In the Spotlight!
Why Richard A. McDonald Chose South Lake Avenue
 For eleven years, Richard A. McDonald commuted from Pasadena to Century City to practice law at a big law firm. He is also actively involved in his daughters' lives and the City of Pasadena by serving on the Transportation Advisory Commission, the 2001 Redistricting Task Force and now the Planning Commission.
This past month, Richard finally made the move to relocate his law practice to Pasadena; in particular, to The Commons at 140 South Lake Avenue in the heart of the South Lake Avenue Business District. Why South Lake Avenue you ask? Simple. After looking all over the City, South Lake Avenue is the one spot where the past, present and future are all rolled into one. The past, for Richard, is the memories of his little girls playing in the English telephone booths he now watches over from his new office and the courtship of his wife at the restaurants along South Lake Avenue. The present is the issues of economic development and growth now under consideration by the Planning Commission and City, all of which are representative of what is happening throughout the City. The future is the exciting new and diverse businesses, shops and restaurants opening all along Lake Avenue that are bringing a new energy and vibe to the area, along with the exciting new developments in the pipeline for this area. As growth and development head further East, Lake Avenue increasingly becomes the main cross street for the City and the half-way point for everyone as well.
After looking all over the rest of the City, he simply could not find as affordable a place to land with as much history and potential as South Lake Avenue. Each day he discovers something new and sees something historical. In doing so, Richard is reminded of the statement that "Pasadena is where the past meets the future." That spirit is captured here on South Lake Avenue and he is genuinely glad to be a part of it.
