Tropicana Juice Sales at Uptown Whittier Family Fair
I stopped at the Tropicana Juice table at the Whittier Uptown Family Fair and spoke with the salesman there.  He was enthusiastic about his great fruits and juices, as you can see in the video.
After the video, I bought a delicious bowl of fruit there for my dinner.  It had mango (que mango!), blackberries, strawberries and a couple other fruits.  Man, it was good!  If you are looking for a great bowl of fresh fruit on Wednesday evening, this is the place to get it!

whittier: The Latest Buzz in Whittier - 03/30/10 01:17 PM
Today, while I was coming out of a house I was previewing, I heard a humming noise.  At first, I didn't know what it was.  When I was able to figure out which direction it was coming from, I turned around and saw an enormous group of bees gathering around the house next door.  As I looked closer, I saw thousands of bees gathering on the wall of the house.
A neighbor across the street was standing outside, apparently waiting for the bee people to come and get rid of the bees.  Being slightly allergic to bees, I made a beeline … (3 comments)

whittier: Just Winging It - Writer's Block - No Wait It's Tiger Woods! - 02/22/10 12:36 PM
I was reading an article in the Whittier Daily News today by Bill Bell, who didn't have anything to write about, and his deadline was approaching, so he just sat down and started to write his article.  It ended up having something to do with getting old.
I didn't have any topic in mind either, but have a compulsion to write something, so here goes.
Oops, I just hit a brick wall.  Nothing.  Writer's block. 
OK, here we go...
It just occured to me that Goldmine VW Parts in Whittier has a new mannequin on the wall.  You may have seen … (2 comments)

Hacienda Road Reopens
Hacienda Road has finally reopened, after four months of construction.  It seemed like it took forever.
I, for one, am glad it is ready for drivers again who need to travel from La Habra and La Habra Heights over to the San Gabriel Valley.  It is also going to relieve the traffic nightmare that was Colima Road over the past 4 months.

whittier: Whittier Parnell Park Has a New Bird in the Zoo - 12/23/09 11:06 AM
I went to Parnell Park today to see if I could take a few pictures of the animals in the little zoo.  Well, since the zoo was closed, I was only able to take a few pictures through the wrought iron fence.
Here is a picture of a goat.
Here is a view of the backside of the Shetland ponies.
Now, the biggest surprise of all was the new, big bird that was out of its cage.  It was the biggest bird I have ever seen.  And, it was pulling the largest worm I have ever seen out of the ground.

whittier: Memories of My Childhood Home in Whittwood, Whittier, California - 07/24/09 05:48 AM
My First Home was in the Whittwood area of Whittier, California.  My parents bought the home on La Forge Street when it was built, in 1952.  Those homes sold between $10,000 and $15,000, depending on the features and landscaping.  Today, the average price for homes in the Whittwood area is over $650,000; so, you could say there has been some real estate appreciation.  Our home was nice, with 3 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms.  It was fully landscaped, with a new block wall surrounding the back yard.  It was in this back yard that I learned how to swing a baseball bat.

whittier: Brilliant Marketing Idea - Octomom Nadya Suleman - 07/05/09 03:17 AM
Occasionally, some enterprising business person will come up with a very creative idea for marketing the business.  You know the old saying for Hollywood celebrities: "All press is good press."  The same can apply to businesses as well, at times.
Like thousands of other Whittierites, I drive down Pickering Boulevard nearly every day.  My route passes by an old Volkswagen parts store that has had half of a VW body up on its wall for many years.  The funny thing is, I know that there was a mannequin in the VW before, but I don't remember what it looked like.  Now, … (0 comments)
