    Great diversed place. You can basically do about most things you want and never have to leave the city. You can hike the mountain side or do Old Town and everything in between.

    Bring your own grocery bags if you are going to go grocery shopping here. Plastic bags are banned by the city and it cost 10 cents for each brown bags.

    Out-of-area drivers beware: lots of one way streets and time restricted turns at lights downtown. NOT the town for multitasking while driving. That said, explore and enjoy ... We heart Pasadena!

    Always put money in the meter. Pasadena parking enforcement is highly efficient in giving citations! They'll get you!

    If it doesn't say you CAN park there, then that means you cannot. And no parking overnight on the street, unless you buy a pass from the fire station. It's ridiculous.
