Get to Know Pasadena, California: An Overview
I’m Tim Durkovic, president of the Durkovic Group with Douglas Elliman Real Estate. Welcome to this installment of “Real Estate Tips for Buyers: Shopping For Your New Home”.
Pasadena, also known as the City of Roses, is located northeast of Downtown Los Angeles. A culturally diverse city with a population of about 150,000, it was one of the first cities to become incorporated in the county of Los Angeles and is the ninth largest city in Los Angeles County.
The city of Pasadena is famous for its yearly Tournament of Roses Parade. A tradition since 1890, the parade is known for its elaborate floats, bands, and equestrian units. Floats are assembled by sponsored organizations and community members, and the average float requires 100,000 flowers and greenery. Over one million viewers show up to watch the parade each year. And it is followed by a football game held at the Rose Bowl Stadium, which is a National Historic Landmark.
Pasadena is also known for its Pasadena Symphony, which offers several yearly concerts at the Ambassador Auditorium. Pasadena is also home to California’s state theatre, the Pasadena Playhouse, which usually presents seven shows per season. The city is also home to a number of smaller theatre companies, contributing to the city’s cultural charm.
Pasadena has a rich past, evidenced today through its architecturally significant homes and historic structures. The city is known as the fountainhead of the American Arts and Crafts Movement. Bungalow Heaven is a Pasadena neighborhood of 800 small craftsman homes that were built between 1900 and 1930. On the other side of town, the historic Gamble House is one of America’s most iconic examples of Craftsman architecture.
Orange Grove Boulevard is a beautiful Pasadena street that was once deemed “Millionaire’s Row.” The street has many original landmarked mansions that were built by some of America’s most prominent business families. Most notable is the today’s Tournament House or Wrigley Mansion, which was built by chewing gum magnate William Wrigley and now houses the headquarters of Pasadena’s Tournament of Roses.
Pasadena offers a warm, picturesque environment and a diverse community. The city’s century old traditions, incredible homes, and historic cultural centers make Pasadena a unique and desired spot within LA County.

Rose Parade
History
Members of Pasadena's Valley Hunt Club first staged the parade in 1890. Since then the parade has been held in Pasadena every New Year's Day, except when January 1 falls on a Sunday. In that case, it is held on the subsequent Monday, January 2. This exception was instituted in 1893, as organizers did not wish to disturb horses hitched outside Sunday church services. (This event was held even during both World War years.)
Many of the members of the Valley Hunt Club were former residents of the American East and Midwest. They wished to showcase their new California home's mild winter weather. At a club meeting, Professor Charles F. Holder announced, In New York, people are buried in the snow. Here our flowers are blooming and our oranges are about to bear. Let's hold a festival to tell the world about our paradise.
So the club organized horse-drawn carriages covered in flowers, followed by foot races, polo matches, and a game of tug-of-war on the town lot that attracted a crowd of 2,000 to the event. Upon seeing the scores of flowers on display, the professor decided to suggest the name Tournament of Roses.
Over the next few founding years, marching bands and motorized floats were added. By 1895, the event was too large for the Valley Hunt Club to handle, hence the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association was formed. By the 11th annual tournament (1900), the town lot on which the activities were held was renamed Tournament Park, a large open area directly adjacent to Pasadena's world-famous institution of higher learning, Caltech. Activities soon included ostrich races, bronco busting demonstrations, and an odd novelty race between a camel and an elephant. (The elephant won the race.) Soon reviewing stands were built along the parade route and newspapers in Eastern Seaboard cities started to take notice of the event.
The stately Italian Renaissance-style mansion of William Wrigley Jr. (the maker of Wrigley's chewing gum) was offered to the city of Pasadena after Mrs. Wrigley's death in 1958, under the condition that their home would be the Rose Parade's permanent headquarters. Tournament House is the name given the former home where the organization is headquartered.The first associated football game was played on January 1, 1902. Originally titled the Tournament East-West football game, it is considered to be the first Rose Bowl. The next game was not played until New Year's Day 1916; they have been played annually since then. The game derives its modern name from Rose Bowl Stadium, which was built for the 1923 game.
In 2002 and 2006 (when the Rose Bowl Game was the BCS National Championship Game), the Granddaddy of 'em all was not held the same day as the parade; the 2006 game was played on January 4. Not all fans were pleased with the change; some thought the atmosphere and tradition of the Rose Bowl were lost. Once the BCS title game was separated from the host bowl, it no longer affected the date of the Rose Bowl Game (even when the title game returned to Pasadena in 2010 and 2014).

1929 GEORGIA TECH FOOTBALL TEAM JOURNEY TO 14th ROSE BOWL BY BUS 87534
This silent and rather amazing home movie dates to 1929. Entitled California or Bust, it was shot by a member of the Georgia Tech football team or one of its boosters to document the team's trip to Pasadena for the Rose Bowl. This was the first appearance for Georgia Tech in a post season bowl game. They had run through their regular season schedule. This included a 13–0 win over Notre Dame and a 20–6 win over Georgia in the Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate rivalry game. They were named national champion by two organizations. They were invited by the Tournament of Roses committee to play in the game.
The film begins with shots of the team buses (:19) which appear to be Yellow Coaches owned by Winn Motor Lines. One of the buses is named the Tornado Special. At :53, a wide open space is seen, somewhere during the grueling journey west. At 1:15, a stop in Arizona is seen where a wildcat is on display. At 1:37, team members pose outside one of the buses (and wow it looks cold out there) probably somewhere in Arizona. At 2:00 some team members try to ride a donkey. At 2:34 the team is seen in Yuma, Arizona where Native American women are seen on a bridge selling necklaces. At 2:55 the team transfers to a train for a fast journey to Los Angeles.
At 3:24, the team visits the funicular railroad at Mt. Lowe outside of Pasadena. At 3:36, views are seen from a trolley car line that took visitors high into the San Gabriel mountains. At 4:03, a horse car is seen on Mt. Lowe, apparently pushing a trolley car uphill. At 4:21, the port of Long Beach or San Pedro is seen. At 4:45 a warship appears in the harbor. At 4:58 a woman or flapper named Patsy Allen is seen. Possibly she was an actress as there is one on IMDB with the same name. At 5:25 Catalina Island is seen, with a seaplane visible in the harbor at Avalon. The Catalina ferry is seen at 5:45. At 6:00, a diver is seen through the bottom of a glass bottom boat at Catalina. At 6:49 a motorboat the Blanche is seen at the docks and there are shots of Avalon, including the Wrigley Mansion. At 7:16, Patsy Allen is seen again, possibly outside the Casino building. At 7:35 we depart Catalina.
At 7:56, Pasadena is seen all dressed up for the Rose Bowl. Various views of the Arroyo are seen and the Colorado Street Bridge. At 8:35 huge numbers of cars are seen (most of them Model Ts) going towards the bridge. At 9:02, the 40th Annual Tournament of Roses parade is seen. The Grand Marshall this year was either Marco Hellman or John McDonald. Various floats are seen including at 9:38 one with an ocean liner, and at 9:55 one for the Hotel Maryland. A marching band is seen as well.
Finally at 12:44 the Fourteenth Annual Tournament of Roses Football Game is seen. Tech would win the game — and their second national championship — by a final score of 8–7.
At 16:20, a visit to a wild west movie studio set is seen at FBO Studios. Film Booking Offices of America (FBO), also known as FBO Pictures Corporation, was an American film studio of the silent era, a producer and distributor of mostly low-budget films. It's unclear where the studio was precisely -- the Colegrove District --
but Miss Sally Blane who was in 70 motion pictures is shown on camera at 16:33. At 16:50 another set is seen, this one winterized with fake snow. At 17:02 a western star is seen, possibly John Boles, and scenes from The Haunted Lady are seen.

On the Go: Next Milestone for Bridge Project
The Port of Long Beach is preparing for the southbound I-710 (Long Beach) Freeway connector to westbound Ocean Boulevard closure scheduled for May 10. Many improvements have been made to Pico Avenue, the primary detour route for this closure.
The long-term closure is set to start at 10 a.m., Saturday, May 10. The connector to be demolished links the southbound I-710 to the existing westbound Gerald Desmond Bridge/Ocean Boulevard. A new connector will be built, along with the new bridge.
When the connector closes, southbound I-710 traffic heading to Terminal Island will be diverted briefly onto southbound Pico Avenue to rejoin westbound Ocean via the Pico on-ramp. Detour signs will be in place.
