Time travel for only $1
Jim Ruddy's General Store Museum
Ruddy's General Store Meseum offers an impressive collection of items from 1930s general stores. It is well worth the $1 admission fee.
Professor Gray's Computers
Paul Gray PC Museum
There are a half dozen display cases scattered about halls of Claremont Graduate University's Academic Computing Building. The contents of these cases make up the Paul Gray PC Museum -- a retired professor Paul Gray's collection of personal computers. Most of the machines were familiar to me, and I've used many of them. However. I understand that these are likely ancient artifacts to today's students. I only wish the computers were powered up and computing.
Bono's Orange
Bono's Historic Orange was once a Route 66 roadside produce stand. Today, there is only the orange -- a giant roadside orange.

Bunnies
The Bunny Museum
Twenty-some years ago, Candace Frazee and Steve Lubanski began exchanging daily rabbit-related gifts. This continued until the collection grew to the point that they joked about living in a bunny museum. In 1998, they made it official and opened the Bunny Museum in Pasadena. The museum recently moved north to Altadena and the collection contains over 35,000 bunnies.
If you can charge an admission fee, it's not hoarding; it's a museum.
Fountain of Learning
Pasadena Central Library
As a child without a television at home, the Pasadena Central Library was one of my favorite places. I spent many weekend and summer days in this library.
Harajuku
Harajuku Taproom
Japanese craft beer, sushi, and meat on sticks. What more does a nomad need at the end of a long day?
