Colorado & Altadena
The name is the corner.
ColAlta joins Colorado and Altadena. In Glendale we were Headley’s Pharmacy, then Glendale Pharmacy. The pharmacy served that neighborhood from 1122 North Brand since 1951. In 2024 we moved to 2498 East Colorado Blvd in Pasadena. The old building was no longer up to code. The ownership and staff came with the move.
Colorado Boulevard and Altadena Drive. That is the whole of the name, and where to find us.
