 | | Although it was touched by the genteel, Arroyo Culture gloried in local circumstances: in Indians and Mexicans, in the blankets, pottery, jewelry, colors, and physical textures of Southern California as desert Spanish Southwest. |
 | | Arroyo Pasadenasymbolically and to a certain extent in factlived on the edge of the wilderness; for the rocks and chaparral of the Arroyo Seco brought the ecology of the untamed interior right into the suburbs. |
 | | To build homes on the Arroyo, as did these bohemians, was to embrace the symbol of desert wilderness and to glory in Southern California's resistant, elemental texture. |
