Monrovia

Took a trip to Monrovia the other day to drop a fountain pen off for restoration. Turns out the pen I wanted to get fixed will cost more than I want to pay for now (the end of the nib is broken off, almost microscopic but enough to triple the cost for restoration). I did get to stop for a second to take some pix of the old train station there.

Love this typeface.

The side.

Not the station, but the light and the trees looked nice.

I even shot some film (!!!). No idea when I'll be able to develop it, but it's nice to have something better than a phone pic.

As for the pen, it's back to the drawing board, so to speak. I inherited a few, one of which I believe can be fixed cheaply. So I plan to do that and use it a bit, then if I feel it's worth it, spend the money on the others. Of course, the two I like the most are in need of new nibs, the expensive part.
