Whewww, another whirlwind day...
Went to see Avatar...which by the way is the most epic movie ever and is now officially in my top 3 fave movies of all time! I won't get into the nerdiness of now much I loved it, lol.
Then we went grocery shopping, got lots of yummy foods, then we went to BevMo for some yummy gluten free beer...
Then we got a phone call from my daughter's grandfather (my ex husband's dad) and he wanted to meet us to give us gifts for Roxy since he's more than likely going to Idaho tomorrow and won't be back till after the new year...
So this is just a quickie, they'll get better when I have a bit more time to devote to them....lately things have been hectic :P
Former Diablo Foods located at 155 Diablo Rd. in Danville,CA. The Diablo Foods chain had four stores at its peak, however only one located in Lafayette,CA remains open. This store became a Payless Drug Store and for less than a year a Rite Aid. It sat vacant for a little which than became a Beverages and More (BevMo). BevMo is still open to this date.
This store back in 1977...

The last Diablo Foods in Lafayette,CA.
Today starts something new. Inspired by an earlier post of a day shot of this fabulous Encino classic, it occured to me that there is much more to this community. So for the next week or so, I'll show you around town!
I won't bore you with essays or anything like that. There's always Wikipedia for more info. It's really just local observations or current trends that I hope you enjoy the pictures of.
Encino is part of City of Los Angeles, it's not it's own city. There's no 'Downtown Encino', rather there is Ventura Blvd. Or just 'The Blvd'. There are 2 Zip Codes: 91436 and 91316.
Interestingly enough, I shot this from the BevMo! across the street. Also, I posted my first ever video to Flickr of the sign in animation. It's only 7 seconds and be sure to turn the sound up! I love the flourescent glow in this, too.
I hope to do more of these Lifestyle Series featuring other communities, maybe one a month. :-)))

There's "essential" and then there's "ESSENTIAL!"
It's five o'clock somewhere.
See all my virus-related photos at:
This is from 2011 from a night stroll in Ventura CA.
Lately been going through some old photos on my iPhone to delete and free up some space. Found some interesting ones that I'm not sure I've got backed up/archived (and I'm too lazy to plug in the external HD that old 2011 images are backed up to) so I'll process 'em and post 'em as I stumble across 'em..
I was at the local BevMo stocking up on Prosecco for New Years and ran across this. It was the last sixpack left on the shelf. I figured that was a good sign so I bought it. Gotta say I was not disappointed. 👍👍
Happy New Year!
Looks like the seagulls are having a grand time!

Wines from all over the world. How glamorous!
Well, mostly Bevmo actually, but why crush my dreams?

Sports Authority at Murrieta's Village Walk Plaza, this store opened 2008 alongside Bed, Bath and Beyond, Office Depot, Circuit City, Famous Footwear, BevMo! And Levitz furniture, now Levitz is Jerome's furniture, Party City remains closed as does Circuit City, now Sports Authority is on the verge of liquidation...
Sadly at this point, the store manager approached me and asked me why (he was actually friendly, not angry but curious) I was taking photos, I told him I was just taking some to archive since the store was going to close; he said "oh were not closing", I told him that I saw only that the store was going to liquidate and that I read that online (in the news) but he said "oh, don't believe the news", at this point I decided to leave (didn't buy anything) but I guess he's just being delusional, Sports Authority already decided to liquidate their remaining stores so yeah Eric, you're just rearranging deck chairs on the Costa Concordia...
So glad they decided to repurpose the Googie-style building and sign of the former Friendly Hills Lanes
Funky Red Barn looking Chipotle restaurant in Menifee, California's Countryside Marketplace, a large shopping promenade featuring Super Target, Kohls, Best Buy, Justice, Lane Bryant and other shops, in the future they will add Aldi and a new Krispy Kreme.
Other shops I couldn't get photos of due to time restrains are Lowe's Home Improvement, BevMo!, Staples, etc.
Love these bottles, how could you not. A stop of at BevMo on a holiday.....good times.

And so that's the end of this small photo tour (cut short), I am not sure if I want to come back once the chain starts liquidating or not, seriously people it's 2016, everyone has cameras in their phones, everyone takes pictures, get over it, sadly though this store will be empty by year's end it seems so Murrieta (and Temecula!) will lose another retailer; Dick's Sporting Goods and Big 5 Sports already have locations in Murrieta and Temecula has Big 5 already so it will be hard to see who will be taking this space.

One that I dug out of the archives...
Here in the US we've got several chain stores that cater to those who imbibe. I'm talking stores like BevMo and Total Wine and More whose shelves are stocked floor to ceiling with pretty much any adult beverage you might be looking for.
Things might be different today but in 2019 you certainly wouldn't have been able to find this little delight! Cristal is exclusively made, bottled, and sold in Cuba and definitely not exported, except to maybe Russia or North Korea, definitely not the US.
We were on a cruise that included a stop in Cienfuegos Cuba during that small window when Americans could go and visit. As part of our tour we were treated to an extravagant luncheon which included the Mayor and other dignitaries of Trinidad de Cuba, along with a sampling of Cuban beer. It was pure propaganda, meant to show the capitalists that Cuba was doing just fine all by themselves and didn't need help from anyone but please just ignore the everyday Cuban peasants out on the street.
They put on good show, I'll give them that but no matter how pretty and shiny the outside trappings were the truth was very visible.
www.bevmo.com has a sale in all alcohol drinks. :D
I spotted this wine rack in a restaurant I was eating last weekend.
I've been busy catching up with the tv series, "The Wire", and "The Shield". :)
Note:
- I took this with an iPhone 4.
-I applied a photoshop action called Soulful Inspire, Soothe.
Who doesn't love a Bevmo 5 cent wine sale? Buy one get one for 5 cents! This is the perfect opertunity to buy some of those wines that cost a little extra, that you'd feel too guilty buying if you only got one, because let's face it. The $3.00 jug of Chardonnay will do the trick, but it's always nice to try new things from different places of the world.
What's your favorite wine?

Kayaks on sale, kind of expensive though!
My Christmas decorations include these festive and fun wine bottle corks - Not sure whether I'm Vixen or Blitzen :)
I earned a glass or two of wine today; first stop Costco, then Macy's Men's Store, then Pottery Barn, then Melt (for a quick lunch), then Macy's, then AOS, then Williams Sonoma, then the library, then BevMo, then Safeway, then the gas station, then home.... I might have left off 1 or 2 other stops :)
I really enjoyed the frosty glasses of hard apple cider in Australia - fresh, fruity, sparkly and light - just the thing to revive you on a warm day; I bought a local brand at BevMo and it just wasn't the same....
Formerly Sports Chalet, this store has been finally retenanted! Total Wine and More, a store similar to BevMo! will open in half the store and the other half will become Designer Shoe Warehouse or DSW, this paired with Nordstrom's Rack, ULTA Beauty and the mall next door will sure lure lots of lady shoppers; call the girls and make it a fun afternoon out!
