Every year, Pasadena, California becomes the center of the universe for a few hours. The Rose Parade, the precursor to college football's Rose Bowl, attracts network television coverage, the rapt attention of marching band aficianados and enough flowers to cover Colorado Avenue.
The Rose Parade happens every New Years' Day, in a suburb of Los Angeles called Pasadena. Preparations begin almost the day after the last parade, and local civic organizations treat this happening like Texas treats high school football.
