Pasadena, CA
Love living in Pasadena -
5/25/2008I do lots of local travel from San Deigo to Ventura for work. I work for homebuilders so I see lots of communities, yet I LOVE driving home to Pasadena. Yes, traffic is bad all over LA...that includes my beautiful city. Here is what I love: the mature trees, our beautiful mountains, the Rose Bowl stadium, lots of hiking trails and nature walks at the arroyo, the multitude of museums and galleries, the art center, the acquatic center, our amazingly beautiful city hall, the many social activities such as outdoor movie night at One Colorado, or outdoor music at Paseo Colorado, I love the shopping, and restaurants. I really love the diversity of people who live in Pasadena. I find the people who live here to be super friendly. The three things I don't like about Pasadena: Hot smoggy days in the late summer, the crime in portions of the city, and the fact that the city has gone way overboard with street parking meters in the Old Pasadena shopping areas.
