Road Trip: Route 66

Pasadena’s historic Route 66 is filled with mustsee landmarks and adventures. Drive on the iconic Colorado Street Bridge, shop at the first ever Trader Joe’s, dine in a historic train station at The Luggage Room Pizzeria & La Grande Orange, visit L.A.’s oldest record store at Canterbury Records, get drive-through coffee at Jones Coffee Hut, and catch a comedy superstar set at The Ice House, the oldest comedy club in the nation.

Songs About Pasadena

Pasadena is a sensationally musical place, where a young Van Halen band once invigorated the city’s backyard party scene before taking the stage at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in route to becoming rock superstars. Enjoy listening to our Spotify playlist of songs about Pasadena while strolling, jogging, biking, or road-tripping through town. Fun fact: Rick Springfield’s “Jessie’s Girl” was about someone he met here.
