This turned out to be one interesting New Year’s Eve. Last year, we walked over 20 blocks down Seattle from Safeco Field to the Space Needle; there and back again. This year, we walked down Colorado Blvd., Pasadena, from PCC to the Paseo Mall.
The small side streets leading to Colorado were barracaded. There was a strong presence of officers. Traffic down the boulevard slowed to a glacial pace. The sidewalks were packed with party-goers and people in their sleeping bags and tents. I wonder if they had to pay a fee to reserve a space on the sidewalk. I regretted not bringing my camera. What a sight. Folks were trying to keep warm next to little bonfires, hither and thither.
