Pasadena's financial center is at Colorado and Lake Avenue where banks, brokerages, more banks, and more brokerages sit side-by-side-by-side in tall modern buildings.  But, about a block and a half south on Lake Avenue retail shopping begins.  

You will find everything from designer shoes to fair-trade home accessories to best-selling novels to pots and pans for your kitchen along this street.  There are several coffee houses and many casual dining restaurants.  And there is a big parking lot behind the stores off Del Mar and behind Macys'.

Lake_Street_Shopping_Pasadena.JPG (174910 bytes) Along Lake Avenue you will find both chain stores and unique shops, along with dozens of restaurants. On a chilly winter day, when this photo was taken, everyone was dining inside.

 

Burlington_Arcade_Lake_Street_Pasadena.JPG (141186 bytes) Two European style shopping arcades filled with boutiques are across from Macys on Lake Avenue.  This one is the Burlington Arcade.  The Colonnade is just a few doors to the north of this.

 

Macys_on_Lake_Street_Pasadena.JPG (37970 bytes) Macys Shops on Lake occupy a sleek streamline moderne building, which formerly housed Bullocks.  The building had been neglected until the revitalization of the area began over decade ago.  There is another Macys on Colorado at Los Robles Ave. (The Lake Avenue Macys is currently closed for an earthquake retrofit.)
