Pasadena has a way of surprising people. For a place best known for a world-famous parade and a storied football game, it still feels intimate, almost like a small town tucked inside a larger city. Maybe it's the mountain backdrop, the historic neighborhoods shaded by old oaks, or the way locals greet each other at the farmers market. Whatever the reason, Pasadena has earned a reputation as one of America's favorite communities, thanks to its welcoming spirit and outstanding character.
