Lifelong Pasadena-area resident George Garcia shot this video of our Public Storage Rose Parade float on his iPhone. For seven years, George has been in charge of maintaining the 1,400 roses at Pasadena City College, always paying special attention to those along Colorado Boulevard, where the Rose Parade passes every year. He finally got to attend the parade for the first time this year when a friend offered a free ticket. We love this video for the running commentary. Thank you George! Happy New Year!

Congratulations to all employees for our Grand Marshal’s Trophy award for excellence in creative float concept and design. We hope you’ve enjoyed checking out our “space” alien float, officially called Adventures in Space. Go Orange!
