A few days ago the social media group, Krispy Creme Tuesdays, held a flash mob car show — well, they tried to hold a flash mob car show–in Burbank. Thousands of car enthusiasts showed up with their vehicles, thousands of spectators joined them and filled up a huge parking lot outside of the Krispy Creme shop. The Burbank police showed up, too, and the show was shut down. Everyone was sent on their way. (Full disclosure: the company Krispy Creme has nothing to do with this group.)
In Pasadena…
In contrast the Pasadena Police Department held an invitational car show on Sunday in conjunction with the Pasadena Chalk Art Show. Fewer than a hundred cars were exhibited. It was all very polite. Very Pasadena.
While I am not much of a car enthusiast, I wandered among the cars, taking photos, having a wonderful trip down memory lane. “Hey, in high school I rode in a car like that Fairlane.” “Oh, that MG–my boyfriend in college drove one like that.” “Oh yes. I remember that those ‘bad boys’ in my high school in Oregon drove around in a jalopy like that one–only not painted so brightly”.
