🚀 The best place to see Endeavour

TUESDAY

🔥 Our temperatures are going up, on this Tuesday. 

Here is another friendly reminder of the resources, tips, and interactive tools that we have at our digital disposal to help us stay cool and hydrated during this summer of hotness

ON THIS DAY…

• 🚈 July 25th, 2003: The Metro Gold Line between Union Station and Sierra Madre Villa in Pasadena is officially dedicated. The Metro Gold Line would officially open their doors to passengers the following day, July 26th 2003.

  • The Gold Line would become our region’s first light rail line of the 21st Century, with the entire project costing $859 million ($1.4b in modern-era).

  • Metro gave 159,000 passengers a ride on the Gold Line during opening weekend.

  • The July 29, 2003 employee newsletter MyMetro showcased how our area celebrated this huge accomplishment

TUESDAY HEADLINES

• 🎭️ Unwind from the strikes at The Brisk Festival: The Brisk Festival is an international theater festival of short, ten-minute long one-act plays, and it all begins next week, August 5th, and runs through September 3rd

  • 💁 What? Fifty-five short plays as selected from over 500 submissions. Over 200 artists will compete for a chance to perform in the ‘Finals Weekend,’ where prizes will be awarded for best direction, writing, acting and best overall play.

• 🚀 4…3…2…1: The Space Shuttle, Endeavour, is getting closer to landing at its permanent home, the Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center, a 200,00 square foot expansion of the California Science Center.
