There have been some good stories and shop and restaurant recommendations, but the main part of the zine seems to be made for very rich people. Very slick. Nothing wrong with being rich but there are lots of great people in Pasadena who aren't represented here. Where are the postal workers, the pet sitters, the teachers, etc? I think this is just a national group that churns out mags like this for many cities. And I'm tired of the constant articles on best doctors, lawyers, realtors.

Maybe they are good for larger printing jobs but for making copies of pictures, your better off…read moregoing elsewhere. Like, anywhere. I had YELP send out quote requests for a simple task. I just need 2 copies made from an original photo. Thats all. Color Images replies saying it was $5 and can be done while I wait. I replied to confirm and they said it was easy and to come on down. So I send my husband in the following day to drop off the picture. After dropping it off he calls me back and tells me how rude the guy at the counter was to him and just how complicated he made a simple task seem. He said the guy acted like it was just a huge inconvenience, asking several questions for what should be simple and self explanatory and complaining that they normally do larger jobs , blah blah blah. At the end of the day I hadn't heard back from them as promised to let me know it was ready. I was already on a time crunch, because I intended this picture as a gift to someone who was visiting so I stopped by to see if it was finished (4pm, drop off was 9am) and the guy said "Oh, I forgot, let me warm up the machine". About 10 min later I have the copies. Now remember, I specifically asked for a color print of a glossy photo and they specifically responded that they can provide this. What I got was AWFUL. It was a morphed, discolored, paper copy. Common sense dictates that if someone asks for a copy of a glossy photo then theyd get a glossy photo in return. Its was so terrible. I think he even tried to balance the color, which made it worse...... The original photo was taken is soft lighting but it came out like it was red..... I dont even know how to explain it other than it was absolute garbage. Like I said, maybe they do good work on large print jobs but this place had no business reaching out to me when I was specific about what I was looking for AND the guy who is at the service desk is rude and unprofessional. I dont care about the measly $5. I care that my time was wasted and that both my husband and I were treated poorly. Oh, and I had to ask for my card back because he didnt return it at the end of the task and yes, he forgot because he sent me on my way before giving it back. I drove straight to CVS and printed out a perfect glossy duplicate for under $1.00, self service, took 3 minutes, the picture wasnt damaged or bent like I had feared which is why I did not go in the first place and no drama.

This review is specifically about their publication of Fictitious Business Names as I've yet to…read moreread the paper. I called about 8 different local papers to get their prices and deadlines re: publishing my Fictitious Business Name Statement (aka DBA) and only 3 of them even bothered to call back. Ellen at THE PASADENA WEEKLY was not only the first but she knew her business backwards and forwards. Since everyone was basically the same price it was customer service which made my decision for me. And when I sent in the paperwork she noticed a mistake made by the County Recorder's Office and got right back to me about it. After 2 follow-up calls a piece, I have yet to even hear from The Pasadena Star News and those other papers. Call Ellen and use her for all your FBN needs in LA County!

I've never had a subscription to a local paper before and it's really great. I find that I ended up reading articles I normally wouldn't read online. Maybe because I'm drawn in by more than just the headline when reading the hard copy. And, to boot, Pasadena Star News is an excellent local paper. There's quite a lot of local coverage which I find valuable as a newcomer to the area. And there's nice in depth coverage of the biggest news stories of the week. And, I guess it's sort of old school but I really enjoy lingering over a newspaper at breakfast on the weekends. I feel like I'm living in a 70s movie :). After 3 months the novelty hasn't worn off and I'm keeping the subscription.

While they mainly publish books for local authors (short stories, poems, fiction and non fiction), they were open on art night giving away free books (pre-prints), had a kids activity (making a super hero mask), and had the author of one of their books teach folks about how to make homemade tortillas and try out organic tequila. While I was bummed that they don't actually press the books here (done in Chicago), as a non-author I enjoyed checking out their exhibit on the process of book publishing including cover design and other cool art night activities and will keep them in mind if we ever need to rent space
