South Pasadena History:
South Pasadena’s history is commonly associated with places that played important roles in the city like Fair Oaks Pharmacy and Soda Fountain, The Rialto Theatre, and Cawston Ostrich Farm.
- Fair Oaks Pharmacy and Soda Fountain – Back in the day, this hot spot was for people to meet at the store to grab a bite to eat, or just relax with family and friends. Do not be fooled by the vintage look of the place, they say what they have to offer is thoroughly modern.
- The Rialto Theatre – Built in 1925, The Rialto Theatre, is one of the last remaining single-screen movie places in the Los Angeles Area!
- Cawston Ostrich Farm – Opened in 1886, Cawston Ostrich Farm, was America’s FIRST ostrich farm! (pictures)
South Pasadena, interestingly enough, has been involved in a lot of movie productions including The Terminator, Gone with the Wind, Halloween, American Pie, Legally Blonde, 13 Going on 30, Back to the Future, Mr. Deeds, and Bruce Almighty. And these are only some of the movie/TV show productions that have been filmed in this city!
South Pasadena’s neighboring city San Marino has always been its rival. Beginning in the 1900′s, until now, South Pasadena High School and San Marino High School have met during football season to combat for a victor’s plaque that has been juggled back and forth between the two rivalries!
Cafes:
Heirloom Bakery & Café -In the artsy Mission West district of South Pas, this colorful café features breakfasts, quiches, salads and pizza, plus freshly baked breads and scones. Personally, this is my family’s favorite breakfast hangout – it’s hard to pick which cupcake to have. You absolutely have to try the carrot cupcake – to die for!
