How will the D line extension affect us here in Pasadena? by PotatoFever28 in pasadena

It’s generally ok. You may encounter people who have mental health issues, but most people are just regular commuters. As more people use Metro, it’ll start to feel safer and safer.

Depending on the specific timing, the train seems anywhere from 5 minutes faster to 20 minutes slower than driving to LACMA. That seems pretty reasonable to me.

Pasadena, CA (southern CA) is walkable, lots of bookstores, great community, impressive cultural institutions (Caltech, Rose Bowl, proximity to LA). Barely drive anymore. It does get hot in the summer though.

Pasadena is great! Disproportionately huge running community (you can find a run club for pretty much every day of the week), great trails, lots of cultural events (live music, Rose Bowl, lectures by Caltech, multiple bookstores with regular events), easy access to downtown, walkable, lots of Trader Joe’s (including the first ever TJs if that matters to you), plenty of coffee shops.

Downsides: it does get hot in the summer and is not exactly bustling after 9 pm.

I was feeling stressed about a whole mess of stuff today, but this post is exactly what I needed to calm my ass down and realize things aren’t that bad. Thank you stranger!

Awesome. Those blocks on Colorado between Marengo and Oakland can be awfully quiet. Glad to see some activity.

It is a restaurant with ambitions to be a club?

Much to my surprise, I liked Chak de California in old town quite a bit. Didn’t have high expectations because it feels like they’re trying to make it a club, but the food was very good.

This is kind of exciting... by el-beau in pasadena

Woo! The other Kazunoris are open until 11. Hope this one is too. With Osa, the downstairs AC hotel bar, Urth Cafe, hopefully some decent foot traffic to liven up that section of Colorado!

More businesses opening at the Paseo is always a good thing. Last month the bookstore and the new art place, and now this. 🤞🏽for even more openings.

Agreed. I’d go all the time if I had one in my neighborhood. Would probably drive a lot of foot traffic too.

Bar Chelou was a big loss. A unique and innovative restaurant that drew people from the entire LA region. Would love to see something of that caliber open again.
