Anyone know of a local shop around pasadena or SGV that sells wood butcher blocks? For a desk I'm building

Has anyone seen any street vendors in Pasadena selling mini Mexican flags? My kids want one and for today's game and it's too late to buy online.

Any idea where I can find some?

Are there any metro bikes around Pasadena? Maybe PCC? Looking to use one to get to the rose bowl from PCC

There’s a house next to ours that we believe people are using as a home base for some type of business. We see different vehicles and people come and go throughout the day, including children. It doesn’t appear that anyone actually lives there. They have a large fence that goes around their whole property so you can’t see what is going on. If they were quietly running a business, we wouldn’t care.

But, they have a loud ass diesel truck that they start at 7:00ish every morning and let run for 10-15 minutes before leaving. They use some sort of vacuum or leaf blower daily before 8:00AM. They have big ass parties at least once a month that have gone past midnight. Sometimes they have even have a loud ass sonidero. We’ve seen them with full face gas masks on disposing of some sort of chemicals into their trash can. And one of the people that we see frequently go to the house looks like a dr*g dealer. He walks around the neighborhood smoking a blunt, on his phone, wearing a bunch of gold chains like a walking caricature.

Whatever they’re doing out of the house, they are seem to be pretty comfortable doing it knowing there will be no consequences which leads us to believe the city is in on it somehow. We’ve made a noise complaint a couple of times when their music was shaking our windows still at 11PM. This has been going on for at least 7 years and we’re at our wits end tbh.

How would we go about reporting them for potentially running a business out of their home? If they seemed friendly, I would be reasonable and go over and talk to them first but, they don’t seem safe. We just want to be able to enjoy the peace of our home without being woken up multiple times throughout the week with their diesel trucks and shouting.

Hello all, I’m looking to make friends that want to do things in Pasadena area. Been a hard year and looking for a community. Maybe a group that likes to go to concerts or raves and hopefully long weekend travel! Can’t really find anyone on meetup in the topics mentioned above 🥲. Also, I don’t have kids so nothing kid centered, and LOVE FUNNY PEOPLE. Give me all the funny people!

Hello! I live in the east coast and will be coming to CA for my sister's wedding in a couple weeks.

To help her out with all the last minute things, I'm staying in Pasadena for about 2 weeks before the wedding, so I can't get my nails done here before coming out.

Looking for Nail Salon recommendations that do acrylic fills, gel polish and good pedicure service offerings.

Appreciate the help! Happy 4th!

Hey everyone.
A little about me, I’m 24, just graduated city college about to finish my Bachelor’s in early 2027. It would be mostly online, I’d be in DTLA only a couple times a month. I don’t really mind commutes as I’d be ordering a car to and from (I don’t drive). As for a job, I have enough savings to start looking soon after moving. I have a few freelance gigs in the area (I’m in marketing/brand strategy), so no specific area or commute routes are really an issue. Andalucia is one complex I’ve honestly had in mind because it seems very much my vibe. So the one pro for me living in that complex specifically is the walkability of Old Town.

I’d be living alone for the first time, moving from Manhattan Beach. My lease is up in a few months so I have some time to decide. I’m looking to move in about 3-4 months. Ideally I’d love a one bedroom and not a studio. In unit laundry. Pet friendly (I have a cat) and as safe as it can get for a woman alone. My budget is $3.5k max.

I’m very familiar with the area and am there often but I don’t really know anyone out there anymore. I’m not into partying or night life so the lack of that wouldn’t really be an issue for me. I really like going to Vroman’s and the cafes nearby. Honestly I love Pasadena but I’m not entirely sure what direction to take and would love some insight on people my age(ish) that live out there to see if I should.

I loved living by the beach and I was exploring other options to live in a different beach area because (tbh I’m sick of MB lol) and I want to challenge myself to a new city and new experiences but honestly… idk.

This is really long winded but basically my question is:
Is Pasadena right for me? Because in a way I don’t really see Pasadena as a city I’d really grow and maybe I’d be “settling down” way too young. I’m not anchored to anyone or anything so I can really go anywhere, but at the same time I think Pasadena would be so limiting. It almost seems like the safe option, even though I really love it out there. I’d love fresh perspective 😊 thanks in advance!

Does anyone know if there's actual bike parking at the huntington gardens parking lot? Planning to ride up there for the 4th celebrations today : )

Anybody know anywhere local selling Mexico jerseys ahead of Sunday? Street pop ups etc. trying to find!!

We were underwhelmed last year. Left early on. I wonder if they’ll be better this year.

Anyway, I’m going to take a pass.
