Enjoy the Spring Street festival (South Pasadena)
marinarena Says: Look for this event in the springtime in the more quiet, and unassuming South Pasadena, a little city of charm. The street festival is quaint, not so crowded and convenient (right of the Metro Gold Line at Mission St). (Don't confuse this with Mission Rd. which is also in...

Yubert Says: One New Years eve, people are allowed to camp and sleep on the street curb. People do this so they can get a good view of the Rose Parade the following morning.
Helpfulness

For entertainment, there are clubs and theaters, and various spots around Old Town offers billiards, dancing, Dixieland jazz, string quartets, and even Flamenco (Friday nights at La Luna Negra.) And that's not to mention the street performers.

Make it a Mission via Gold (South Pas)
marinarena Says: To experience the charm of South Pasadena, stop at the Mission stop from the Gold Line. I am always delighted by the old look of the area here. Scenes resemble that of a small village more than the modern, western suburban city.Check website for info on schedules and more.
Varinia Says: If you want to be independent and super-productive you got to rent a car, wherever you are in California!Or have your friends driving you around, that would be nice!
Helpfulness
Behind the red door, eye-catching contemporary paintings, jewelry, cloth, and various trinkets fill the quaint Tah Gallery. This is an unpretenious art stop -no snootiness, rather friendly South Pas disposition from the staff who will glady inform the guests.
What to buy: If you got the money, shell out for a contemporary painting, from about $100, or if on the cheaper, get a nice pair of carved stone earrings for mommy. See websites for more ideas!
What to pay: from dozens of dollars to hundreds

Quiet, unassuming and peaceful- and that is just the way that they like in South Pasadena. Just beneath the vastness that is the city ofr Pasadena is its smaller counterpart- South Pasadena -or South Pas as locals call it. Sure, it's lazy to do this but thi is a sleepy little town. Officially, South Pasadena is a seperate entity of just under 3 1/2 square miles. One will be amazed that this wonderful suburban paradise is just a stone's throw from downtown Los Angeles. Come to South Pas to have a slice of Americana and for a beautiful nature walk down tree-lined streets, by lush gardens and other plots of land.

Favorite thing: I felt very safe here even alone at night. It is only 30 minutes to Union Station. There are a lot of restaurants to choose from. The attractions are not close to one another and it seems as though the tours do not really startup until the month of April.
