Ah, Glendale. The "Jewel City."
You might recall my diatribe about the plaques across the street. If you don't, scroll down two or three entries.

But here's something else fun:



That's a lamppost in front of the police station and City Hall. There's a row of them along Broadway.

The City of Glendale notes them to be patterned after a representation of an Indian symbol or a Greek-inspired design. I suppose that's true... the posts were put in in the '20s, they're left-facing, and Nazis flipped it and turned it 45 degrees. But it's fun to point at and make accusations.

Oh, that plaque across the street, the one that says "Defending America from Terror"..? It's been covered by a blue tarp for a couple weeks.

That's... simply amazing that they haven't changed it. But (I think) the original schwa.. yeah I can't spell that, was a Hindu symbol that stood for good luck, and they used to paint on their cows.
