Beadle's cafeteria was a favorite of mine and I was happy when they managed to eke out a way to stay... and sad when the eventually had to close. I didn't remember the mural inside the building, however. I'm so glad that you're keeping track of these things. So many great places and historic art have been lost in Pasadena. With the current work that's going on in the Brailey Bldg. on Fair Oaks in Old Town, I'm concerned about historical details being lost. My husband and I sneaked inside the other day, and saw same faux Classical murals (of unknown age/origin) inside and we wonder what's going to become of those.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502357583419605461.post-37244430054631952492009-12-13T18:16:10.391-08:002009-12-13T18:16:10.391-08:00Great historical work again, TA!

How well can they really don't know their customer base and communities when they have hundreds of offices nation/world-wide!?
