glendale glitters

I was running some errands in old glendale last weekend and as the sun was starting to set i decided to break out my camera for some shots as i walked back to my car.... last week i tried to take pictures in the antique shop windows after sunset and i was asked to leave the area by the security guard. I guess i'm just that sketchy looking. Or he didn't want me attacked by the homeless men taking refuge on the benches in the surrounding area. who knows? i also happen to make my way up the bank parking garage after hours which was quite beautifully laid out without cars! you never really notice the architecture when you're just trying to get out of them.

Also, on a totally East Coast note, the elevator for this parking garage?! totally air conditioned. it was AWESOME. I was totally cooled down by the time i made it to the 4th floor. while the world is collapsing around us in this economic crisis i'm trying to focus on the little things. don't judge me if an air conditioned elevator on a 105 degree October evening made my day!
