Sunday Morning Sidewalk – Casa de la Piñata
A piñata in a window caught my eye walking down University Avenue in City Heights, and I knew I had to see if this so-called ‘pinata house’ would live up to its name.
The owner’s partner was in the shop, so we chatted a bit and she showed me around. It turns out all the piñatas in the store were made on-site. In the back room I caught a glimpse of a half-finished custom-made helicopter pinata, complete with propellor blades. My guess is the client was in the military.
This store also sold Mexican candy – the woman in the second shot was picking out some sweets to send to a relative on the east coast.
Leaving the store I noticed an interesting juxtaposition of some Disney toys and religious paraphernelia for sale.
