City near Los Angeles (8)
I believe the answer is:
pasadena
'city near los angeles' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for pasadena that I've seen before include "city in 23 [CALIFORNIA]" , "LA neighbour" , "California city of the Rose Bowl stadium" , "City in Los Angeles County" , "US city" .)
