parking lot fun

Let me make it clear that I am in no way a foodie. I know nothing about food other than the fact that I like to eat it. Having said that, I would highly recommend the Old Vine Cafe in Costa Mesa. I thought the food was delicious (I must, however, be honest and admit that I generally find most food that I did not prepare to be delicious) but am also told by a bonafide foodie that this place is legit.

But I digress.

The reason I liked this place is that there were motivational (or inspirational) words in each parking space. I found myself walking around to all of the spots and reading each of the sayings. It made me think that if we're going to have something boring and functional like a parking lot (and there are many in such urban areas), we might as well make it fun! (I am also told that there's a Blockbuster in Hollywood with celebrities names in the spaces.)

The restaurant was in this cute little area called the CAMP where there was a yoga place and a bunch of stores in an awesomely ecclectic "nontraditional" shopping center.
