Family history living in South Pasadena

My parents bought their first SP home in 1958. It was a cute little Craftsman located on Meridian between Monterey Rd and El Centro. We moved to a larger home on Hope St near Garfield Park in 1965 where my parents remained until 2006. Fortunately, the house on Meridian proved difficult to sell due to its proximity to the proposed freeway route. They turned it into a rental and their first tenant paid off their mortgage by living there for 20 years. My mother moved back into that little house in 2006 and she is still living there today. Note: The property next to my Mom's house on Meridian recently sold for over $1.7 million.

Helen Martorano Zanoli (sister), class of 1974

Cindy Martorano Caldwell (sister), class of 1977
