Many of the buildings on Colorado Blvd, the main thoroughfare into Pasadena, have facades that were built in the 1920's. By the 1980's this part of the city had been abandoned for several years and was in disrepair. There were plans to raze the older buildings and create a new "modern" business district.....

Some buildings on Colorado were replaced by these 2 "stealth" buildings. These buildings are completely uninviting with very few people walking near them. This is in contrast to the older buildings on the street where crowds of people walk, browse, eat and shop. Thankfully the plan to replace all of the historical buildings was never fulfilled and the area has had a major revival since the mid 90's.
