The people here are similarly savvy hybrids. The staff and clientele are nearly all Asian, but everyone spoke perfect English. more ›

For decades, a 4.5 mile gap on the 710 Freeway between Pasadena and Alhambra has been a headache for many commuters. The freeway, which begins in Long Beach, was always planned to be finished, but lawsuits and a storied history within the city of South Pasadena stopped that.
