Pasadena may build overpass at Gold Line on California Blvd

By STEVE SCAUZILLO Pasadenans have a love-hate relationship with the Gold Line. They love the convenience of a train whisking them to Los Angeles from six stations throughout the Crown City. However, when the train emerges from its underground lair and crosses Del Mar Boulevard, California Boulevard and Glenarm Street at street level, the sentiments of motorists mired at the downed gates similarly take a turn. In fact, those waiting three or more minutes or several signal cycles may curse the train as they jockey from lane to lane to find a quicker way to cross. “As much as a I love the Gold Line, it certainly has bisected our city during rush hour,” Pasadena City Councilman Andy Wilson said. “It is part of the bigger narrative of city congestion.” Read more...

The Prodigal Child of Pasadena by Jhantu Randall

I met up with the current subject for this article, Bing Bing on a Saturday evening at Nate’s Chicken and Waffles in Seattle. Before I get too far ahead of myself, Bing Bing is the stage name of Michael Taylor, the man who brought me in and gave me an opportunity at ThaWilsonBlock Magazine. With that explanation stated up front, this article is the perfect test as I’ve covered artists, live performances, and entrepreneurs and this man is a culmination of all 3. From creating a publication that promotes local artists and events that highlight the culture, to a podcast that gives listeners a chance to hear the voice of an unheard star before they make their mark, Hip Hop is the lifeblood that tells the hustlers’ story. It gives a voice to the voiceless, the underclass that's routinely propped up as pawns and then forced to carry the burden of feeling forgotten. It’s these precise circumstances that fuel an indescribable desire to rise above the position your were given, live the Amer...

From foster care to the local music scene, Mistah Wilson, commonly known as Bing Bing, reflects on going from an ambitious kid growing up on Wilson Avenue to being written off by the constituents within his unique niche...local, native artists.

Did You Even Know There is a Pasadena Music Scene TV Show???

Watch Now! Did you even know there was a complete full season TV Show about Pasadena, California's local, native music scene? If not, that might be reflective of just how much the local government DOES NOT support it's local arts. So much for shopping local, eh? Anyhoo, there is, in fact, a complete 10-Episode Season of the 'Pasadena Music Scene' TV Show. It was a show produced by Mistah Wilson of ThaWilsonBlock Magazine. It was a creative side project he put together while interning at Pasadena Media.  The shows consist of raw, actual footage of local artists FROM Pasadena, California. A lot of the footage features rap freestyles, bagpipe performances, showcases & events, and visual interviews. It may not have been produced for syndicated entertainment, but it is a living documentary of local musicians from the great city of Pasadena, California.  If you support local artists, please WATCH & SHARE!
