The Batman House

By
The front of the "Batman House"
The Batman house is one of the best views in the Pasadena Area. It's super easy to get to with a location just south of the 210. In this highly affluent area you'll come upon an abandoned mansion. At the house you'll initially see a large gate. Past the gate, there is a long and steep driveway that is pretty eerie at night. At the top of the driveway there are two stairways leading to a foundation to a burnt down mansion. The entire house brings a feeling of paranoia.


This mansion was built in the early 20th century and was used in many movies such as Clue, Rocky V, and Batman. However, a few years ago, this mansion located on a 3.3-acre piece of land, was burnt to the floor. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but what we do know is that it's an incredible view.

The view of the Batman House is phenomenal. At the highest point of the property you can see all the way to the Sierra Madre mountains. Between the Batman House and Sierra Madre the valley is beautifully lit up by street lights, car lights, and building lights.

The most notable structure in view is the beautiful Colorado St Bridge, or 'Suicide Bridge'. The bridge is visibly lit up and even able to see moving traffic.

The South Pasadena Sign

By
As you drive North on the 110 freeway, you may notice a cute sign that clearly reads "SOUTH PASADENA". However, something people usually don't know is that you can actually sit on the sign and overlook the South Pasadena Skate Park! To get to this viewpoint you're going to want to drive down Arroyo Drive until you see a 2 feet tall wall. Once there, park and enjoy the view! This viewpoint has benches and lights so you can even come for a midnight read. If you decide to come here after dark, sitting on the wall and watching as cars zoom by is delightful as cool gusts of wind  flow past you. With that being said, be sure to bring a sweater!  Nothing beats this view in South Pasadena, there's nothing better than sitting above a huge sign representing your city and talking with your friends. 653 Arroyo Drive, South Pasadena, CA 91030, USA

Art Center College of Design

By
Unless you're an upper-middle-class citizen of the Pasadena area, you probably have never heard of the local art school. However, assuming that people interested in this blog drive cars, it's safe to assume that most people reading this is in fact on the more affluent side of the socio-economic spectrum, thus you are familiar with the Art Center College of Design. Although you may be familiar with the Art Center College of design, most people are not aware that this campus offers a stunning view. Getting here is quite a hassle, however if you drive by the Rose Bowl, and drive up Lida Street, it's hard to miss due to the luminescent "Art Center College of Design" sign. Once on campus, there's a huge parking lot. Park, get out of the car, and walk over towards the large lawn deep inside of the campus. Once you're on the lawn, look out south, and what you'll see will surprise you. This viewpoint looks over all of Pasadena including old town and the Ro...
