When we first moved to Pasadena, our polling place was at the old mortuary at Orange Grove and Mentor. I know votes count the same no matter where they are cast, but entering a mortuary to vote just kind of messed with the symbolism of the whole day. I didn't like it.
I much prefer voting at Victory Park. You can't get a more appropriate polling place.
Had a double privilege today. I did my voting early today, then later traveled out to my dad's to help him cast his votes.

There was a mortuary at Orange Grove and Mentor? I can't picture it. Was it where the car repair place is now?
That made me chuckle.
The mortuary was on the sw corner of Orange Grove and N Mentor. The building is now used for an electrical contracting store of some kind.
Funny how we say "cast" a vote, like casting horoscopes.
In Chicago, voting in a mortuary would make more sense because most of the voters were long departed.
nice little mural
Mural was painted by two Girl Scouts. I know because one of the scouts was my daughter. That is a great picture with our American flag.
Thanks to RV's daughter and her girl scout friend. Obviously I like the mural because I took a picture of it. Beyond that, though, the mural is a great example of uplifting public art that makes a positive difference in our community.
