Below is an idea of how Pasadena has been changing over the years. For those that made the walk from the campus to the Salt Shaker you passed by this area. It is the old Amtrack train station on Raymond. Now it is a great restaurant (that is far too expensive and noisy for a quite night out) called La Grande Orange. Surrounding it are hundreds of apartments and condos that cover the Gold Line Metro Rail tracks.

This is looking towards where the Salt Shaker Restaurant used to be that was kept in business by Ambassador students over the decades.
The following are shots of the third construction project that sits where the Pasadena Mall originally was in the late 70's. The mall was changed in the late 80's because it was so hideous, and then torn down in the 90's and replaced with shops that are covered by apartments and condos.
A so called 'urban village' that only the uprising young urbanites can afford.
