Seems the SM Villa should be in the City of SM. But, bigger than the hotel or the city are the mountains. I think the hotel and the city (the hotel first) derived their names from our local mountains, commonly referred to in the late 1800's as the Sierra Madre. <br /><br />Ann: I think the progression is something like: donkey, wagon, bicycles, skateboards....<br /><br />CP: Yes, the SMV website goes back a number of years and hasn't been updated. But, the folks who put it together did a great job and the historical informtion is as useful today as it was 10+ years ago when the website was created.Michael Coppesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17662927233777789003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-376851959525276763.post-85017503802111865452009-12-16T19:24:53.632-08:002009-12-16T19:24:53.632-08:00That kid got a donkey for Christmas.

The name always confused me - I mean, why was a place called Sierra Madre not in Sierra Madre? So I drove up there yesterday to check it out, and realized there was a large swathe of lovely Pasadena housing I'd not seen before. Thanks for all the historical information you're giving us!Bellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10168550139269893109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-376851959525276763.post-48298973938947415462009-12-16T18:43:53.382-08:002009-12-16T18:43:53.382-08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-376851959525276763.post-27743460024050515282009-12-16T16:19:03.974-08:002009-12-16T16:19:03.974-08:00Great history, per the norm EoA!
