Review #938 2026-002…read more I was in the area for a belated New Year's Day lunch with my brother at Auntie Qiu Kitchen. The restaurant doesn't have parking, though there's some street parking on Main St. & the adjacent streets. It was a rainy day & I didn't want to park too far away. Luckily, First Street Parking Structure sits just behind the restaurant, off 1st & Main Sts., though we entered from Garfield Ave. The free parking structure offers 4 hours of parking from 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM, & it's not gated or guarded so not sure what happens if you extend the time limit or park before/after business hours. There's other signage that says parking is for business patrons only, all others will be towed & to call (626) 570-5168 for towed cars. I didn't bother waiting for spaces to open up, & went straight to the roof for parking since it was during lunch rush. It was about 1/2 full on that last stretch. I think there's 4 levels of parking? The sky was dark & gloomy, yet the structure wasn't well-lit; other reviewers cautioned safety concerns due to theft, lack of lighting, & loitering. I'm glad my car was still in one piece when I was done with lunch. Whew! There's a pocket garden just north of the structure, but I'm not sure if it's a part of First Street Parking Structure. It has a couple of benches, a couple of citrus trees (possibly lemon or orange?), & a short walkway. The structure is in a prime location surrounded by a dozen plus restaurants & other businesses, so it's convenient but concerning since it's not that visible with foot traffic & may pose safety issues. I might try for the surrounding area for the 2-hr. street parking when the weather's better.

Be careful, got my catalytic converter stolen while parking here at 1pm on a weekend.read more

Review #989 2026-059…read more Old Town Pasadena no longer has garages that offer free parking for the 1st 90 minutes. De Lacey Garage is 1 of 3 "Park & Walk" city-owned garages that offers the cheapest rates in the area; Schoolhouse Garage (33 E. Green St.) & Marriott Garage (48 N. Raymond Ave.) are the other 2 sister garages. Both De Lacey & Schoolhouse (1 block east) Garages are more centrally located in Old Town, whereas Marriott Garage is at the edge across from Memorial Park. Rates (as of April 2026): $1: 1st 2 hours $2/hour thereafter $12 daily maximum Or if you truly don't want to pay, you could walk a few blocks west & park at Ralph's (320 W. Colorado Blvd.); however, I'm not sure how vigilant the supermarket is about towing if you're not a customer. When I was a student at Pasadena City College, there was free street parking & limited free time in parking garages in Old Town Pasadena. Since 07/2022, the longstanding 1st 90 minutes of free parking in city-owned parking garages were eliminated & a new policy was implemented to $1 for the 1st 2-hours to fund maintenance & repairs. I was in the area for a Yelp event & wasn't sure if I can find free parking nearby & with my time constraints to return in time for my daughter's swim meet, it was easier to use a parking garage. Luckily, De Lacey Garage is just around the corner of Lather so it was perfect! When I returned to my car, I had a hard time spotting the payment kiosk(s) since there's notices that state you need to pay first before attempting to exit. There was no kiosk by the stairs & elevator, which would be a sensible location to place a kiosk since it's an exit point. I looked at both ends & didn't see one, so I drove to the exit & paid there. It wasn't until I checked the reviews that there's only 1 payment kiosk & it's located at the ground level. If you're planning to dine or shop in Old Town Pasadena, I recommend parking here at De Lacey Garage or Schoolhouse Garage; they're centrally located & cheaper than metered parking.

At that point, there is no difference between this lot and the one Colorado lot (my other preferred spot in the area). Making a review post because the other info here is outdated. Other than this, it comes down from four stars to three stars since the elevators are down at the moment (August 2025); therefore, if you have accessibility issues that could be an issue.

Schoolhouse parking structure is my go-to when I am in Old Town Pasadena. It's located on Greene…read moreStreet. It is close to Chef Tony's Dim Sum, Hello Gelato, YiFang, All India, 85 Bakery, and so many more dining and shopping. It does have a few spaces for free 15 mins parking... sometimes I use this option when I'm picking up a to-go order from All India. Otherwise, if I need to park longer, I'll pay $1 for the first 2 hours. For any additional hour, it's $2 each. Maximum daily or lost ticket, it's $12 total. You can't beat these prices compared to other parking facilities at other cities. Of course, it all depends on where you're at. I think most of the Pasadena parking facilities are set at these prices. Yay! They used to offer first 90 mins parking free, but that is no longer available. Oh well... we gotta go with the times. Grateful for the low parking cost especially when there are so much to see, do, and eat in Old Town Pasadena. I can spend the entire day here! Just a tip, pick a centralized parking structure before heading over to Old Town Pasadena so you don't have to walk too far to get from one end to the other end.

Dining in Los Angeles, California…read more.. Monterey Park Mall is best known for NBC Seafood Restaurant. Just look for the tall street sign that advertises LA Fitness. Universal Bank is also here, but it is not as prominent. Mr. Baguette is in a building on the street... and so is Jim's Bakery... Another building (yes - there are several buildings here) at this mall houses NutriShop, SW Merchant, and MPJ Nail Spa. I actually parked under this building. Because... Even though there's free shared parking... when it's full, look for the Additional Underground Parking. Some of the spaces at the Underground Parking are covered! Enjoy!

The restaurant is still here and probably took over most of the small stores for their space. There's a boba shop, a gym, bakery, and a few other businesses here.

Plenty of food options here. One of my favorite is Ding Tai Fung, also the Nagi ramen place is another good choice. If you have room for dessert, the Japanese cheesecake at Uncle tetsu is a place I stop for sweets. Plenty of parking, there is usually a lot of parking available at the structure by AMC and Bowlero.

I really like this mall I just visited about two weeks ago…read more They have a great selection of Asian specialty foods, skincare, and toys/things to do. My favorite place in the mall is the Hello Pottery and the bakery upstairs near the Gap. The massage people upstairs could do a little better but I guess because I'm pregnant they didn't want to put too much pressure on me. I felt like they rushed my massage at Diamond massage since it was close to closing time. I have yet to see the entire mall but I loved one of their Korean skincare stores I got a few items, the old navy is nice, Nordstrom employees helped me and told me about my bag that I got how to care for it, the Din tai fung was my first time going and nice. I still want to explore the rest :) especially the market downstairs

I'm updating my review for two reasons. First, I've now used the parking structure. Second, the…read moreGold Line is no more, and this station is now the eastern terminus of the E Line (it was formerly the the southeast terminus of the Gold Line and then the eastern terminus of the southern half of the severed Gold Line)--new experience and all. PARKING STRUCTURE It used to be free on weekends, but it no longer is. That's kind of annoying, but $3 for three hours is pretty good. There are plenty of parking spaces. You can use the Metro app to pay for parking, or you can use the machine on the first level. If you use the machine, you'll need your license-plate number, so either memorize it or take a photo of it before you go downstairs. There's only one pay station. I believe parking is free from four a.m. to eleven a.m., but I may just be misreading things. You would end up paying way more for parking (and gas) if you drove to your final destination, so don't complain about a dollar an hour. Unfortunately, there's only one entrance to the parking structure, and you have to be heading southbound on South Atlantic Boulevard to enter, so even though the address of the station itself and its platform are technically on Pomona Boulevard, you'll need to approach on Atlantic from the north to park. Trust your GPS in this one case. The elevator is Peesville, USA, so don't use it if you don't need to, and don't touch anything with your bare hands. E LINE If you want to go from East L.A. to Santa Monica for $1.75 (or $0.35 if you're a senior outside of rush hour), this is your stop! I've yet to make that entire trip, but I've now traveled to two Notre Dame-USC games from here. The first time, it was to Jefferson/USC Station to see the Notre Dame women dominate the No. 3 Women of Troy at the Galen Center. The second time, a week later, to Expo Park/USC Station to see the Notre Dame football team punch its College Football Playoff ticket against a defenseless Trojan defense. Atlantic was our starting and returning point on both occasions, and it still scores three stars as a station. They need more fare machines. At the eastern (parking-structure) end of the platform, there are only two. Because the machines are so complicated, this is nowhere near enough, especially at the beginning/end of a line. My other complaint is that the distance from the eastern end of the platform to the parking structure is ridiculously long. I never noticed this before, but then I had never ridden the train with someone who couldn't easily walk long distances before. When the E Line gets extended farther east (all the way to Whittier!), they're actually going to rebuild the platform southeast of where it now sits. I hope they take walking distance from parking to the new platform(s) into account.

(Skip to the last paragraph cause I'm rambling about my childhood lol)…read more Formerly San Gabriel Square, now renamed to TAWA Gateway, I have 20+ years of memories here since I grew up coming here a lot. Here's some really random memories I remember: running around the entire plaza playing hide and seek with my dad, getting so lost as a child that 99 Ranch made a store announcement looking for my mom, playing around the fountain areas with my dad, shopping with my mom in the indoor 3 floors where there was full of vendors, getting affordable Chinese Togo from Sam Woo(gone now from this plaza), late night dinner and dim sum at the Five Star Seafood restaurant(still do to this day), hanging out with with friends during my teenage/college years at Boba 8090(now going to be a Cha Redefine soon), going through nightmare parking situations when the plaza was super busy, parking super far at night then walking back to my car realizing someone started a random car meet in that part of the lot, getting stuck behind traffic by Teslas trying to get in the Tesla charging stations, the time I got in the underground parking with a pick-up truck(don't recommend lol), the one stairs that always smelled like urine, and many more random memories here. In the more recent years the plaza has been getting more empty with stores but still always lots of people come for the 99 Ranch and restaurants even during the construction and remodeling. They took out all the fountains and looks like now going to be artificial turf for people to lounge on chairs now and they did lots of repainting and repaving the parking lot. Now they are finally getting more businesses opening up like Marugame Udon and Cha Redefine. Excited to see this new chapter for this shopping center! (I will update my review again after more stores fill up this place again.)
