Liz Goetz
all those years of taking as given
the mountain skyline
rich vegetation
gentle climate
it took someone from another country
to show me my own terrain
Liz Goetz, a California native, has a long learning curve. She appreciates the beauty of Pasadena more and more, as she gets older.

Tom Hall
I’ve always thought of Pasadena
as a small town
Today driving rain-freshed streets
amazed how far from Raymond to Lake
Arroyo, Molina, Los Robles –still more
Hudson — at last ! aha: Lake.
[now turn left] –[this isn’t Texas]

Tom, This is Shamrock, Texas, where everything is within half a mile, and the streets have no name signs. This isn’t Pasadena.
