Here's A Suburban I Like!

Me pointing to a beautiful vintage Schwinn Suburban parked in the bike rack next to us at the Vons supermarket today. The bike belongs to one of my old Post Office customers, Mike Kilian, and he paid $20 dollars for it at a yard sale. Mike had to replace the tires, handgrips and added the collapsible basket.
But for me, the most important part of this picture is in knowing that the site of this shopping center, which is smothered under incredible tons of concrete and asphalt, used to be a lovely mountain meadow at the edge of a wetlands, and was home to countless numbers of native plants and animals.
