What's NEW in Old Town Pasadena???


If you blinked you may have missed it!! 
Here are 4 exciting changes to our sweet Home!!!!

1. POPCORN - N - MORE!! 
on Colorado, across Mills Alley from Jakes!
Just opened YESTERDAY!!! Think Vanilla & Blueberry, Cherry, Confetti - so bright and FUN, Garlic Parmesan, Buttered, Cinnamon, Vanilla, Toffee and MORE!!!!  
I remember as a child a popcorn store in the Glendale Galleria that had popcorn balls and it was the BIGGEST TREAT! Stop by and say HI and get a FREE sample!! 
I love small businesses in Pasadena - Support them with me!! 
Made fresh, daily on the premises!!!!!
(yes yesterday- who's your local expert??? M E !!!)

 













2. redwhite+bluezz is no longer on Raymond & Green Street!!
Have no fear, they have relocated to the stunning, historical location apart of the Pasadena Playhouse!!!!
Love Architecture and Pasadena history?? Well you are in for a TREAT!! Completed in 1925, the Pasadena Playhouse has been an icon ever since and I have a personal relationship with this building! It was the start of an incredible, motivational and educational career of John Zweers whom studied stagecraft as well as directing there in hit's heyday! He was my MAGIC teacher...more on that later!! In addition to the Spanish architecture, historical details also include Batchelder Tiles in the fountain work and around the venue. If you aren't familiar with the work of Ernest A. Batchelder do a little research, you are sure to see his lovely work throughout the San Gabriel Valley and beyond. Starting from the humble kiln in his yard these tiles represent artistry and detail at it's finest!! 
AGAIN, I digress! I just get so excited! So not only do you have these incredible surroundings but alluring jazz, live performances and HAPPY HOUR!! Wine and Blues?? What a beautiful site, come by and see their new space and enjoy their delicious menu!! Happy Hour is 5- 7 Tuesday-Friday!! LIVE Blues 6:30 EVERY NIGHT!!

3. Copa Vida is COMING!!!!!
Coffee, Tea & Me!!! and espresso...
 Cup of Coffee, Cup of Tea, Cup of Life!
Yes you may find me here!! Why? I LOVE tea and I LOVE the location!!
Located at the space that redwhite+bluezz just relocated from on Green & Raymond in Old Town Pasadena! It currently is getting a new vibe, warm, rich and comfortable!
 So what's so special about this location? It's within a block of a few of my favorite spaces like Stat's, Central Park and The Castle Green! MORE on all of those magical places later! I'll post when they are officially open but keep an eye out on that corner!!
