LeMay America's Car Museum in Tacoma, Washington

Featuring a diverse collection of vintage cars, trucks, and motorcycles, LeMay America's Car Museum in Tacoma, Washington is dedicated to car culture, technology, and design. 

Harold LeMay had one of the largest privately owned automobile collections in the world following his death in 2000. He stipulated that his collection be maintained and dreamed of creating a museum. In 2012 that dream became a reality and many of his vehicles are now on display at America's Car Museum and at The LeMay Family Collection Foundation at Marymount. With 165,000 square feet of exhibit space and over 300 vehicles on display, this is a car lovers paradise. Have a look at some of the incredible automotive eye-candy on display.

Intelligentsia Coffee in Pasadena, California

I popped into Intelligentsia Coffee in Pasadena, California as I continued my exploration. With a long list of locations I planned to photograph for my series that day, I amazingly found myself ahead of schedule. An impromptu hot chocolate was just the boost I needed as I caught up on a few messages and planned the remainder of my afternoon. 

Located right in the heart of Old Pasadena, I fell in love with this coffee shop during my first visit over the summer. I had found Intelligentsia Coffee by accident and knew I wanted to return if I found myself in Pasadena again. Things thankfully worked out, and as I finished my drink I couldn't pass up the chance to grab a few shots of the space.
