Been going to this place and never thought about about giving it a review hehe…read more Here I am... Back at this place a hundred times. This place offer so much. The SFS city rep helps you with every question you have. They also offer a lounge for junior high and high school students to hangout. There's all kinds of activities for them to relax and hang out with friends after school. They always have a staff on floor to monitor them. That's pretty cool. Wished I had that available when I was a kid. They offer a lot of classes for resident and non-resident. I can't express how much I love this city :)

The set up was really nice the room was pretty big good enough to have 20 tables or so with about 8 at each table. Good size dance floor and places for a buffet style food, drinks and desserts. Overall a nice place to hold a wedding party or some other gathering.

You absolutely have to see a film at the Old Town Music Hall!!!!…read more We went for my partners birthday and it was so exciting to see the 100 year old Wurlitzer in all its glory. We saw a rare Gloria Swanson silent film along w a talk by a brilliant film historian. Every show opens with a little performance but we were lucky enough to see a silent film which means that the organist live scores the entire film just as it would have been done in the 20s ! Such a special experience, and a must for any fans of music, film, and LA history.

I'm constantly going to revival and old theaters like The Egyptian, New Beverly, and Aero theatre and wanted to add this one to the rotation. Essentially, they transport you back in time to the early 20th century when movie theaters started taking off! And not just about the old films they show, we're talking OG Dr. Pepper in a glass bottle and lobby cards and photos on the wall. A giant Wurlitzer organ where our organist started off the night's festivities with a few words of history and a few songs on the organ. We even did some sing-alongs lol. Everyone in the red vests are volunteers keeping this running. You can sense the deep passion they all have for preserving this history and a deep love of cinema. Got a brochure calendar for showings through June and will now make sure I come out at least once a month.

The Year in Music:…read more On Monday Night in a Closed Museum, the Grammy Museum held it's first, in what it expects to be annual, "Year in Music Forum", with 5 guest speakers, who among them totaled decades of experience in the music business. The Panel proceeded in informal fashion led by moderator Robert Santelli, instrumental in the development of the Grammy Museum, and long affiliated with The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Questions were put to music critics, music journalists, and music professors. Seated on the panel were: Josh Kun: Associate Professor at the Annenburg School, USC Lorraine Ali: Newsweek, New York Times, Rolling Stone, Spin Mag Phil Gallo: Variety, LA Times. Gail Mitchell: Billboard's R&B, Hip-Hop editor Sarah Bennett: The one fresh face, an editor & writer at USC The searching question was the one on the minds of every music professional, regardless be it the lowly sell my Merch at a dive club musician before I climb back in the van and drive 375 miles to my next location wondering if I have enough gas & will break down ..... to radio station execs, recording industry executives, and consumers streaming & ripping. * Where is music trending? * What devices will people settle on for music listening, or will they ever settle? * Is there a major world star out there? An umbrella star who captures everyone's attention? Or are there tiny corners where some people listen to cumbia & reggaeton, while others listen to Bollywood & Bangra, & still others listen to Taylor Swift & Mylie Cyrus .... ok this panel didn't have much love for the last two, but just a point. * How can anyone ever get paid again? * Are there taste makers out there any more or does everyone just listen to whatever the F they want to, regardless of the critics? Let us say the discussion was lively. Nothing was settled. And for the most part it was agreed that with music streaming from areas as diverse as the Ganges, the Amazon, and the Tigres-Euphrates, that never again will there be a music industry in it's Glory Days that can dictate consumer tastes and spending. Disclaimer: This is not a review of the Grammy Museum itself. The Museum Exhibits were closed at that hour, and this was a Panel Discussion.

Pasadena's City Hall feels more like a state capitol than a small city government building. It is…read moregorgeous and well worth a visit. The front and back (east and west) are most impressive. There is an interior courtyard and, during daylight hours, you can often walk up the stairs in the corners for even better photos. The only problem is that it is so photogenic that it is often overrun by photo shoots. It can be touching to observe so many people celebrating their special moment here. It can also be challenging to simply enjoy the space as a member of the public when every spot and vantage point is in someone's portrait. Tip: If you are visiting from out of town, be sure to cross Euclid to Plaza Las Fuentes, where there are more fountains and interesting tiles (a Pasadena feature), plus a great view of City Hall (near California Pizza Kitchen). In the other direction, across Garfield, visit the Robinson Memorial.

Basically I needed proof of my role on the committee, as well as a copy of some minutes, agendas, etc that I voted on. To conclude, it's always pretty easy to retrieve paperwork, files, or make your way through this relatively small City Hall. The staff are always friendly, the offices are always super cool (with great blowing AC), and it's usually a solid experience, as was today.

We didn't even have to insert our validated ticketed to be let out. Pretty high tech since many school campuses have that tech but only use it to scan for parking tickets. Parking garage was clean and well lit. No one was speeding, didn't look shady or smell shady either. There's some monuments, statues, inspirational quotes, a neat looking architecture arch that you can see from the street, and a old school movie camera where you can scan a QR code to look at some historical pieces. Neat! Love that they have the street sign with the sister cities. Look up Kaizuka, their mascot, Tsuge-san is super cute!
