Hiking To The Top of Medicine Hat's Cliffs
For years I've thought about doing this hike, but the truth is that despite being incredibly visible, these cliffs overlooking Police Point Park and the South Saskatchewan River aren't exactly the easiest place to get to in Medicine Hat, Alberta. There are giant gaps, coulees, fences, no trespassing signs, and no actual trails that lead here. But, when you've documented almost every other view in your hometown, you do what needs to be done. The extra effort proved to be worth the reward as I don't know that there's a more impressive place to see Medicine Hat from.

Pasadena City Hall
Completed in 1927, the Pasadena City Hall in Pasadena, California is a stunning piece of architecture. From its impressive dome to its ornately manicured courtyard, this impressive landmark is part of Pasadena's Civic Center District. In 1980 this entire district, including the Pasadena City Hall, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
This location has long been popular with filmmakers, however there are two notable examples where the Pasadena City Hall stands out in my mind. One is where it featured prominently as a backdrop in Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator (1940) and the other is as the City Hall of Pawnee, Indiana in NBC's Parks and Recreation. Given how beautiful the building is, it's easy to see why it's still such a popular location.
