Walter Andersen's Garden Nursery garden railroad

One of the things I like best about being in the real estate industry is that I'm not stuck in an office anywhere, and being self-employed in real estate is even better because if I'm out doing something and have some extra time, I don't have to rush back to the office or call in to check with the boss to make up a fake excuse about a flat tire, heavy traffic, etc. LOL

Last week I was up in the Poway area for a property inspection and finished at the start of rush hour. It's basically a waste of time and gas to try to drive from Poway to my office in La Mesa during rush hour, so I took the opportunity to stop at Walter Andersen's Garden Nursery.

Waltern Andersen has two locations, one in Poway and one on Pacific Coast Highway near Point Loma. The one in Poway has a cool garden railroad that might take up about one third of the nursery.

Fortunately, I had my camera with me (ha! as if you go anywhere without your camera), and I got busy looking at some of these free slide show utilities that I've gotten from my ActiveRain camping trips, and following is the result. There are 45 slides, beginning with the old auto.
