1230 Holland St., 91030

An SPB reader writes:

Here's an interesting bit of South Pasadena trivia for you: I just discovered through a Wikipedia link that the house used in the opening titles of the 1970's TV drama "Family" (the fictitious 1230 Holland St.) is actually 1230 Milan St. in South Pasadena.

I also read that some episodes of "Family" will be coming out on DVD this September. Maybe some locals would like to screen it to see how well the Lawrence family's advantures approximate the real thing.


I am not familiar with the series, but I would be interested in seeing footage of South Pas in the 70s. (Although, it's probably not that different from how it looks now. ;) )
