Downtown Burbank

I took this photo one early Saturday morning on my way to the Burbank Farmer’s Market, just 3 miles from where I live. To be honest, I hardly come this way, because parking could be a little pain. See the posted signs. There may be public parking, but it is usually crowded especially on market day. Although I managed to find a spot, just a few steps to the Farmers’ Market lot.

On my way out, I found this murals, if you may call them such, very interesting.  It depicts life in an office, but not typical.

Sometimes, it could be fun!

Half way in the morning, a cup of coffee might perk him up! And I do, too!

    Hi Ebie,
    I really like the way they framed these satirical pictures of office life! It’s like we’re looking in the window at the workers – very clever and funny! PS When you have time, send the flan recipe.

      Hi Vicki, the farmers market is in an open lot just a few steps in the other corner near the public parking.

    these are hilarious.
    where’s the farmer’s market held…in downtown proper or nearby?
    is downtown still just a walking place, no cars allowed, or did they change that all again?

      Hi Erin, the Farmers Market is on the corner lot in San Fernando or Orange, near the public parking. Still the same, some streets are closed only pedestrians. Parking is really strict. There are a lot of condos in the downtown area.

      Hi Ewok, the weather here has been very fair, mid 50′s in the early morning as I drive to the Park and Ride, and 70′s in the afternoon on my way home. I smell autumn in the air, and hoping to visit some pumpkin patch in the next few weeks.

    I think murals are an interesting way to give a community character. They are becoming quite popular and there is a lot of variety from community to community. Usually they showcase something unique in the area, these are quite different.
    I never spent much time in Burbank, except after the Northridge earthquake, then that is where we had to go to replace what had broken.
