The Summers are very hot and very humid. There are plenty of restaurants and plenty of bars. We have red light cameras, so be careful when running red lights. If you smoke, plan on doing it outdoors. The traffic here is absolutely horrible, so try to live close to where you will work if you move here. If it's in Pasadena, don't worry. You'll get used to the smell in no time. There is a lot of stuff in Spanish, but you don't have to learn Spanish to get by (yet). There are a few museums, but nothing that I've ever heard of standing out from any other place. The crime risk varies depending on your area. I haven't looked at pricing on rent for apartments since sometime in July, but you can get some 1 bedrooms for as low as $500/mo. If you're looking for a house, you can find some 4 bedroom houses for under 200K. I don't know how that compares with the rest of the country, but its an example you can use. I grew up here and my opinion is that it's not a bad place to live, but it's nothing to scream about either.
