At least South Pasadena is slightly older than I am!  Michael Jacobs, you did an outstanding job of highlighting South Pasadena's 125th birthday!  

And, thanks for my birthday greetings, too!

Well 60% correct -- South Pasadena is not Pasadena.  While many people make the mistake - South Pasadena is a separate city within the San Gabriel Valley and Los Angeles County.   Maybe I shouldn't have said the number associated with South Pas age -- while the city is getting older -- it's definitely getting better.

Happy Birthday South Pasadena 125!
