Helping Pasadena stay connected to what’s happening.
Pasadena, all in one place.
News N’ Roses was created to make it easier to know what’s actually happening in Pasadena.
We cover the local stories, events, restaurants, businesses, and people that make the city interesting — with a focus on the things you’d genuinely want to know if you live here. That might mean a new restaurant opening, a city decision that affects your neighborhood, a great show happening this weekend, or something you’ve driven past a hundred times without knowing the story behind it.
Pasadena has a lot going on, but finding it all shouldn’t feel like work. News N’ Roses brings it together in one place and helps you stay connected to the city you call home.
