      Genius Michael 'War is at best barbarism...Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell.' - General William Sherman, 1879

                                      Nope, it's Portland. Check it: http://www.digital-web.com/portland/[^] Pasadena is a Johnny-Come-Lately pretender to the name. Never mind that Pasadena was founded with the building of the Mission in 1771 and Portland wasn't really founded until 1845. :)
