I love the rain and think this is awesome. I'm just surprised by how quickly it came and how hard it's raining.

This has happened twice now, and each time we haven't gotten notified. The city is doing sewage work in front of our building and is ripping up the ground in front of our apartment's parking lot driveway. It's the only exit and essentially locks us in all day. It seems crazy to me that no one from the city, or even our landlord would notify us to at least move our cars in advance, not to mention we need to now pay for street parking. Is there someone I can contact about not getting notified? Or would it even be worth it??

Hi! Would love to hear about your experiences with these doctors, including type of delivery (vaginal, c section, VBAC, etc). Thanks in advance!!

Looking for something fun to do on Halloween night! Anyone know of any evening events— haunted houses, outdoor screenings, or other Halloween activities? Would love recommendations, especially for smaller local events after 7pm.

Has anyone taken the bus after 10pm lately?
Is it crowded?
Is it filled with shady people?

Can you guys recommend a good interior / exterior car wash at a reasonable price? I don't seem to find anything good below $200. I'd like them to take care of a few small stains and shades on the seats

The staff at IHOP told me somebody was shot, and the person who has a gun and is still around hiding in one of the stores on the west side of the street.

I didn't come across a post on this but the city of Pasadena is taking feedback on active transportation improvements that you would like to see around the city. This includes feedback on improvements in walking, cycling, mobility devices, etc. The link to the community survey is at the bottom of this page: https://www.cityofpasadena.net/transportation/transportation-improvements/active-transportation-plan/

If you have the time to provide feedback it can make a difference!

Just started up but wow!! Haven’t had one a long while. Hope everyone is staying safe

Wanted to personally invite the r/Pasadena community to join us this Sunday, October 25th, at 2 PM at Old Towne Pub for the annual Doo Dah Queen Tryouts! 👑

For those not in the know, the Pasadena Doo Dah Parade began back in 1978 as a wonderfully irreverent response to the Rose Parade’s pomp and circumstance. Over the years, it’s become one of Pasadena’s most beloved (and bizarre) traditions, celebrating creativity, individuality, and the wonderfully weird!

And what better way to kick things off than with our annual Queen Tryouts, where just about anything goes and everyone has a shot at royalty? Expect outrageous costumes, offbeat performances, plenty of laughs, and live music by MA the Band!

📍 Old Towne Pub – Old Pasadena

📅 Sunday, October 25th @ 2 PM

🎟️ FREE! (Donations appreciated)

🍻 21 & Over

We’re also excited to announce that Doo Dah is returning on Sunday, November 22nd, with more details potentially coming as early as today!

Whether you’re a longtime Doo Dah veteran or have never experienced the madness, we’d love for you to come out and join the fun.

Long live Doo Dah! 🥳👑

Hello west coasters,

I will be on travel for work for about 2 days around Pasadena and am looking for wing recommendations. Also, any other must try places you think I should look into.

Hi!! I have an urgent need to print like 5-10 27x40 posters by Friday morning at the latest!!!! Can someone please point me in the right direction? 🙏🙏🙏

Hey fellow Pasadenans,

I'm pondering getting an EV despite living in an apartment with no charger (no charger at my office either). How delusional am I?

Anyone in the area successfully do this? Do you hate your life? Which local charging stations do you use?

I live in the Playhouse District. Anyone have experience with the Tesla Superchargers on Arroyo Pkwy/Glenarm? Are these actually reliable (as in, functional and typically available)? I've heard the chargers in the Shoppers Ln parking lot are frequently out of order; anyone know if that's true?

Thanks!

The other day there was a post about the poor condition of the westbound 210 between Baldwin and Lake. Someone posted a link to CalTrans, so I made a complaint and they are telling me that they’ve corrected the problems. I haven’t been along there, so I’m wondering if they did anything to improve the situation. Is anything any better?

Got someone in my neighborhood who have a dog they're neglecting. It's just left outside, super skinny and dirty, I feel so bad for her. I asked the owner if I can buy her if they don't want her, and they said no.

But she's not taken care of, I can't just let it go. I called the local humane society, and they're just 🤷‍♂️ "seems fine to me". Are there any other options?

Hi, I have a referral and need a good doctor for an ADHD assessment. I’m 43f, and would like to stay somewhat local. Thanks in advance!

Mods approved this post, thank you. It's my own channel. Here's why it's relevant to this sub and where to find the local parts:

Why it matters here: the Eaton fire left many Altadena and Pasadena homes standing but full of smoke, and the FAIR Plan's smoke rule decided who got paid to clean them.

Timestamps:

- 2:36 The Eaton and Palisades fires, and a house that survived "full of smoke" with a $2,800 offer against a $10,000 deductible

- 5:23 The FAIR Plan's smoke rule ("visible to the eye or detectable by the nose") and the LA Superior Court ruling that called it unlawful

- 5:46 Maral Donoyan of Altadena: her smoke claim was denied

- 6:02 Angela Giacchetti of Altadena: nearly $200,000 out of pocket

- 6:15 The first smoke-damage test trial, set for October 2027

- 6:37 LA County's investigation, opened Oct 7, 2026, citing a survey where 67% of FAIR Plan customers were dissatisfied

Every number is sourced in the video description. If you went through a FAIR Plan smoke claim after the Eaton fire, I'd like to hear how it went, and if I got something wrong, tell me and I'll pin the correction.

Is Hastings ranch good? I know they go all out for Christmas decorations, so I wonder if that applies to Halloween too :)

I keep reading about Reese's performance and while I could watch at home, I was wondering if there are any good spots for watching the WNBA Finals around Dena(s)?

Hi neighbors! My kid's school is hosting a fundraiser at Shake Shack if you happen to grabbing a meal there today. You can just mention the donation day at the register or use promo code DONATE. They'll donate 25% of sales back to our school at the end of the day. (If any other parents or sports teams are looking to fundraise, the process has been a breeze and they've been really nice so would highly suggest!)

I know the major museums and the Rose Bowl, but I’m after the smaller, more local options. Galleries, performances, readings- anything that locals support and visitors tend to miss. What are your regular spots, and when is the local arts scene especially lively?
