Product Description
South Pasadena is a small city among giants, sandwiched between the great metropolis of Los Angeles and its nationally famous namesake neighbor, Pasadena. Described as a modernday Mayberry and a Norman Rockwell painting come to life, South Pasadena thoroughly represents the very idea of Main Street America. The citys 40year fight against the I710 Freeway extension is legendary in suburban efforts to maintain cultural identity. South Pas, as residents know it, was named five times on the National Historic Registers top10 list of Most Endangered Places. The citys resistance to outside forces threatening to erode the rich heritage captured in these evocative images has made this little guy municipality a giant in the historicpreservation battle.

A wonderful trip down Memory Lane August 25, 2008
Having been born and raised in South Pasadena I was delighted to discover some of the older history as well as the history since leaving town. For me the most significant part of the book was seeing a picture of my grandfathers formal garden and the Garden House where many family gatherings took place. What a trip down memory lane. I wish there had been more text as the book is mostly pictures.
