Street Cred: The Final Count

Everytime I walked a street for the first time I would take a picture of the street sign. I posted all the new signs I collected every month in a post I called Street-Cred. I pulled all the pictures together when I went to speak to Mr. Riehl’s English classes at POLAH. It got a [...]

The Love was Felt

I have to say, I really felt the love from all my family and friends that came out for the End of the Road Weenie Roast. I even got these flowers from Kathy and Skipper Jeff – they were so beautiful. I know this is a couple of months after the fact, but thank you [...]

Trivia Time

Besides the hot dogs, I had a little game for my friends to enjoy. They had to answer questions like “How many miles did I walk?” and “How many Virgin Mary Statues did I find on my walks?”. I have since lost the answers, I’ll have to figure it out again. Mark was my resident [...]

Someone had to roast the weenies

This is Mr. Rukavina, literally born and raised in San Pedro, and my sister’s boyfriend OC-Craig (we indoctrinated him, see the Stavros shirt). They were kind enough to stay back and watch the place and cook the hot dogs for us.

Group Shot

There were a lot of cameras so you always get that “Who do I look at?” thing going on. Then we started walking back and realized we should take a picture with San Pedro in the back ground.

The Pier

I want to say that the last time I walked the pier was sometime in my adolescence. It probably didn’t even look like it does today because nothing looked familiar at all. People kept asking me how I felt the closer we got to the end of the pier. I don’t think I was sad [...]

Walkin & Talkin

My sister took the camera from me and captured the groups walk to the end of the pier. I have to admit my preference of being behind the camera. I knew most of the people who showed up and I think I may have called the group the SPBXB All-Stars at some point. The only [...]

SPBXB Retrospective Week: The Weenie Roast Pics

From it’s inception, I had always had it in my head that I would end my SPBXB trek on the fishing pier at Cabrillo Beach. I have no idea why, it’s not even a street. The heart wants what it wants so I planned for a weenie roast at the beach and enticed all my [...]

John Olguin Auditorium

Our last stop was at the auditorium named for John Olguin. John is Director Emeritus at the aquarium. I think emeritus is latin for ‘he can come and go as he pleases for ever and ever, amen’. It was a real honor to get the personal tour from such a such a great man. I [...]

The Marine Research Library

This is what the new building looks like, from the parking lot. Upstairs is where the research library is located. The library is named for Virginia Reid Moore, in honor of her very generous donation. John assures me that all are welcome to use the library. I don’t know how much research I would get [...]
