Desert Garden
Botanical garden
👍👍 This garden looks other worldly. It was easily my favorite garden at Huntington. People that work on film sets might find it blasé as my companion, in response to my amazement, was like “oh yeah you don’t work on sets”. Me mockingly “Ooooo I’m so cool, I worked on sci-fi movies”. Which is cool, but...

South Pasadena Nature Park
Park
👍👍 A pocketful of miracle! Blink and you'll miss this hidden pocket of magic and wilderness. And if you don't mind sharing a cosmically-connected stone circle with a bunch of furry little critters, this sliver of the Arroyo Seco is definitely not to be missed!

The Maxwell House
Event venue
👍👍 The Maxwell House was the perfect location for our wedding. Incredibly affordable for all the that they supply, and in an amazingly beautiful area in Pasadena. The event coordinator, Reid, was always so quick to respond to any email I sent and helped us in any way possible. The space inside and outs...

Grapevine Arbor
Event venue
👍 Nice venue. Fenced in for privacy. Restrooms are nearby. Large lawn area and a shady arbor. Parking can be a challenge and a parking fee is required if there are other community events being held at the same time

La Casa Del Mexicano
Historical landmark
😐 There was certainly a lot more electricity and energy to this place say, in 1984. These days, it just needs to be torn down so that a long overdue shopping center can be built.

Frances Patisserie
Cake shop
😠 All Cakes made by Japanese husband are always excellent with his artistic beautiful works in the last 20 years. However, his spouse, Thai's wife( unknown her name) makes some customers unpleasant indeed. She never smiles at the visitors. We have known them since their shop used to be in the Little T...
