Rose Bowl Flea Market & Much More

Sunday, October 18, 2015

Pasadena, California is our first stop of the day.  Why?  It is home to 2,500 booths!  The flea market is setup around the Rose Bowl and is open on the second Sunday of every month.  It cost us each $8 to get inside.

After leaving the Rose Bowl Flea Market, we headed to another Pasadena site - the house featured in the opening credits of Mama's Family!


Heading back to town to visit an antique store




Pasadena Antique Mall


One really cool thing about the Pasadena Antique Mall is that they have a large section in the back dedicated to movie and television set pieces.  Even if you are not interested in purchasing any pieces, it is interesting to look at their collection.









Interesting places around town



Ready for some lunch, we headed to an Applebee's nearby.






Back on the road to our next stop

We spotted this interesting Sears tower and had to make a stop!

Then, we stopped this gem: an old Sears store.  Check out that sign!  This store is located on Olympic Blvd. in Los Angeles.  This used to be one of their mail-order facilities with the retail store located on the ground floor.  Now, the rest of the building is vacant with only the retail store still operating.

Back on the 101





We headed next to Downtown LA to visit an interesting bookstore, The Last Bookstore, we had read about.  The bookstore used to be a bank.

Our last stop of today is Redondo Beach.  The Comedy and Magic Club is our destination because Jay Leno is having a show there tonight.  Jay appears here on most Sundays.

Our food was surprisingly delicious!

On our way back to the hotel, we saw a Ralph's grocery store that was closing soon.  We decided to stop and check it out.









What a fun-filled day!
