In the 70's, we would be dropped off at her house, one door off of Colorado Blvd. She would walk us up and down the route the night before, enjoying the party. And the next morning we would walk over and watch the parade. My grandma was a little old lady from Pasadena.

The Rose Parade was the subject of the first coast-to-coast tv colorcast demo in 1954. So, is it better in person than it looks on Kodachrome...?

So, is it better in person than it looks on Kodachrome…?

Was it fun! A beautiful, fresh morning and the good feeling and excitement of the crowd. I was young, however, which helped me stay up all night and go there! Now, when I'm back visiting California, I love to watch it on TV. It brings back so many good memories of growing up in southern California and loving it. A Happy New Year to all of you!

I've only walked down there twice. It's a lovely tradition, but Pasadena becomes like a demilitarized zone on New Year's Eve.

As great as it was- your photo of 1956 looked even better! I wish we had known of the North Woods Inn; as that probably would have been another highlight of the 2005 experience.
