My kiddos and the Firefighter had last Friday off so we took a drive around the city. I had been wanting to visit Galco's for some unique sodas and we weren't disappointed. I had to buy some classic Coca-Cola made with sugar cane and we also found some Sioux City Sarsaparilla. (Any 'Big Lebowski' fans out there?) I bought a few just for the cool bottles they were in, as well.
When we were heading over there, we passed a cool building that I made the Firefighter go back to after. It was the Sparkletts building, built in 1925. Amazing architecture. What a gem to find tucked away in Eagle Rock!
For lunch we took the carnivore kids to The Bucket, another old joint in Eagle Rock, built in 1935. My son ordered The Cardiac Burger, which pretty much sums it up. Great onion rings!
Before heading back to the Valley, we went to check out the new bike path along a reclaimed section of the LA River. It's pretty cool what's happening along the paths there. I can't wait to ride out after the Valley section is open. Anyone up for some photos there???
