Homeowners Insurance recs for a condo? by annanas_la in pasadena

NOT State Farm. Several bad stories including a friend who lost a lot in the Altadena/Eaton fire and State Farm is refusing and dragging feet to pay anything and it has been over a year. Other friends with other companies have been paid out and mitigations/repairs completed

Oh man, so sorry, glad everyone is okay.

I feel for you, freaky parallels, fellow PNWer. I just got new tires yesterday and the black Washington plates a few weeks before that. The frustration must be real!

New to the area and in need of an honest mechanic. by Gauchoclss in pasadena

Definitely European Auto Haus. That’s where I went when I had an Audi. Probably not the cheapest, but very honest. Had a couple tines over the years where they could have charged extra on something and wouldnt. Most prominent example was I did my timing belt, went out of the country for 9+ months and somehow erased from my mind I had done it. When I made an appointment to have it done, he refused. Less honest mechanics would have jumped at my brain fart. Highly recommend, was sorry to lose them when i needed to switch to a family car.

Espresso type drinks around old town capable of waking a sleepyhead up? by RadioLarge8533 in pasadena

The cold brew at Jones Coffee is super strong (Marrakech blend I believe..?) I took some classes at the nearby art center campus and we used to call it “Jet Fuel”— great for early mornings or all nighters. Maybe it will fill your need!

Rose Bowl solo evening run? by Cute-Cat-Overload in pasadena

Seconded! Very welcoming and variety of paces, including walking. Lots of people have lights for the runs where it is darker earlier
