Pasadena: Stop the Bomb

That was a tough one. Many of the puzzles didn’t make sense, and a lot has changed since the photos were taken. But I’m still glad I did it. Thank you

Pasadena: Stop the Bomb

This was a lot of fun to do with friends. We started around 3 pm and it was a beautiful day in Pasadena. We enjoyed learning about this town's history. Can't wait to do another challenge like this. Note: There is a minor error for directions to the "library" and also an error with the challenge at City Hall with regards to the number of "rows".
