I spent many an hour at Almeda while growing up in Pasadena. My grandmother worked at the Piccadilly Cafeteria for several years in the 70s, so mom would take us there pretty regularly. I had totally forgotten about the shoe ship. Loved that thing.

We moved to the area in the early 60's first living on Santa Monica then later on Southport where we moved in December 1966. I remember when Foley's was built then Penney's then the mall that joined the two together. Sabo Road from Fuqua to Kingspoint was first an oyster shell road then they later paved it in asphalt. As a kid I remember getting hair cuts at Perez Barber Shop, riding my bicycle to the Bracewell Library and the Mall. Before all the apartments at Sabo and Kingspoint, a bus selling fireworks would show up every Summer for July 4th and Winter for New Year's.<br /><br />Great memories!Mark G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08058915107972551139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3887649527846670719.post-89582593753897259242014-03-19T09:13:01.251-07:002014-03-19T09:13:01.251-07:00you are welcome!
