A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A CITY: GLENDALEWhat comes to mind when you think of Glendale? The Glendale Galleria?? There’s so much more to this vibrant city that was founded in 1888, and is the headquarters of many diverse companies including: Nestle USA, Dreamworks Animation, Avery Dennison, IHOP, and KABC Channel 7. For this first excursion in our Day in the Life of a City series, we will explore Glendale’s unique architecture, culture and arts. We’ll have an opportunity to visit its thriving downtown, explore a unique museum and sample some local cuisine. We’ll also learn some fun facts about the city! Our day will begin downtown with a docent-led tour of the Alex Theatre. The tour will cover the history of this unique theatre, which has been a Glendale landmark since 1925. The docent will also talk about: its Egyptian-inspired architecture, interesting auditorium (designed as an open-air “atmospherium”), and its Art Deco neon tower. This tour will conclude with a look backstage and a discussion of the theatre’s current function as a performing arts and entertainment center. Following the tour, we’ll lunch at Raffi's Place, a local eatery, on your own tab. After a short walk from the restaurant, we’ll reach our next stop, a docent-led tour of the Museum of Neon Art(or MONA, as it’s affectionately called). MONA has the distinction being the only museum in the world devoted to art in electric media. The art displayed runs the gamut from iconic to whimsical to beautiful. The backstories of the pieces are as interesting as the artworks themselves! Before leaving downtown Glendale, we’ll make a stop for dessert at Porto’s Bakery, time permitting. Our day will conclude with a driving tour of historic homes. We’ll see Spanish Colonial, Tudor, and Adobe homes, many of which have been listed on Glendale’s Official Registry of Historic Buildings.

You will be fascinated by all the roles he played in helping to make Los Angeles one of the great cities of the world. Our next stop will be to visit the first Museum in Los Angeles. The Southwest Museum was established by Mr. Lummis and recently reopened after more than a dozen years of being closed. We will see a Pueblo Indian exhibit and explore the unique 1914 building that held the 2nd largest Southwestern Art Collectionin the world (the largest is at the Smithsonian). Currently the complete collection is owned and stored by the Autry museum. Our third stop will be for a casual lunch at a landmark deli and soda shop.
