Great Idea To Contact Your Clients During Tax Time -Protect our Environment - 04/26/08 07:09 PM
Today, I attended an event called the "Shred and Fed." 
This event was held by Coldwell Banker Old Pasadena Office, located in Old Town Pasadena.  It was a HIT.
The agents of the office hires a reputable secure and disposal/recycling company to get rid of your e-waste and paper/files.  Such as: computer, monitor, telephone, radio, battery, old bank statement, financial documents, credit card bills, printer, cell phone, VCR, keyboard, fax machines, and the list goes on and on.  This recycling company can destroy hard drives using their "Separation Technology."  Note:  The company does not land fill anything.
With all the GREEN MOVEMENT, clients love this, … (1 comments)

ROSES AND ROSES IN ALTADENA, CA - 04/25/08 01:56 PM
ROSES AND ROSE, BEAUTIFUL ROSES.
Altadena has beautiful views of the San Gabriel Mountains, and now, the roses are breathtaking.
Now that spring is here and summer coming along, I have seen so many beautiful flowers, especially roses in many homes.  As I drive along Altadena Drive, up Marengo Avenue, I encounters these magnificent roses.
Other great locations to check out the blooming flowers are the Huntington Library and the Descanso Gardens.
Go Enjoy the Colors!

Christmas Tree Lane - Historic Site of Altadena, CA - Another Endangered Species - 04/10/08 05:43 PM
It's not Christmas yet, but we know how fast a year goes by, right?
In Altadena, there is a street call the Christmas Tree Lane where each year, a "Lighting Ceremony" is held in December.

In 1886, the Woodbury Family who were the founders of Altadena planted 134 deodar trees on this lane which would lead to the entrance of the mansion which were in plan to be built. Well, the home was never built but the trees grew and grew, and "housed" the Santa Rosa Ave.
