “turn right at the third Circle K, then go a little past the second Circle K, and it’ll be on your left.”

January is a great time to visit Phoenix because the high temperatures are only in the 60s, instead of the 110s or 120s of summertime.

Watch Out for Little Old Ladies

Travels with the Therapist

Colorado Boulevard signAs I walk around Pasadena (I don’t have a car here), I can’t get that old Beach Boys song, The Little Old Lady from Pasadena, out of my head (”…she’s a terror out on Colorado Boulevard.”)

Speaking of Colorado Boulevard, that’s the main street on the Rose Parade route. I see signs advertising parking for the Rose Parade, which is now only a few weeks away.

Someone told me that there is a doggie bakery here, and that it’s something that makes Pasadena unique.  However, I checked this out online, and the doggie bakery here is just one of a nationwide chain, so it’s not an only-in-Pasadena thing. By the way, it’s called Three Dog Bakery.
