South Lake Avenue was built in the middle of the 20th century as a brand-new, modern commercial district catering to the emerging car culture of the time. Pasadena was thriving and expanding rapidly beyond its earlier borders, and a pedestrian-friendly "shopper's paradise" allowed Pasadenans to stroll, shop, and enjoy the mountain views and warm sunshine. On this tour, you'll hear stories about Pasadena eateries like Pie n' Burger, Green Street East, and Baskin Robbins. We'll examine the sleek, mid-century modern architecture of Bullock's Pasadena (now Macy's) and I. Magnin (now Erewhon). And we'll explore hidden gems with a British flair, like Burlington Arcade and The Commons.
