But to nearly 1450,000 of those viewers, the \u201cCity of Roses\u201d is home, a complex suburb of downtown Los Angeles with a deep history. Internationally known for the Rose Bowl, Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena Playhouse, the Arts and Crafts Movement, Jackie Robinson, Julia Child, Octavia Butler, Mildred Pierce, its little old ladies, the Arroyo Seco, and so much more, Pasadena has played a greater role in American and Pacific histories than most of its residents even know.<\/p>\n<p>This season digs deep into the \u201cCrown City\u201d of the San Gabriel Valley with \u00a0six little-known Pasadena stories, from Simons brickyard to Vroman\u2019s bookstore, St. Barnabas church to the Shoya House at The Huntington.
