Pasadena: Where Science and New Year's Tradition Collide
The Tournament of Roses has started each new year in Pasadena since 1890, when members of the Valley Hunt Club decided to showcase Southern California's mild winter climate with a parade of flower-covered carriages. The Rose Bowl stadium, built in 1922 in the Arroyo Seco, seats over 90,000 and hosts the annual college football game that carries the same name. On non-game days the Rose Bowl Flea Market draws thousands of vendors on the second Sunday of each month.
Caltech, the California Institute of Technology, sits on a 124-acre campus near the center of the city. Its faculty and alumni have accumulated dozens of Nobel Prizes. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory, managed by Caltech for NASA, operates in the foothills at the northwest edge of Pasadena and has directed missions to Mars, Jupiter, and beyond the solar system. The two institutions give Pasadena a scientific density that few cities of comparable size can match.
Old Pasadena, the restored commercial district along Colorado Boulevard, was nearly demolished in the 1970s before preservation efforts saved the early-twentieth-century brick buildings. The Gamble House, a 1908 Craftsman masterpiece designed by Greene and Greene, is open for tours. The Norton Simon Museum holds one of the finest private art collections on the West Coast.
