    What is now the Goldline Metro train that runs partially underneath Old Town Pasadena.. Use to be an above-ground freight train. It gave Old Town a sort of charm to see a slow-moving freight train run across Colorado Blvd through the alleyway just West of Arroyo Parkway. There were lots of great spots to eat and drink, Moose McGillycuddy's, Billy's Dugout, Jake's, Twin Palms, McCormick & Schmick's, Q's Billiards. Which is now Barney's Beanery. The Baked Potato, Jerry's Famous Deli, etc.

    Any Southern California Natives remember Old Pasadena in the 90s an early 2000s? If you liked night life without the drive to Hollywood? than Old Pas was it. From Thursday nights to Saturday nights the side walk on Colorado from Arroyo Parkway west to Pasadena Ave, then from Green Street, North to Union St was packed with party people. An article in the Pasadena Weekly wrote Old Town Pas would get anywhere from 4K up to 8K depending on the time of year. When you add the ones cruising up and down Colorado, I would say up to 10K... It was an awesome 1st date spot as you had the traditional movie and dinner with restaurants ranging from $$ to $$$$.
    And if the date was going really well, then you had dozens of night clubs/bars to go dancing OR both can head over to a bar of Ur choice. If you want to get crazy drunk, than the world famous Freddie's 35er Bar was cool. If you want to impress but not over do it on fun, then a round of pool with ONE!! i REPEAT ONE!! bowl of "Tea for Two" yes, that's a Long Island Tea for Two at Jake's Billiards (no longer there) After that it can be close to last call, and now after being filled up on liquid courage, it's time to see where the night takes you (Ur place Or hers)😀
    Or if you didn't have a date, then it was a great place to meet Ur possible future wife/husband Or the one that got away and left you with a great memorable night.. As you can tell I was in my 20s during the 90s and now married with three adult kids and 5 grandchildren, living in Henderson NV. I truly love my new neighborhood with my backyard having a distant view of the Las Vegas Strip....
    But growing up in San Marino CA, that borders with Pasadena will always have that place in my heart. It was 2010 give or take a year that Pasadena City Hall definitely took the fun out of Old Town Pasadena.
    *BTW* My childhood buddy met his now wife of 22 years at King Taco at 3:00am on a Saturday Night after partying at Mouse McGillicuddy's. Actually it was Sunday Morning at 3am and my buddy and I never thought we would be grandparents at 55 years old.

      Pasadena got too popular and upscale since 2000s. Slowly the fun things disappear that attracted all types. The movie theaters is now Tiffany's. Barnes and noble closed. It could be that people today don't shop at these kind of retail stores like gap, j crew, etc. I think Glendale galleria and Americana at brand sucked the regions retail esp Pasadena, Burbank and eagle Rock. Today nightlife is more spread out in Highland Park, Downtown LA, echo park, Glendale. Pasadena shrunk but still has some. But nothing like the 90s

    • @jonathandoelander6130
      @jonathandoelander6130 Před 2 lety +2

      @@saybanana Part of the "problem" is that Pasadena is a real grid of real streets. Places like The Grove, Third Street Promenade, Universal City walk, and The Brand are all artificial constructs, tightly managed, with a balance of certain kinds of shops. That makes it easier to keep just enough restaurants, book stores, night clubs, bars, and shopping spots. OldTown depends only on luck and commerce to keep the right mix.

      I live here so im biased but I would rate it a 7 out of 10. It is in Los Angeles county but it feels separated from most of the BS that comes with living in LA or SoCal for that matter. its 20-30 minutes away from most major attractions, close to the beaches and fairly close to 3 major airports. We have a huge community college, and some high end colleges like Cal Tech and Art Institute. We have JPL located here for people who want to work in that field, plus a ton of Medical centers for those career paths. As far as food places go we have a metric-ton of food option ranging from all delicacies. Old Town is our downtown but there are other smaller nooks that cater to locals for bars and nightlife. But best of all, the regular riff-raf you get from LA in almost none existent here.

      It's a overall pretty city - 8. It is really middle class suburb city. Nice architecture. Not too busy but with amenities of a big city like a convention center, major university, museums, sports stadium, walkable dense neighborhoods, metro stations, many buses. It is somewhat boring. It lacks the edgy vibrancy of the 1990s. But maybe it doesn't want to be that.

It was ten o'clock in the morning and you could fire a gun down the middle of the street. Creepy place. Big bank size buildings shut up. And had been like that for what looked like a long time.
