Yesterday being a warm day, we all agreed to drive down to Pomona, CA primarily for sightseeing and some vintage finds. On our way to our destination, we drove past places which meant so much to us.

Almost six years ago, my Son was born at this wonderful Hospital.

I spent the first three years of my Life, after High School, at the YMCA while attending college. The two last top windows on the picture used to be the room I occupied during my stay there.

The Metrolink Train Station with other connecting transits such as the Omnitrans, Foothill Transit and the Metrolink Connect Shuttle. This being a block away from the YMCA made every destination available to me.

At times I find that a walk thru memory lane brings in new memories and allows us to enjoy part of our past. This places have always brought me enjoyment and wonder and as they change and the area evolves I will be vigilant to the changes and keep the memories fresh in my heart and mind. I hope that you all have favorite places that bring you and your family joy.
