Stepping in to say this is my Instagram account above.  I stepped away from it years ago and no longer update, but leave it up as a photo archive.  (Lots of South Pasadena photos there!). Unfortunately, someone else is impersonating me with my name and picture there and is spamming my readers and followers.  If you see them (I jumped back onto Insta to highlight who the account is) be sure to block and report.  If you have any questions about my official social accounts or websites, click here or here to check.

I'm happy to see that so many folks still visit Glimpses as a sort of time capsule, and I enjoy hearing from those of you who share memories with me.  I would never spam or solicit any of you.

Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by my virtual South Pasadena front porch! In 2018  Glimpses of South Pasadena turned 10 years old, which was just the right time to take a break.*

Find out more about the history of Glimpses here.  Feel free to browse the tabs above and the many (too many) links on the bottom right for thousands of views of my favorite little town in the big city.  (All the video and slideshows can be found in the Video tab.)  I'm proud to have left a decade-long time capsule of my beautiful city.

Get Ready for the Fourth of July, South Pas Style!

Buckle up, vintage car afficionados, and take a sweet ride in the South Pas 4th of July Parade

Popping back in with info on one of my favorite South Pasadena traditions!

From the 7:00AM Kiwanis Club Pancake Breakfast to the 9:00PM South Pasadena High School Fireworks Show, July 4th in South Pasadena is jam-packed with all-American, small town goodness. There are many great things about the day's events, but I'm partial to the parade.  (It starts at 11:00AM downtown on Mission Street.)  Take a look at my video above for a vintage car lover's dream array of sweet rides, all gussied-up-for-the-4th.

Click here for a complete schedule of all the activities.

The only thing better than watching the parade is marching in it!

South Pasadena Can Afford $15 Per Hour Minimum Wage

By Laurie Allee

I'm stepping back onto my South Pas virtual front porch to talk about something that is important to me: raising the minimum wage in South Pasadena to $15 per hour.

Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by my virtual South Pasadena front porch!  Glimpses of South Pasadena is now 10 years old, which is just the right time to take a break.

Make a Wish

by Laurie Allee

I didn't notice the shooting star when I took this long-exposure shot on St. Albans Drive (aka: Christmas Tree Lane!) in neighboring San Marino a few years ago. I guess it's just another Christmas miracle...

Throwback to a Rainy Day

Consider this my way of sending out good vibes for nature to help put out all the LA fires.  (The one in El Sereno today was awfully close.)

Take That

I wouldn't mess with these two.
