It’s difficult to believe it’s been a year since COVID hit. As our city has struggled, pivoted, and strategized ways to cope with the pandemic, we’ve all been adjusting to our new normal. Whether that has meant schooling at home, working at home, cooking at home—or a combination of all of the above—no one can deny this year has been a shift.
At Pasadena, we’ve had another shift. Hi, I’m your new editor. I’ve spent my entire life in Southern California, and I couldn’t be happier to be on board to help the city shine on these pages. You’ll immediately notice some aesthetic changes, but we all hope you notice what’s in the details here as well. As much as possible, Pasadena is here to represent and honor its residents and our local
businesses. It’s our goal that you notice our strive to cover a diverse mix of people and places, while always staying true to our core beliefs that these pages are meant to support and celebrate our wonderful city.
We hope you enjoy this evolution.
Sincerely,
SAMANTHA BROOKS
