Question
Steve,
I hope this question is ok.
Have you heard of a town called Altadenia?
It is supposed to be in the city of LA somewhere.
thanks

Answer
Hi Leah,

I presume you mean Altadena, a suburb of Los Angeles about 15 miles Northeast of downtown L.A. Altadena got its name from "alta", the Spanish word for upper, and "dena", from Pasadena. Altadena is nestled in the foothills above Pasadena.

Hope this helps,

Steve

Expertise

I was born and raised in Los Angeles. I`ve lived in the Valley, west side, east side, and South Bay, so I`m an expert on getting around town. I`m knowledgeable about all of the Southern California tourist attractions. I am also an expert on state beaches in Southern California, and have an expansive camping background. No relocation/moving questions, please.

Experience

I have lived in Southern California my entire life. I'm a "local", with expert knowledge of Southern California. I've done a lot of extensive traveling to NorCal, so I can provide answers about northern California as a visitor, and southern California as a local.

Education/Credentials
Not that this matters, but since it's required, I have a Bachelor's Degree. I also have a Master's Degree in the University of Life.
