NAVIDAD EN PASADENA.

PERSHING SQUARE - Downtown on Ice.

If you're looking for world-class skating, this is the place.
This is right smack dabb middle in an unsavory area across
the street from the pershing square

redline stationThe ice skating area...

which is just like a huge square
BOX elevated up a bit it seems.I wouldn't want to skate

hereSounds real clubby...and wooden when the
skaters are trying to skate around
-Leagues of highly uncoordinated people grasping the
walls for dear life and occasionally falling directly
in front of someone going full speed?

OK, so it's not the best place to go in town.
But for what it is, it's excellent entertainment.

when 1st arriving downtown & another after leaving the art walk...
they are preparing for a concert of some sort this
weekend on a huge stage beside the rink.

Most of the skaters there can't skate...

and just CLINGto the sides of the rails.

Lots of security around the rink area I noticed

would seem cool for a group of friends.
